An angry Donald Trump walked out of an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press host Kristen Welker after an extraordinary exchange in which the president angrily insisted–without offering any proof–that “elections are crooked and you’re crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked…and so is ABC and CBS and CNN.”
The interview, airing on NBC Sunday, turned confrontational when Welker asked Trump about his idea to use $1.8 billion in taxpayer money for a “weaponization fund” to compensate people who believe they were unfairly targeted by a federal government “weaponizing” the justice system against them.
In contrast to Trump, who is both.
Oh, I assumed she was calling him crooked.
Dude needs to look in a mirror
Aww… what a delicate little snowflake
But imagine Harris with her woman emotions.
TACO
He can’t even withstand softball questions in his old, soft age.
To be fair she did a terrible job, I’m not a trump supporter but her questions did feel antagonistic, which is fair, but it’s not surprising that Plump left and I would have done the same. Also I find it really upsetting that the obvious question regarding Iran is ‘why didn’t you negotiate a deal with Iran instead of using violence?’ getting him to address that put him in an awkward position where he needs to admit that he can’t negotiate without threatening war, which goes against his ‘no new wars campaign’ which would also open him up to questions of ‘the war has cost $X so far, that is a lot of money, why wasn’t it possible to use that money in a non violent way to negotiate peace and better relations?’
Wit. Antagonistic is the only way we should speak to war criminals who make extravagant claims without providing evidence.
What’s the point? He’ll say that her news media is against him unfairly and it’ll be good proof that he’s right even though he’s not, also if he decides not to talk to her again then it’ll make it easier to only talk to boot lickers
Because that’s her job
Gas prices will come down as soon as the non-existent war that we already won is over!
Hopefully gas prices will never come down. That would be a disaster for the climate
Congrats on doing your job like 6 years too late.
They’re best at doing it when there’s nothing at stake.
It’s frustrating how the right hasn’t figured out Trump’s formula. Unless, they really don’t want to.
Losing? It’s rigged. They’re cheating.
Republican who speaks out? RINO, low IQ, traitor.
Left? Stupid, terrorist, socialist, Insert Insult before first name.
Media that questions or doesn’t agree? Fake news, corrupt, low viewership, stupid person and insert insult to women.
Celebrity who doesn’t agree? Washed up, no talent, traitor, has been.
It’s the same thing every single time. Not once has it changed since 2016. Whenever there is a tough question or a disagreement, he can’t handle it. He hasn’t ever answered a question with a thought out response that either diffuses the situation, or actually counters the argument being made. He’s brain doesn’t work that way. It’s instant programmed to insult and disparage.
That trait usually reveals one of two things. The person is a flat out liar in what they are saying. They cannot formulate anything to get themselves out of it.
Secondly, the person is just stupid. Too stupid to figure out a way to put proper words together to debate the argument at hand. Five year olds do this because they haven’t matured enough. It’s understandable. For a 79 year old person, you could say it’s age. Trump, however, has been doing that for at least the last twenty-five years.
I have to chalk it up as a zombie mentality for the right. They simply hear and ask no questions. As I said, frustrating.
I don’t think they hear it at all. Anything unflattering or challenging is caught by the thought firewall at Fox/OAN/WTF and dropped. The bubble is comfortable and viewers rarely bother to step outside of it.
I have been convinced for a while that we could very easily get the orange dipshit to do a 180 on everything he claims he believes if someone were to suggest things in a way that made him think they were his ideas and just appease his ego.
But that would require appeasing the son of a bitch, and fuck that.
Mamdani got him repeating socialist stuff after just an hour that first time.
That’s a mean thing to say about your own supporters.
Is there any audio or video for that?
happy cake day
Why do we always assume that the cake is happy?
The cake is a lie
Yeah. Reddit shit that I’d prefer people left behind.
glorious cake day
Calling out CBS as crooked after installing an ardent supporter as head of the company is an interesting play.
Yeah, but that was last October! What has CBS done for him today?
You only have value to a narcissist when you’re actively doing something for them. But he’s also clearly got dementia, so he can’t even remember who’s on his side.
I’m surprised he didn’t accuse her of raping children.
It’s nothing but projection from this waste of oxygen.
Sad thing is that he’s such a moron and a narcissist that he probably actually believes this.
It’s DARVO

Offender
I honestly just don’t believe he’s that intelligent
He’s just gifted that way
I guess he’s been living that his whole life. Would make sense that it’s the thing he’d fall back on as his brain is starting to rot.
It doesn’t take much intelligence to act on. It’s literally just “Nuh uh, you are” - the default retort of children everywhere.
Why would people who were successfully charged for breaking laws and actively participated in an insurrection deserve compensation or reparations as his reps have called it? He knows there’s no excuse and he couldn’t recall the talking point he was told so he loses patience and goes with typical attack he always uses.
This is cognitive decline. He can’t cognate well enough to respond coherently so he lashes out with anger. If you’ve ever taken care of relative with dementia is any stage, you see this often in various ways. It’s scary having a man in this state of cognitive decline in a position with so much unchecked power.
As a parent, it’s tough to restrain a child. I understand her frustration.
Kristin was probably like, my toddler acts better than this.
