At one point Chris Wallace admonished Don for speaking over Joe. Don's response, speaking over Chris.
The debate took place as pharmaceutical companies were on the cusp on making an enormous difference in the fight against COVID after successfully developing a vaccine. Mostly thanks to the existence of mNRA technology which sped up the process. There were numerous points at which Don took credit for the government's response to the pandemic. Whether or not he was justified for doing so is debatable.

Really? His insatiable ego needs to be stroked for him to work to help all citizens of the country not to die? That is not how a national leader is supposed to act.
