What happened during Donald Trump's interview meltdown?
Donald Trump just had a absolute meltdown during an interview with Kristen Welker of Meet the Press, and then he abruptly took off his microphone and ran away. He also touched Kristen Welker very awkwardly. Let me show you what just went down moments ago as she was asking some pretty basic questions about his catastrophic and unlawful war in Iran. The pressure was just too much for Donald Trump, and he ran away. Here, watch this.
Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later, they're nowhere close to picking the winner?
State and local officials acknowledge they are slow. They're urging.
No, they're crooked.
They're urging the votes to be counted quickly. That's how they vote in California.
They're crooked, just like you're crooked. Your press is crooked.
How did Trump respond to questions about the war in Iran?
And meet the press is crooked.
To be fair, I'm not crooked, but let's continue.
Really? Well, you play right into their hands.
Let's continue.
You're either crooked or you're stupid. Let's continue. You play right into their hands with this rap. You know... that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide, and I got 94% bad press. But, Mr. President, you've never presented evidence. You know why I got that? Because you have no credibility.
But you've never presented evidence that it was rigged. Let's keep talking about it. I want to talk about Todd Lynch.
You have more evidence. There's more evidence than ever presented. Your elections in this country, we're like a third-world country. Your elections are crooked, and you're crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked, and so is ABC and CBS and CNN. Your one-sided, crooked networks. Let's call it quits, because I've had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.
Mr. President, let's please... I traveled all the way to Wisconsin.
What accusations did Trump make about the integrity of the press?
I've sat in the rain with you. I know.
I've sat in the rain with you for an hour. On and off in the rain. and I've given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Come on, let's get it.
Listen, we traveled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview.
I mean, that's not the temperament of anybody who should be anywhere near a position of leadership. Just think about that. That's how he's behaving every day in the White House. That's why I keep saying he's panicking and he's running away. You saw it right there. Then Donald Trump gets angry because he felt that he was being interrupted with his microphone. Here, watch this. This took place before he ran away. Here, play this clip.
I was in Iowa, and the prices were $1.85 a gallon, $1.91 a gallon. What?
This time it wasn't the rain, but an audio issue that forced us to pause the interview again.
Then let me show you what went down right before Donald Trump stormed off. You can see how this meltdown developed. I mean, he is way too emotional to be in this position or anywhere near this position that he has. Here, play this clip.
What evidence does Trump provide for his claims about rigged elections?
Crooked press, people like stupid Biden. He's not smart enough to know what's going on, but people that surrounded him surrounded his beautiful, resolute desk in the Oval Office. What they did to the lives of people, they destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong.
Just to be very clear, there's no evidence of what you're saying, but let me ask you about Todd Blanche.
Listen to me, listen to me. Let's talk about this tremendous evidence. There's nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it's happening again right now in California.
You've never presented evidence that the 2020 election was rigged.
It's happening right now in California. Right now. Look at what's happening in California. Where's the evidence to that? It's four days. The Republicans are doing well in California. In California, it's, no, they're not. They're dropping fast because it's a rigged election. Let me tell you, it's four days and they aren't even close to coming up with it. That's how they cast the votes in California.
