Trump Storms Out of NBC Interview After Denying His Own “No War” Promises

Welker pressed Trump on election-fraud claims and a proposed $1.8 billion fund before he ended the taped NBC interview.

  • On Friday, President Donald Trump walked out of an NBC 'Meet The Press' interview with Kristen Welker after she repeatedly fact-checked his claims regarding the 2020 election.
  • Filmed on a Wisconsin farm, the interview turned tense as Welker pressed Trump on his proposed $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund and his continued, unsubstantiated claims that the 2020 election was rigged.
  • Trump accused the reporter of being 'crooked' and claimed FBI agents ushered rioters into the Capitol on Jan. 6, an allegation contradicting Justice Department inspector general reviews.
  • After calling NBC a 'one-sided crooked network,' Trump abruptly ended the taped session; Welker later spoke with him, and he reportedly agreed to a follow-up interview.
  • Jon Stewart criticized the exit on 'The Daily Show,' calling Trump an 'incredibly fragile man-baby,' while courts have repeatedly rejected Trump's legal challenges over 2020 and California election fraud claims.
