We haven’t had a rant from Trump in a while, so this has good timing. This one is entertaining. He gets all huffy. He loses it over a simple question. It’s quite a question, but not for him. This is something simple. Well, it’s not simple for him, either. There is an event lurking under this one, and Trump hates, hates, hates it. Here we go! My compliments to Raw Story:
President Donald Trump abruptly ended his interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker that aired on Sunday after being pressed on his false claims that the 2020 election had been “rigged,” removing his microphone and leaving the set in a rage. “You’re a one-sided, crooked network!” Trump shouted at Welker after being told no evidence existed to support his false claims of widespread election fraud.
We know how Trump refuses to admit he lost. He even admitted once. He’s not the same man he was in 2020. He’s not even close. His charisma is fading. MAGA is fading. He strains to do the things he used to do without effort. He’s trying to change history. But in that regard, there are far too many of us who witnessed it. The younger people will also remember it so they can hold the torch of reason. He did lose. Overwhelmingly. He’s never going to admit it.
“Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough! Thank you, darling, have a good time!” Trump then removed what appears to be a microphone clipped on his suit jacket before Welker pleaded with him to finish the interview. “Mr. President, please, I traveled all the way to Wisconsin,” Welker said. “I’ve sat in the rain with you for an hour, on and off in the rain, and I’ve given you enough time!” Trump said. “You ought to straighten out your press! Come on, let’s go.”
Yowza. Kudos to Ms. Welker for holding herself together and trying to finish. But Trump was being a dick at that point, so she should have called it quits when he started with the lowkey raging. And kudos to her for bringing up 2020. We can assume he didn’t see that coming. For once, he wasn’t the one doing it. It actually was lowkey raging. Maybe his age is finally catching up to him, and he didn’t have the energy for anything more. It was even lowkey for attacking the network. We have seen that he is looking at his own mortality. But he’ll never, ever admit he lost in 2020. He can’t.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that, of all the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
You know who irrationally ripped the slow healing scab off his own self-influcted wound. The resulting antics were exemplified by his reptilian gymnastics on an event that never happened except in the echo chamber housef his reptilian skull. Bloody entertaining to watch the pathologic volatility that ensued, too.
How fitting and proper to have rain pounding on a tin roof during a Trump interview. If Wisconsinites didn’t like the rhetoric, they had to appreciate rain.
I actually miss the sound of rain on the roof. Before transferring to NC for my job I lived on a small farm in WV and looked after the place & the owner’s racehorses for ten years. I’ve had issues with insomnia for ages but on nights when a steady, substantial rain was falling but not an actual thunderstorm it was soothing. Hell, I’d try to stay awake even but couldn’t! Granted, the sound was more gentle and pleasing on the roof of the house than when I’d be out in one of the metal barns but even there it was a pleasing sound – at least when there was no thunder and lightening!
Watched. An hour I can’t get back. He did his usual projection onto Welker who and what he is. She didn’t accep any of it. They will get another interview. The rain was awful because it was a metal roof. Did 47 set that up????
