🚨 OMG. President Trump CUTS OFF and WALKS OUT of a Kristen Welker interview

He looks her in the eyes and tells her SHE'S A LIAR, then storms off!

"The elections are like a 3rd world country. YOU'RE CROOKED...let's call it QUITS. I've HAD ENOUGH."

WELKER: Please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin!

TRUMP: "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."

WELKER: *Whines*

BEST PRESIDENT EVER 🔥🔥🔥

Ready for one of the most disturbing marketing campaigns you’ve ever seen? @HelloFresh wants you to know that they have food for you to prepare your colon for receiving anal sex during Pride Month. Yes, this is real. No sane person should use this insane company.

Bought a $1,742.80 camera online from BestBuy.

The FedEx delivery driver stole it. FedEx admitted it.

But BestBuy won’t give a refund. They said we need to “work with local law enforcement.”

Thought everyone should know if you buy from @BestBuy and a @FedEx driver steals what you paid for, your money is gone. Neither company will make it right.

I’ve spent over $30K at BestBuy and will never spend another penny there.

Turns out that @LeaderJohnThune was totally projecting when he said the SAVE Act was an influencer campaign.

Senator John Thune is compromised by a company that literally exists to sell access to himself.

Pass it on.

Hello, Mr. Desiderio,

Punchbowl News sells access to Capitol Hill for corporate clients. Their senior Senate reporter is you, Andrew Desiderio.

Here's how the access works: Punchbowl has a weekly show called "Fly Out Day," taped at the Punchbowl News Townhouse and described on their own site as an "exclusive first look" for Premium subscribers. Those Premium subscribers are the K Street corporate government affairs staff and trade association officials whose legislative interests depend on what Senate leadership decides to schedule… or kill.

The second-ever guest was Senate Majority Leader John Thune, on September 11, 2025. This is documented in your own webste.

Now let’s go over your post carefully.

You say Mike Lee "primed the GOP base to believe" something. That’s manipulative framing, the language of a man working a crowd. But Thune "pointed out" something. That’s the language of a man correcting the record, establishing fact.

This is not a one-off phrasing choice on your part.

Your Punchbowl coverage consistently frames Thune's positions as institutional reality and conservative alternatives as base management. Thune "declared" that the talking filibuster is dead. Lee and his allies "captivated Trump's base." Thune "had enough." The SAVE Act push is "a self-inflicted wound." These are not neutral verbs. They are a point of view… and it's Thune's point of view, delivered with a byline.

There's a structural reason this happens.

Jake Sherman described Punchbowl's business model in his own words on The Rebooting podcast (January 2022): nearly 90% of the outlet's revenue comes from corporate sponsorships… "trade groups and companies looking to get their public affairs messaging in front of those making public policy." The sponsors documented at Punchbowl include PhRMA, ExxonMobil, Chevron, Facebook, JPMorgan, Blackstone, the American Investment Council (private equity lobby), and others.

These sponsors need the goodwill of the Senate Majority Leader, who controls which of their legislative priorities come to the floor. Thune controls the floor. Thune sits in Punchbowl's townhouse. You reports Thune's framing as conventional wisdom.

When Desiderio writes that the talking filibuster "will ultimately fail" ... not might fail, not Thune argues it will fail, but when it ultimately fails ... is that journalism? Or is it the view from Thune's Fly Out Day chair?

You are busted, Mr. Desiderio.

@ByronYork One of the reasons why trust in media is so low is because many legacy journalists are completely out of touch.

You could not get away with that behavior at any run of the mill job. It is revealing to see how blind some are to that.

[Buck Sexton @BuckSexton]

Most democrats don't love America. Their identity is built on the delusion that they're better than America. Which is why they hate our history and want to fundamentally transform this country into something else.

Mail-ins arriving before Election Day:
🔵 Bass: 38.1%
🔴 Pratt: 27.9%
🔵 Raman: 20%

Mail-ins arriving after Election Day:
🔵 Raman: 37% (+17% surge)
🔵 Bass: 34.9% (-3% drop)
🔴 Pratt: 19% (-9% drop)

Who are we kidding here? This is fraud.

BREAKING: Dozens of Christians were massacred in Ethiopia over the course of the last week by Islamists.

Tens of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa, and the world doesn’t seem to care.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. President Trump just went berserk on the ELECTION FRAUD in California to Kristen Welker's face, and she melted down

"They're CROOKED just like YOU'RE CROOKED! You're either CROOKED or you're STUPID. You KNOW these elections are rigged." 🔥

"They're dropping fast because it's a RIGGED ELECTION! It's DAYS and they aren't even CLOSE. They're CHEATING on the election!"

WELKER: Do you have evidence?!

TRUMP: You just have to look! Do YOU think it's appropriate they have an election, five days+ they're nowhere CLOSE!

WELKER: They're slow

TRUMP: "No THEY'RE CROOKED! Just like you're crooked, the press is crooked and Meet the Press is crooked!"

"You play right into their hands with this crap. You know that these elections are rigged. Your network knows that they're rigged. You know that I won an election in a landslide. And I got 94% bad press. You know why I got that? Because you have no credibility."

BOOM!!!

🚨Trump Goes SCORCHED EARTH on California’s Elections, then WALKS OFF Interview Leaving Kristen Welker HUMILIATED

“It was a dirty election and it’s happening again in California… Do you think it's appropriate that they have an election and five days later they're nowhere close to picking a winner!? They're crooked — just like you're crooked.”

“I’ve given you enough time”

*Walks off*

Welker: “We travelled all the way to Wisconsin for this interview”

*Blames the rain*

[Open Source Intel @Osint613]

Oh Wow.

Trump ended an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker mid-conversation in Wisconsin, calling her a liar to her face before walking off.

Trump: "The elections are like a 3rd world country. You're Crooked...let's call it Quits . I've had enough."

Welker asked him to stay, saying she had traveled to Wisconsin for the sit-down.

Trump: "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."

@joeroganhq For all the people claiming I’m lying….

[DuPage GOP @DuPageCountyGOP]

Please stop with the “we’d rather let them go then bailout billionaires” nonsense. Indiana has a dramatically lower tax rate - at all levels - than does Illinois. Is there someone out there who honestly believes Illinois looks out for its taxpayers more than Indiana does?

The tax break sought by the Bears in Illinois would not be so obscene if our general tax burden itself wasn’t so obscene. Our tax burden - coupled with a completely dysfunctional and anti business state government to work with - drives many businesses out of Illinois. The Bears are just the latest and most jarring to see leave.

There are growing calls for British men to be allowed to carry Enfield rifles as culturally significant symbols in response to Sikh kirpans.

“If Sikhs can carry around a knife because it’s ‘culturally significant,’ then British men should be allowed to carry an Enfield rifle.”

The reason ID is banned in California (and New York) elections is to enable large-scale fraud.

When you combine no ID and mail-in voting, fraud is de facto legalized.

Meet Kaylynn Dang, a DoorDash driver in Michigan. In a video she posted, Dang is seen laughing while announcing that the customers will not be receiving their delivery after spotting an Israeli flag in their front yard.

[Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes]

Here we go, the Los Angeles Times is admitting that yes, tens of thousands of mail in ballots did get processed for only Mayor Karen Bass and Nithya Raman but it was “a glitch”

They say the system just “glitched” for a minute and didn’t process any ballots for Spencer Pratt but really there were ballots for Spencer, they just didn’t get processed during the “glitch”

No, we don’t believe you. This is fraud and Democrats are cheating

“It was the result of a lag in an automated collection of the data in which there was one data collection that captured votes in a single batch of votes for Bass and Raman, and then about 1 minute later, the collection of the rest of that same batch of votes — Folks I spoke to also said there is no fraud. But again, there was no batch of votes without any Pratt votes. There was sort of a 1-minute variation between the upload of Bass and Raman votes and Pratt votes on some media websites.

Officials and others who have reviewed the data say that is not any proof of fraud. There was no fraud.”

Again, yeah right. We need a federal audit into California elections

Who is making them do this?
