Trump Storms Out Of ‘Crooked’ NBC News Interview
President Trump put NBC News anchor Kristen Welker in her place after she bullied the president during an interview that was taped in Wisconsin. Welker demanded that Trump address the 2020 presidential election — from six years ago.
“You’re a one-sided crooked network,” Trump fumed during the interview, which aired Sunday. “Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.”
