Meet the Press host shares Trump’s parting words after he stormed out of barn interview

  • President Trump abruptly ended a "Meet the Press" interview with Kristen Welker in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, after she pressed him for evidence of election fraud claims.
  • The tense exchange took place in a barn during heavy rainstorms that caused audio interruptions, and Trump became frustrated when questioned about California's vote counting and his claim that the election was "rigged."
  • Trump attacked Welker and major networks as "crooked," telling her she was "either crooked or you're stupid" before removing his microphone and walking out.
  • Welker also challenged Trump on foreign policy, asking if his strike on Iran contradicted his 2024 campaign pledge to avoid new wars, which Trump dismissed.
  • Afterward, Trump blamed his frustration on the loud rain, while Welker noted the weather complicated the interview but said they still had a substantial conversation.
