Donald Trump said there was a ‘peaceful transition of power’ on January 6 and this Brit’s A++ comeback was sheer perfection
To the US presidential elections now, where Donald Trump was interviewed by Bloomberg News editor in chief John Micklethwait at the Economic Club of Chicago.
And it’s fair to say it didn’t go well for the former President for all sorts of reasons, mainly because British-born Micklethwait – the former editor in chief of the Economist – wasn’t messing around.
He really wasn’t messing around.
And there was no end of moments to choose from but this exchange was particularly brutal, when Trump said there had been a ‘peaceful transition of power’ on January 6 after his 2020 election defeat.
And the boos from the Trump supporters in the audience just made the whole thing even better.
Trump: Well, you had a peaceful transfer of power on Jan 6.
Reporter: You had a peaceful transfer of power? Come on, president, you had a peaceful transfer of power compared to Venezuela.

Boom!
Donald Trump should NEVER be able to get away with his bullshit lies.
Many journalists can learn from Bloomberg News editor-in-chief John Micklethwait how to conduct interviews. Thank you, John. https://t.co/NDCCeQ2NRy

It’s extremely rare to see a journalist call him out to his face. Let’s enjoy the moment, he probably won’t have another one of these in a while.

To conclude …
Micklethwait: “Will you commit now to protecting and preserving a peaceful transfer of power?”
Trump: “You had a peaceful transfer of power.”
Micklethwait: “…It was by far the worst transfer of power for a long time.”
