Trump walks out of Meet the Press interview with Kristen Welker
President Donald Trump walked off NBC's Meet the Press during an interview with host Kristen Welker after she pressed him on his claims that the 2020 presidential election and California's recent governor race were "rigged." Welker asked for evidence supporting those allegations, and the taped interview ended abruptly without Trump producing documentation or answering follow-up questions. The exchange matters because it denied viewers a direct on-air response to the president's contested election claims and highlighted escalating tensions between Trump and national news anchors in an election year.
"Meet The Press" host Accused of Blatant 'Journalism' After Confronting Trump On His Ridiculous Election Lies.
This was a brave interview from Kristen Welker. More like this please.
She was far more patient with him than I would’ve been. It’s infuriating that “reporters” allow him to lie, gaslight, and obfuscate. If they all walked out on the interview when he started screaming or name-calling, he would stop. He needs their attention more than they need him.
How dare they do Blatant Journalism... on a program with a journalist...🙄 It's like doing Scientific Research by researchers, or Medical Science by professors.. Outrageous!!
She's awesome. He's a demented old a$$hole. Everyone can see it, whether they admit it or not.
he's getting worse, it's just ridiculous
The world needs more Blatant Journalists
She did a brilliant job, should be proud of her confronting that bully. There should b more journalists doing the same, and we the public should be supporting them
#TrumpDerangement in living color brought to you by @nbcnews.com
Dictators don’t like to be called out for their actions or crimes or corruption. Just their made up accomplishments. WHAT A BUNCH OF 💩
Why go to Meet the Press of he cannot meet the press?
First things I'd ask Trump> 1. Was Jeffrey Epstein your very best friend? 2. Are you a pedophile? 3. Is ICE a secret police force? 4. Does Israel and Putin have the dirt on you? ......and so on
A journalist accused of doing journalism? The insanity! Aren't they just supposed to nod sagely in the face of rank stupidity and lies?! /s
The heroes will be remembered
No one will ever accuse Trump of being blatantly presidential.
Yes because actual valid Jounalism and a free press is not allowed now. Fourth Reich
This is what INSANITY looks like: Bullying buffoon Trump loses his fucking mind and walks out of a softball interview with Meet the Press host Kristen Welker. Because he's so insecure and psychologically fragile, the sick fuck thinks every election he loses must be "rigged."
California election results are faster than the release of Epstein Files 🤷🏻♂️
He went off the rails and he looks like shit which I’m happy about.
I long for the moment when a reporter ends the interview after Donnie’s insults and walks out on him.
It absolutely mystifies me how MAGA believes that every election they lose must be rigged, and every election they win is beyond perfect. Every flaw we point out is "stupid" or "lunatic fringe left-wing". There are no facts anymore - it's what they say or nothing. If a Dem did this, is that OK?
The bar has been set so fucking low for journalism in this country, that simply making the statement “you haven’t given evidence” creates this response from him. It’s fucking nuts. .
such a vulgar, loathsome, vile, cowardly, pathetic weakling and this nation elected him twice
And yet millions of Americans still support him 💩🇺🇸💩
My God. Get this lunatic out of our lives.
Don the Chump....IS A RAVING LUNATIC‼️🤬
Thinks he can bully her into crying, walking out, when she doesn’t he can’t deal. Says a LOT about HIS life experiences. This is who he is.
God I love her. Journalism ISNT DEAD YET!
Mail-in ballots + big state = slow count. Not a conspiracy. Proof of voting, just like in Oregon and other states with mail/dropbox voting.
Bill,what a petulant man-baby he is.
The senile crackpot neighbour is now the president.
He looks so fucking ridiculous. He tries to physically intimidate women but he just looks like a withered bullfrog in a bad wig. He must fucking hate that the most lol
It’s the Cohen mantra, say it three times and it must be true. con man teaching a con man.
The press barely pushes back.
I wish she hadn't said that about "all the way to Wisconsin " like it's the end of the earth (although obviously moving the whole team is a pain in the neck and interferes with family obligations). What agreements had they made? Trump interrupts
when things get difficult he walks away
Run fukface run! Lol. All reporters need to confront him exactly like this.
He barely got up on his own. He looked like my mom after her knee replacement.
He has always created his own reality. He is delusional.
You can tell he's lying--he's doing that accordion thing with his hands.
Ffs California is huge. You can’t just check everything is accurate in a day. He just wants to screw up the governor race
Trump is scared of elections.
I suspect the reason he blew up and left, was because he couldn’t remember his talking points. She called him out on promising start no wars, and he started spiraling. He was flying blind and realized she had a firmer grasp of facts and things he had said than he did. The blow up was defensive.
He “says” they’re rigged. It doesn’t mean he “thinks” they’re rigged.
He’s a horrible POS. I will never forgive anyone that voted for this buffoon
I know it's easy to criticize, because none of us really know how we would react to being screamed at by the President of the United States. Having said that, I wish she had just kept on asking over and over, "where is your evidence?"
She missed her chance, she's pathetic
setting the stage for the midterms. We know he's never won an election in his life. And deep down, he knows it too. This sure is a slow death though, I'll give it that.
This scumbag is the biggest POS that ever existed.
Trump can only win running against a woman. I bet that fucks his head up.
Psycho baby man throws an outright tantrum. This psycho, for the sake of the country and the world, has got to go–along with with all of his degenerate enablers
How to talk to the bully Trump re: election fraud: Journalists should present the fact that 99% of Americans take responsibility for one vote per one eligible voter. Elections are something America gets right and the President should express pride instead of disdain for our electoral process.
Don’t fucking touch her you POS!
This is a CLASSIC symptom of #Dementia.
He cannot deal with his reality of failure. His first term was the worst in US history. He was fired. Term 2 proving to be worse than 1 and we aren’t even half way through 🥺 These are THE FACTS 👇🏻
Almost every other candidate, R D or other, has accepted their defeats, before and after this idiot. He’s the ONLY candidate who “lost” in a “rigged” election. Whaa Whaa Whaa.
I admit I experienced some schadenfreude watching him publicly decompensate. The clock is seriously ticking for this motherfucker.
colicky piss-baby Donny tried to storm off the set of Meet the Press, but the clumsy oaf tripped over his own feet, stumbled, and had to grab at Kristen Welker to remain upright. what a fucking idiot. I've got the video in today's post, thank you for your attention. link is here: bit.ly/4aD1Hxp
(and as always, there's a much longer except in the alt text)
🤣🤣🤣🤣 You know he hated it. I love that for him.
I love all posts by @jefftiedrich.bsky.social !!!
I saw that stumble- he was in pain when he got up- whatever it was, he grimaced and tried to straighten up but could not. Watch the video carefully. It's almost as if he had some type of medical appliance under his clothing...
Over the weekend, NBC’s Kristen Welker aggressively confronted Trump’s lies about election fraud. Good. But a more impactful step would be for the network to declare that it wants no further interviews with Trump because he lies so much.
This might be his first MTP walk-off, but find me an interview when Trump hasn't attacked Welker. Still, the show re-books him time and time again. Even now she says she's asked Trump to come back for another interview...
I thought she did a pretty weak job actually, this is how low the bar is now sadly.
Exactly. Trump preemptively "offered" another interview to Welker, after insulting her and virtually every other actual journalist. Why accept?
She should have walked out on him.
Make that all respectable networks.
Welker started with a sane washing statement "I want to start out talking about the major issue you are focused on every day, Iran". Everyone in the world knows that is not true. Trump said he's bored. It's good she confronted him on election lies, but yikes, so many lies got spewed w no pushback.
They should sue Trump like he sues them. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/06/when...
That's a good point but it might have more impact if there's more push back from interviewers inducing more tantrums like this. I'm dying to see the interaction "You're a crook!.... you're a convicted felon." >>>
Maybe she wants to atone for her obsequious "reporting" that's been sane washing the rapist for the past decade.
When he became openly hostile and escalated, the network should have stepped in and ended that interview and had him removed. Following that, an immediate release of the questions with the fact check. And it should have played on a loop. The network should have had the control, not trump. IMHO
When people show you who they are believe them. We need no additional confirmation that the president is a homemade liar.
Exactly. Why give a liar and a cheat a platform to lie and cheat?
Exactly right. Don’t give him the platform.
Not just that he lies, he is always abusive to women, when confronted for his lies. He never acts that way when confronted by any of the male journalists.
There should have been a partition between her and Donald. If the cameras weren’t on, he definitely would have lunged across at her. Women have had to deal with abuse forever; it is something to see in broad daylight, for all to witness, and know that he’s STILL the U.S. President.
He’s just a pathetic liar. The orange makeup is also caked on to a degree previously unseen. He looked like Ronald McDonald.
True. Every time they allow him on it gives him a free advertisement to confuse people, which is his goal.
Watch Trump completely crash out on NBC’s Meet the Press when Kristen Welker presses him about his false claims. He starts yelling about “fake” News, turns bright red, gets visibly agitated, then abruptly gets up and walks off. #USDemocracy #Pinks
For someone who claims he’s always in control, this looked like a full meltdown on national TV. 👀🍿
If the media keeps pushing him maybe he'll stroke out.
Someone should tell the Ellison's that all that groveling, kneeling, bootlicking and a$$licking has been for nothing. 🥲
“There’s more evidence than ever presented.” 🤪 …in the entire history of the world?!?
He’s hysterical, unhinged & overly emotional. His lack of self control & decorum is on full display. He is unfit for any public office.
Good job Lady. This piece of DNA shit is the worst, but emotions can push to the limits. Women please continue to fight like this and make him emotional to a point he breaks down more often. Don't Be Quiet...Ladies. 🙏
he's a fucking clown, a lowlife, demented asshole
Trump can’t handle the TRUTH!
What a gutless coward. It’s pathetic that this spineless slug managed to con tens of millions of people into thinking he was some kind of tough man. Ask him one question he doesn’t like and he has a tantrum. He’s a toddler.
Trump has red face like a devil.
Kristen Welker was fantastic here - didn't budge, didn't let him get away with anything, pushed back hard on all his lies. Fantastic to see! Thank Dog for strong women journalists!
And Welker is going to give the toddler a do-over. Pathetic.
Headed for the sea of porta-potties!
The way he struggled to get up and begin moving looks like he is not well. Explains why so much of his speaking has been seated from the Oval Office. Jesus. He reminded me of someone after surgery or a major illness.
Trump hobbled off hunched over after taking a swipe at Kristen's shoulder?.. Trump's administration lost over 60 election cases that they filed against the 2020 elections and no amount of temper tantrums and talking over Kristen loudly changes that fact..
Well, he did abruptly get up... but, he seemed to struggle to do it.
Trump is completely unhinged & unwell. His lies have finally caught up with him. I hope he strokes out.
I’m sure Kristen Welker saw it as feather in her cap that Trump never walked off an interview w/her--probably bragged about it. (It’s because she rarely pushed him to tell the truth or corrected him.) Well, her streak ended and it was pathetic seeing her beg him to stay or set up another interview.
"I traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview," she said three times as he got up and walked off. Get some integrity.
A real journalist would have ended the interview after the first lie.
100 facts. Im seeing so many people thank her for a job well done. Which is ridiculous. The woman has been worthless since she took over MTP and yes it was absolutely pathetic to see her beg him for more disrespect right to her face.
Would've been nice if she called him a LIAR instead of *there's no proof* ..... and then, of course, spit in his face Another failed opportunity for a #journalist
Mr. President, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin so you could insult me to my face, please don't leave. When will the "fake news" learn?
It was pathetic. I really don’t understand the pervasive universal cowardice amongst the press these days.
In the moment I can understand her pleading, but at the same time I’d be like buh bye and I’d pack up my stuff and leave, leaving him with diminished relevance
Why Dems Lose 101: Journalist completely wrecks Trump in an interview to the point he walks out. Dems then spend the next week explaining why she didn't do enough.
She was pathetic doing that. I concur.
There are no real journalists left.
🫖 Day 505 of Trump 2.0 – He couldn’t take the heat. He walked out on Kristen Welker on ‘Meet the Press’ after she fact-checked him. He relied on his old, tired playbook of insults and lies. Juxtaposed against her professionalism, he looked like a petulant child. #StayWoke #Pinks
Never forget what those terrorists did on Jan 6.
He is a petulant child , among other things.
He looked like the raving lunatic he is.
He always looks and acts like an imbecilic petulant toddler. He has for decades.
I’m proud of Kristen Welker for pushing past Trump’s dismissive distractions. If that makes her a pushy, nasty woman, I’m even prouder. She was being a professional representative of the “Fourth Estate!”
That's because he IS a petulant child.
Trump's oafish, irrational performance on "Meet the Press" once again raises the question of whether Trump is so delusional that he actually believes his own lies, or if he is so aware that everything he says is a lie that he has a toddler-worthy tantrum when he's caught out.
I watched the whole thing. There are two things that I think provoked genuine emotion in him. I don't know which of your alternatives it was, but it's worth noting genuine emotion. The two issues were: 1) Iran almost had a nuclear weapon. 2) The 2020 election was stolen.
Also interesting is the question of why Republicans who could remove him from power, or Democrats who could at least shout from the rooftops about his lunatic behavior, continue to stay silent.
An amazing interview on Meet The Press where Trump walks out after calling the interviewer stupid, her network crooked and all the other networks crooked, except of course FOX. He then takes off his mic and walks out.
Trump needs to be confronted more often. He lives in a bubble of sleazy Yes-men and has no idea how much he is despised !
He can't handle the truth, especially when it's served to him by someone he has no respect for (like female reporters).
One day, hopefully soon, when Americans look up the definition of the word “evil”, there will be a photo of Donald Trump and his die-hard MAGAts to clearly illustrate the meaning!
Fid it? just saw one clip and he basically said bad cops “ let them in”
Does he realize how petty and small this makes him look?
