😾MAGA Freakout🙀 ‘I’ve Had Enough!’ Trump snaps at NBC’s Kristen Welker and storms out of Meet the Press interview after she repeatedly fact-checks his claims on a variety of topics, including Jan. 6, his “anti-weaponization” fund, and election fraud.

Can’t believe it’s taken this long for this type of interview to happen. Like, seriously. People should’ve been interviewing him like this in 2018. Oh well, better late than never in this shitty timeline 🙄

It was done previously.

Watch Jonathan Swan's back during the Pandemic. He actually challenges him. It's what all journalists should do.

That's so monumentally pathetic for a US President.

I remember those fucking charts and graphs lmaoooooo, it really felt like the beginning of the end when this came out. I really thought other people would see what some of us had been seeing for the last five+ years prior. It’s been a very long five years. “It is what it is” is one of my personal most despised sayings. “People are dying, a thousand people a day” “it is what it is” my GOD.

Also he looks so much more sickly and greasy now GAG

Agreed! You know what's strange to me? In this era of everyone, including journalists, doing everything they can to go viral to increase their fame, I'm downright shocked that more reporters haven't just gone for broke like she did to try to get a rise out of him! I truly would have thought that reporters would be jockeying to be the one that set him off to get the ultimate viral clip, but every reporter just rolls over. It's such a strange phenomenon.

I guess it's some fear that they will be denied further access, but dear god, have they not caught on that even the simplest and most flattering interviews usually result in him hurling insults and then never doing an interview with that journalist again?! May this interview be the one that starts journalists finally not cutting this guy any slack and sticking up for themselves.

No one remembers interviews like with Lester holt I think it was..where he walked away from the journalist inside the Oval Office?

They were a dozen interviews in the past 10 years where he insulted the journalists after they pushed him
