Thank you, @kwelkernbc, for pushing back on his blatantly false statements.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions. No one gets to choose their own facts.
To others who push back on his falsehoods, thank you.
To those still appeasing him for political or economic gain, it's not too late to find courage & change.
Donald had a temper tantrum on national television and walked out of an interview simply because Kristen Welker presented him with a basic fact.
Note to other journalists: now is the time to pile on. He won't be able to handle it.
Reminder: Trump was president during the election he says was rigged, and when Dems were in charge he won — which means either they really suck at rigging elections or he is full of shit. (Hint: it’s the latter)
One idea I really enjoy is that Democrats have an unbeatable vote rigging operation, but instead of just using it all the time, they sadistically employ it only after briefly giving Republicans hope
I wonder what would have happened if a lady stormed out of an interview with meet the press all because they couldn’t handle following questions about their little conspiracy theory?
It’s repetitive but still vital to say. There is NOTHING to Trump’s vote fraud assertions. There was nothing to them in 2016. Nothing in 2020. Nothing in 2024. Nothing in 2026. NOTHING AT ALL.
@afshineemrani@morgfair I’m curious if you’re also taking history re: number of known Covid infections your patients have had in the past? Younger patients experiencing serious and brand new heart issues are an alarming trend.
We’re really just gonna keep watching celebrities and regular people become seriously ill, disabled and die at young ages and say nothing to be done, can’t be all those covid infections, huh? That living with covid plan is going fucking great.
In the new interview, Trump told NBC that “I didn’t guarantee no war” and that “I didn’t promise anything.”
Not true.
There was often some nuance to his rhetoric on this subject. He repeatedly promised in 2024 to avoid “endless” wars or “world” wars (not specifically all wars) or boasted (without an explicit future promise) about not having started a new war in his first term. You can argue the nuance was lost on a lot of voters, or that boasting about not having started one is a de facto promise not to start one in the future, but the nuance frequently existed.
In other cases, though, he was categorical.
At an August 2024 rally in Pennsylvania, he promised, “Under Trump, we will have no more wars, no more disruptions, and we will have prosperity and peace for all.” That month in North Carolina, he pledged, “No more wars.”
And here’s what he said in two of his highest-profile speeches. In his July 2024 address accepting the GOP nomination, he said, “With our victory in November, the years of war, weakness, and chaos will be over. I don’t have wars.” In his November 2024 victory address, he said, “I'm not going to start a war. I'm going to stop wars.”
I certainly hope the highest levels @NBCNews@MeetThePress respond publicly and directly regarding the verbal abuse of @kwelkernbc in her interview with the President. It’s unacceptable.

Trump’s egregious (repeat) lie about Jan. 6 in the new NBC interview he walked out of: “They had FBI agents ushering them into the building. They had FBI: ‘Go into the building.’”
There’s precisely no evidence this happened. DOJ’s inspector general found that the FBI had zero undercover agents in the Capitol crowd. Kash Patel has himself debunked a Trump-promoted conspiracy theory on this subject, saying FBI agents were merely deployed to do crowd control after the police declared a riot.
And of the dozens of Jan. 6 defendants who tried a “the cops let me in” defense, just one (1) was acquitted. Even in that case, the acquitting judge said that though the defendant reasonably believed he was being allowed in, the officers in question were actually overrun by the crowd and standing back reasonably and responsibly, not explicitly encouraging anyone to enter. (And they weren’t FBI.)
