The now-infamous Trump Axios interview may have been painful to watch, but Desus and Mero certainly had a fun time ripping it to shreds.

In the clip above, the two hosts break down the cringiest moments one by one — from Trump fumbling with his papers ("that's when you come into class with your project all over the place," says Mero) to the giant coloured charts the president can't seem to get his head around ("that's not even PowerPoint, that's Microsoft Paint," laughs Desus).

Oh, and of course they gave interviewer Jonathan Swan his due.

"Every reaction that this guy has is just like, 'My man, what are you saying?'" jokes Mero, over a slow-motion shot of Swan looking deeply unimpressed.

"The reporter doing all this with his hand in his pocket is quite the flex," adds Desus. "He's not even getting rattled or nothing."
