President Donald Trump reproached NBC&#8217;s Kristen Welker multiple times over the way she framed questions during an interview marking the first 100 days of his second term.
Welker faced blowback from Trump when the &#8220;Meet The Press&#8221; moderator pressed him about the trade war with China.
&#8220;Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa,&#8221; Trump said as Welker contended that prices were already going up on goods ranging from tires to strollers.
&#8220;This is such a dishonest interview already,&#8221; Trump said before he asserted that prices are down for groceries and energy as well as mortgage rates.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
Meet the Fake Press: &#8220;Prices are already going up&#8230;&#8221;<a href="https://twitter.com/POTUS?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@POTUS</a>: &#8220;This is such a dishonest interview already. Prices are down on groceries. Prices are down for oil. Prices are down for all energy. Prices are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/gy5dxQb39Q">pic.twitter.com/gy5dxQb39Q</a>

Another exchange centered on small businesses.
&#8220;Small businesses say they are being hurt by the Chinese tariffs and some could be forced to shut down &#8230;&#8221; Welker said.
&#8220;And many businesses are being helped!&#8221; Trump interjected.
They both spoke over each other for a few moments before Trump called out Welker.
&#8220;Why do you always mention — you know — you pick [out] a couple of little businesses. What about the car business? They&#8217;re going to make a fortune because of the tariffs,&#8221; Trump said.

Trump discussed how United Auto Workers President Shawn Fain was &#8220;no fan&#8221; of his, but has come around and voiced <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/07/nx-s1-5352409/trump-auto-tariffs-uaw-shawn-fain" target="_blank" rel="noopener">support</a> for the auto tariffs.
&#8220;So why don&#8217;t you mention the big car industry instead of mentioning somebody that&#8217;s doing strollers?&#8221; Trump said.
&#8220;Well, I&#8217;m just asking you about small businesses. Are there any discussions about giving any relief to small businesses?&#8221; Welker said.
&#8220;They&#8217;re not going to need it,&#8221; Trump replied. &#8220;They&#8217;re going to make so much money if you build your product here. Remember: there are no tariffs if you build your product here. It&#8217;s very easy. It&#8217;s very simple.&#8221;
Trump also confronted Welker when the journalist asked about authoritarianism.
&#8220;Let me ask you — big picture. People who have lived in countries like the Philippines, Hungary, Russia, they look at some of your actions — going after civil service, going after universities, law firms, the media — they say it&#8217;s out of an authoritarian playbook. What do you say to those who believe you are taking the country down an authoritarian path?&#8221; Welker asked.
&#8220;Well, there you go again,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you ask it a different way? Many people want to come into our country. Many people love Trump. I won the election. They didn&#8217;t win the election. I got a lot more votes than they did. I won the popular vote. I won all seven swing states by a lot. A lot of people were surprised. They said, &#8216;I think he could win four, maybe five.&#8217; No, I won all seven, and I won by a lot. And I won. Actually, I think there was a lot of hanky panky going on but it was too big to rig. That&#8217;s the good news. It&#8217;s too big to rig. But let me just say, so when you make these statements about, &#8216;People say this –,&#8217; well, they had their chance at the election and they lost big. So you should ask the question differently.&#8221;

Before Welker could pose another question, Trump kept going.
&#8220;You should say, &#8216;What about the people that want to be in this country? What about the people that love this country?'&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Okay. But what do you say to — I&#8217;m asking it on behalf of those people to give you a chance to respond to them. What do you say to those people, sir?&#8221; Welker asked.
&#8220;Those people are going to be very happy,&#8221; Trump replied. &#8220;They&#8217;re going to have to see some results. And I think we had a great 100 days. There are a lot of people that say it was unprecedented. It was an absolutely unprecedented 100 days. And I hope that they&#8217;re going to be right.&#8221;
