President Donald Trump reportedly walked out of a weekend interview with NBC News anchor Kristen Welker — some of which aired during Sunday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;Meet the Press.&#8221;
The interview was recorded in Wisconsin on Friday, and NBC News anchor Gabe Gutierrez revealed during a broadcast on Saturday that Trump abruptly ended the interview — after giving Welker nearly an hour of his time — as the two clashed over her questions about election integrity.

&#8220;As for that interview, Kristen and the &#8216;Meet the Press&#8217; team conducted it here in Wisconsin inside a barn at the request of the White House,&#8221; Gutierrez explained. &#8220;There were multiple interruptions when rain repeatedly was hitting the metal roof of the barn. Following those challenges as well as a back and forth about election integrity where the president disagreed with the questions, President Trump ended the interview about 50 minutes after it began.&#8221;
Mediaite shared a <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/media/news/ive-had-enough-trump-storms-out-of-meet-the-press-interview-in-wild-fashion-explodes-on-nbcs-kristen-welker-after-she-hits-him-with-fact-checks/">transcript</a> of the exchange, giving some insight into what ultimately led to Trump&#8217;s exit — and how it played out on Friday.
Welker began by pressing Trump on the &#8220;anti-weaponization&#8221; fund and whether that might be used to give taxpayer money to people who were involved in the riot on Capitol Hill on January 6th.
&#8220;Do you think anyone who attacked police officers on January 6th should get taxpayer money?” Welker asked.
“I wouldn’t be inclined to say so, but I have to see it,” Trump said, then pivoted: “I can tell you this: 97% of those people, you look at them, the FBI or whoever it was, cause you had a lot of crooked cops, you had dirty cops. Comey was a dirty cop. A guy like Bolton was a dirty cop.”
“But there is no evidence that people who—” Welker protested.
“Wait a minute. You think Comey was a straight cop?&#8221; Trump asked.
The conversation continued in that vein until Trump drew a comparison to the election in California — where votes are still being counted from June 2 primary elections — and argued that it was &#8220;rigged.&#8221;
&#8220;It was a dirty election. And it’s happening again right now in California,&#8221; he said.
“Do you have evidence to support that?” Welker asked.
Trump: &#8220;All I have to do is look.&#8221;
“But that’s not evidence,” Welker pushed back.
Complaining about the fact that the state was still counting votes nearly a week later, Trump asserted, &#8220;They’re crooked just like you’re crooked, your press is crooked. And &#8216;Meet the Press&#8217; is crooked.&#8221;
Welker insisted that she was not crooked, prompting Trump to respond, &#8220;Really? Well, you play right into their hands then. You’re either crooked or you’re stupid.&#8221;

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump just went berserk on the ELECTION FRAUD in California to Kristen Welker&#8217;s face, and she melted down
&#8220;They&#8217;re CROOKED just like YOU&#8217;RE CROOKED! You&#8217;re either CROOKED or you&#8217;re STUPID. You KNOW these elections are rigged.&#8221; 🔥

The two continued to spar over that until Trump decided he&#8217;d had enough.
&#8220;You’re a one-sided crooked network. Sorry. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;Mr. President, let’s – please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin —&#8221; Welker protested.
&#8220;I’ve sat in the rain with you —&#8221; Trump said.
&#8220;I traveled all – I know. I traveled all the way —&#8221; Welker tried again.
&#8220;I sat in the rain with you for an hour &#8230; on and off in the rain, and I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what?&#8221;
&#8220;Mr. President —&#8221; Welker kept trying.
&#8220;A country can never be great with a dishonest press,&#8221; Trump declared, ending the interview.

🚨 OMG. President Trump CUTS OFF and WALKS OUT of a Kristen Welker interview
He looks her in the eyes and tells her SHE&#8217;S A LIAR, then storms off!
&#8220;The elections are like a 3rd world country. YOU&#8217;RE CROOKED&#8230;let&#8217;s call it QUITS. I&#8217;ve HAD ENOUGH.&#8221;
