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.
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?’
Wut. 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
It’s her job to antagonise? You’re not very smart huh
