Trump throws the "mic" and ends a TV interview after a verbal altercation with a female anchor
US President Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC , after a heated argument with anchor Kristen Welker about his allegations of election fraud and the role of the media.
During the interview that aired Sunday on the "Meet the Press" program, Trump reiterated his accusations that former President Joe Biden's administration has imprisoned people who "did nothing wrong," saying he had "ample evidence" of it.
When Welker pointed out that this evidence was not presented in court, Trump again questioned the results of the 2020 election, alleging fraud and also talking about "irregularities" in the ongoing election in California. When the anchor asked him to provide concrete evidence, Trump and her media network accused her of "lack of integrity" and bias, arguing that the media was ignoring what he called "fraud."
Welker responded that she was not "corrupt" and called on him to continue the conversation, but Trump continued to criticize the network before announcing the end of the interview, saying he had "had enough." Despite the host's attempts to persuade him to continue, Trump left the interview after attacking the media's performance, saying that the United States "cannot be a great country with dishonest journalism."
After the interview aired, Welker said she later spoke with Trump and that he agreed to a new interview at a later time, without specifying a date or venue.
Trump describes himself as the greatest president in history
Trump said on Saturday that he was considering being a major star at a rally in Washington for the 250th anniversary of the United States' independence, stressing that he could attract more audiences than Elvis Presley.
The concerts were scheduled to begin on June 25 as part of an event that will last until July 4, organized by Freedom 250 at the Trump-backed National Mall.
"I understand that artists are nervous and anxious" about performances, Trump said in a post on his platform Truth Social the day after artists announced their withdrawal after three of the seven artists withdrew.
Trump makes incomprehensible remarks
"So I'm thinking of adding the number one attraction anywhere in the world, a guy who has a lot more fans than Elvis at his peak of fame... And the man who some say is the greatest president in history (the greatest of all time!)Donald J. Trump, to replace these high-paid third-rate artists."
He said he had instructed his aides to assess "the feasibility of holding the 'America is back, Wednesday' rally," stressing that he would give a speech "to move the country forward as it has done since I became president!", according to his words.
"We need to have a huge 'Make America Great Again' event for the 250th anniversary, instead of having high-paid singers who no one wants to hear them, whose music is boring and they do nothing but complain," he said.
The Republican president did not specify which Wednesday he intended, nor did he specify the events that his gathering would be an alternative to.
