The clip above had over 4.6 million views on Twitter alone at the time of writing. And on a platform at least partially devoted at any given hour to parsing whatever wild shit Trump's just said or tweeted, the reactions reached a new level of gobsmacked.

Some users claimed to wonder if this was a comedy skit with an especially talented Trump impersonator, or a deepfake.

1. Trump or Swan doing "an actual journalist" parody

I just wanted to be clear.

2. I thought perhaps it was manipulated. Trump was embarrassingly clueless and cringeworthy.

Of course, Trump IS embarrassing and clueless, but he usually gets away with it.

4. I agree, he doesn't have a cognitive issue, it is only a lack of intelligence. Full blown ignorance
