What&#8217;s truly amazing is that anyone views him as anything other than the whiny toddler that he personifies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SEE THIS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=43090\" target=\"_blank\">Victim-in-Chief: Trump is the most Cowardly, Whining, Crybaby to Ever Be President<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday morning Trump proved once again that he doesn&#8217;t have the courage to stand up to even the most mild dissent. He was interviewed by Kristen Welker on Meet the Press (video below), and he spent the whole time complaining, interrupting, insulting, and of course, lying. The interview was a monumental waste of time for anyone seeking something newsworthy. But for those who just wanted some more proof of how utterly unfit Trump is for any office of leadership, it was a bonanza of examples of his mental impairment and emotional instability.<\/p>\n<p>Leading off, Welker brought up Trump&#8217;s <em>&#8220;weaponization&#8221;<\/em> slush fund to reward violent January 6th StormTrumpers. There was such broad agreement that the fund was illegal and immoral that Trump&#8217;s acting Attorney Genuflect, Todd Blanche, had already told Congress that he wouldn&#8217;t be implementing it. However, his reputation is so tainted that nobody believes him. So Welker asked Trump&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Are you backing off the fund completely as your acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has said, or are you looking for another avenue to revive the fund?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Trump dodged the question to <em>&#8220;explain&#8221;<\/em> the purpose of the slush fund, which no one asked him. He said that it was compensation for people who had been <em>&#8220;hurt so badly by the radical left lunatics that worked for the Biden administration.&#8221;<\/em> He eventually got around to an answer saying <em>&#8220;Personally, I think the weaponization fund is a great idea&#8230;you have to get it approved.&#8221;<\/em> Then he rambled some more, asserting that he wouldn&#8217;t rule out giving taxpayer money to convicted rioters who assaulted police officers. Just what taxpayers want.<\/p>\n<p>Then Trump assumed the role of the rioters&#8217; defense lawyer, arguing that they had been framed by <em>&#8220;dirty cops&#8221;<\/em> and FBI agents. When Welker replied that there is no evidence of that, Trump told her to <em>&#8220;look at the tapes,&#8221;<\/em> Which everyone has done many times and found nothing that exonerated the rioters. Welker noted that many of the rioters had pleaded guilty. So Trump claimed that they were bullied into doing so. Again, it was a claim with no evidence. So next Trump began insulting Welker personally. He said that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;People like you, the fake dirty press &#8211; people like stupid Biden, he&#8217;s not smart enough to know what&#8217;s going on &#8211; they destroyed people. They sent people to jail who did nothing wrong.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Welker again noted that there was no evidence of that. To which Trump delusionally replied <em>&#8220;There\u2019s a lot of evidence. Listen to me. There\u2019s tremendous evidence. There\u2019s nothing but evidence.&#8221;<\/em> Welker then noted that <em>&#8220;It\u2019s not been presented in a court of a law.&#8221;<\/em> In fact, every case associated with January 6th rioters produced nothing but confirmation of their guilt. Not a single one was acquitted or any conviction overturned on appeal. Pitifully lost, Trump then jumped to a completely different subject, saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The election was rigged. It was a dirty election. And it\u2019s happening again right now in California&#8230;They&#8217;re cheating on the election.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Again Welker asks him if he has any evidence of that. His reply is that <em>&#8220;All you have to do is look.&#8221;<\/em> At what? Trump&#8217;s answer, of course, isn&#8217;t evidence. He continued with a childish retort saying that <em>&#8220;You\u2019re crooked, and Meet the Press is crooked, and so is ABC, and CBS, and CNN.&#8221;<\/em> And just to make sure that she understood, he added that <em>&#8220;You&#8217;re either crooked, or you&#8217;re stupid.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Trump then cut off the interview saying <em>&#8220;Sorry. Let\u2019s call it quits because I\u2019ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.&#8221;<\/em> That was Trump&#8217;s way of fleeing danger, because he saw that Welker wasn&#8217;t going to allow him to get away with his standard bullshittery. And he threw in a bit of misogynistic hate-speech for fun.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone watching this with an open mind can see that Trump is scared and desperate to find a way out of this torment. But the only thing he can think of is to scamper off to the safety that his staff of devoted cult disciples provides.<\/p>\n<p>The entire morning achieved nothing for Trump. But it did give his critics more proof of his acutely damaged psyche. The best that Trump can take away from this is that at least he didn&#8217;t fall asleep during the interview.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed-x\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here&#39;s the full chain of events that led to Trump storming out of his interview with Kristin Welker, beginning with her pressing him on the weaponization fund, continuing with her pointing out the baselessness of his &quot;rigged election&quot; lies, and concluding with him calling her\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/p8frVtICTt\">pic.twitter.com\/p8frVtICTt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/atrupar\/status\/2063635557108928819?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 7, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p><strong>RELATED STORIES:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70084\" target=\"_blank\">RURAL REVOLT: Will Trump Lash Out At the \u2018Radical Left Lunatic\u2019 Rural Voters Who Now Hate Him?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=70074\" target=\"_blank\">HUH?
