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.

          I really don’t think most practitioners are. They are just crafty enough to know how to try to freeze their targets with this kind of tactic.

          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.
