When Donald Trump (74) appeared on television Friday night, NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie (48) of the “Today Morning Show” stole the show. Whether on issues like Corona, debt, or QAnon’s right-wing conspiracy theorists – he had prepared intensively and kept asking until Trump no longer knew what to do and relented.
No, Trump is not used to such tenacity, who is often only allowed to speak in interviews.
Guthrie chimed in when Trump claimed that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had found that 85 percent of masked people would be infected. Guthrie immediately specified to the president: The survey showed that 85 percent of a group of 150 Covid patients said they had worn a mask.
Strong criticism of QAnon
When asked about QAnon, which Democrats denigrate as a “satanic pedophile ring,” Trump first said, “I don’t know anything about QAnon.” Even when asked, Trump did not distance himself from the movement. Trump: “What I hear about it is that they are very strong against pedophiles, and I agree with that.”
This same week, Trump shared a QAnon Twitter post claiming that 77-year-old Joe Biden had killed a Navy Seal team. When Guthries was asked why he shared this post, Trump said: “That was a retweet! People can decide for themselves! “To which the moderator replied:” I don’t understand. You are the president, not anyone’s crazy uncle. “
The moderator also challenged the president of the United States on finances. “Who do you owe $ 421 million to?” He asked after the New York Times reported that Trump was in debt. Trump responded that he only owed a “very small sum” and added that “$ 400 million was peanuts” when asked. Guthrie was pleased: “That sounds like it.”
Grieving parents virus?
Trump was asked again about the positive result of the corona test. Again, he declined to say the last time he tested negative before the television debate with Biden on September 29. He also didn’t show any regrets about being invited to the event in the rose garden, possibly a super diffuser event.
Trump said he may have contracted the virus at the White House the next day, when people fell on his neck at an event with parents of “fallen heroes.” Are you really saying that? Do you think a grieving family left you to Covid? Guthrie asked. To which Trump meekly replied, “No, I don’t know where it came from.”
He even stopped contradicting the moderator about the meaning and use of the masks. Trump: “Savannah, we are on the same side. I say wear the mask, I agree. I don’t have a problem. “
Praise Guthrie
Guthrie is very smart. After graduating from high school, he studied law at the University of Arizona. She passed her final exam as the best candidate in the country. He completed his Juris Doctorate Magna cum laude at the Georgetown University Law Center.
Guthrie is praised for her tenacity online. Trump’s team sees it differently. Following the performance, campaign spokesman Tim Murtagh announced, “President Trump defeated NBC’s Savannah Guthrie in her role as opponent of the debate and replacement for Joe Biden. President Trump handled the Guthrie attacks masterfully. “(Gf)

Guthrie in the show match against Federer
Savannah Guthrie (48) is not only a very smart woman, but also a good tennis player. And a fan of Roger Federer (39). Two years ago he even played doubles with American player Jack Sock (28) against Federer and Microsoft founder Bill Gates (64) in California.
Guthrie praised the match against the Swiss tennis ace: “It was epic, it was incredible, it was embarrassing, all adjectives.” She was so blinded by her idol that her Federer had to say during the game: “You have to look at the ball, not at me.”
The result? Federer and Gates won 6-3. But the most important part of the game was the $ 2.5 million that the 15,000 spectators donated to the Federer Foundation for Education in Africa. (gf)
