Donald Trump storms out of interview after ranting about ‘crooked, one-sided press’ (video)

Donald Trump ripped off his microphone and stormed out of an interview after being asked about his election claims. 

.....

The US President was granting an interview to NBC’s Kristen Welker on Meet the Press when she asked him about claims he made that the recent delayed California election results were “rigged”. 

Trump replied: “The elections are 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. 

“You are one-sided crooked networks…let’s call it quits. I’ve had enough. Thank you darling have a good time.” 

Ms Welker asked him to stay, saying she had travelled “all the way” to Wisconsin for the interview. 

Trump hit back: “I’ve sat in the rain with you for an hour! I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press. 

“You know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press. Let’s GO.” 

He then storms off. 

Trump also made exaggerated claims during the wide-ranging interview that he had wiped out Iran’s forces leaving them with “nothing”. 

He claimed major arms of the Iranian military were “gone” as a result of the current war. 

“Their navy is gone. Their air force is gone. Their anti-aircraft is gone,” Trump said. 

He said at another point in the interview: “In three months, I’ve demolished the navy, the air force, anti-aircraft. They have no radar. They have nothing.” 

But NBC analysis shows around half of Iran’s unconventional navy remains intact after weeks of bombing. 

Ms Welker also pressed Trump on his campaign pledge not to start any new wars. 

“I didn’t guarantee no war. Why would I have built the strongest military in the world?” Trump said. “I built our military.” 

But Trump promised while campaigning in Pennsylvania in 2024: “I will not send you to fight and di£ in stupid foreign wars that never end. 

“I will not send our sons and daughters to go fight for a war in a country that you’ve never heard of. We’re not going to do it. We’re going to bring our troops home, and we’re going to focus on America First.” 

And in his November 2024 victory speech, Trump said: “I’m not going to start a war. I’m going to stop wars.”
