What she should have said, in my fantasy of course, is, “Ok you lying chickenshit small-dicked adulterer. After you leave we are going to get a court order to have Ivana exhumed and find out why that coffin was so heavy and oh by the way, since I have some time to fill here, I’m going to read to the viewers the transcript of the deposition of that thirteen year old who accused you of assaulting her. So YOU have a nice day, DAR-ling”

Maybe that would bring on the stroke we are al hoping for.

I've not watched the clip and probably won't. My blood pressure is usually on the lower side and I like to keep it that way.

As Obama did, way back when.

very professional reply to the quivering pile of evil shite.

There are references on here about how KW "pleaded".

Mahalo, niyad.

It’s worth a listen. Watching him get red in the face and then storm out was priceless.

I rarely can stand to watch him, but I did watch this. She does, at least push back some. We need more of this because it's his Achilles' heel. He can't stand to be questioned on anything. Expects everyone to buy his lies hook, line and sinker. And by a woman?? Shock! He literally melted down.

Or that he will order his henchman blanche to indict them for nothing.

seems to. Again, I cannot stand even two seconds of his voice.

agree that her intonation sounded a bit pleading for my taste -- but making a request to continue an interview is generally called for -- and is often successful.

He knows his polls are in the dumpster and I'll bet $$ that he prepared to sabotage this interview. He had a well-rehearsed "crooked media" spiel at the ready and came loaded for bear. She was bushwhacked before she ever started.

and situations. When talking about the orange creature, nothing is even remotely sane.

when do you think welker realized she had been set up?

world leader like that. But this is his standard m.o. for interacting with women reporters.

Having intimidated the MSM into silence, Trump assumed he could spew his rigged election/Iran is not a war bullshit with zero pushback ..not only did Welker pushback, she talked over him, asking for proof…and that coming from a women is a Trump no-no…the more she asked for receipts the more agitated he became and his face went from yam orange to tomato red…I was kind hoping for a stroke but would have settled for the diapered clown falling on his face as he stormed out…

I’m not accusing you. Please understand.

It does sound ripe for the “coastal elite” and “fly over states” line of complaining.


He blamed NBC for the rain.

let alone . .gaspppp!!!. .challenge him.

That was good. Her whining undermined what came before.

some more"?

"But I came all the way here from Winsonsin". Repeated helplessly, it came across as weak and whining. It puffed Trump up even more.

Though she pushed back during the interview, that was weak too. She just kept repeating "you have no evidence" and was drowned out by him.

What happened to all the great journalists the U.S. once had, is this the best they've got?

I wonder if you’d be calling it whining if it were a man.

possesses not one atom of decency? One would have to be completely disconnected from reality to think that was even possible.

Those who used that term in the thread might find a better term in the future.

When the nesting in thread gets so deep, don’t be so sure you’re being addressed directly.

I’m sorry I inadvertently struck a nerve.

I feel the same way you do, I can't stand looking at or listening to that hideous cowardly fuck.

But that unflattering and unfair comment came from Aaron Rupar's Bluesky and Twitter post:

HE LOOKS LIKE A BASTED TURKEY

thread about that disgusting, but all-too-familiar, "interview". I would LOVE for one of those "news" programs to let Jeff Tiedrich interview him. THAT I would pay to watch, after giving my poor sensitive kitty heavy sedation!!! Anybody who reads his daily column knows exactly what I mean!

She challenged him big time and refused to move on. For that, I praise her.

As for her statement about traveling a long way for the interview—she was startled, for F’s sake! Why diminish her courage for such a petty thing?

Not to mention, his 300 pound massive blob of a body started falling on her! I thought she was composed, and kind.

This thread is the first place I've seen anything remotely negative about her.

professional, and that comment was not. She knows exactly what he is like.

An observation: It is a reporter's JOB to ask questions, to push back, to challenge lies. It should not need to be seen as some special act of courage. IT IS THEIR JOB. Sadly, most of what passes for reporters these days are NOT doing their jobs.

And the media has been failing for a long time now. But we live in proto-fascist times. Sometimes it takes courage to do the job. When a bubble of courage pops up from time to time, it should be praised, encouraging more journalists (hopefully, eventually) to do their job.

Anyway, that’s my cut on it.

(But my pov on how the major media operates has been “poisoned” ever since Chomsky’s and Herbert’s Manufacturing Consent was published.)

Sadly, having learned of chomsky's long-term connection to epstein, my view of him is tainted.

but yes the vast majority of them obey orders and take too much shit.
Sue his ass for touching you lady.

So many others are too chicken to stand up to him in a crowd of reporters.

I'm proud of her.

but groveling about how far she had traveled for the interview was wrong.
She should have said enough lies and walked out

and sadly she hasn't a clue she's being trolled so hard. In fact I doubt most people realize what's going on here with this.

Trump is trolling her and anyone who's against him.
How?
He looks very upset and very flustered, going off the rails with immature toxicity and personal insults. This is old 2015 Trump and he's doing it to completely feed his base with the finest meats available. He knows what fires up his fans and that's on full display in this interview. He literally told Welker the 2020 election was rigged and now so is the election in California. Tomorrow we'll wake up and what do you think will trending very high on every social media site out there? How Trump says the California elections are rigged.

Him going off on Welker is the "Macho Manifesto". He's never going to put up with any woman who dares ask him questions especially ones he sees as difficult to answer due to their deep rooted bullshit. So he goes off to not only change the narrative but to be the talk of the town and his fans? Oh they'll love this. They see it as King Cheeto fighting the system and the establishment, especially "that commie network NBC!" (yes, he has said that before.)

Everything is about Trump. EVERYTHING. He'll make anything and everything about him personally. This is who he is and it's who he's always been. He's trolling just to get attention and make his fans content and rabid as ever.

I can't listen to that thing, but I did see clips.

I don't believe this is 2015 Piggy, or that he's trolling her, or that he's even capable of trolling anyone. He is ill, he can't get up and can barely walk. His infantile narcissism is what controls him, he can never be wrong about anything, and can never admit his lies.

This interview is already everywhere. Nobody but MAGAts will believe his crap. I personally cannot care less what his cult thinks, or what feeds them. He isn't thinking of them during this interview. He's caught in lies and he knows it, that's why his face looks like a broiled lobster and why he almost falls trying to stand up. He's cornered and needs to run away.

I think you may be giving an old, sick, worn out narcissist too much credit.

It was pathetic.

Very weak.

She should have ended the interview long before he walked off

She did very well up to that point.

In other words, maybe she was giving him a chance to make a joke or something.

It backfired of course, and that made Kristen look weak, but nowhere near as weak as Chump looked. After this, I think his days of getting free TV time are just about over. Maybe Faux Noise will still have him on once in a while.

“Fuck you pedophile, bye-bye.”

Would have sufficed.

She was pleading with him and she embarrassed herself doing so. It was disgraceful.

OwnTrump attacks on women reporters are Project 2025 Divide and Conquer techniques.

The made dominated media has not stood up to Trump nor have the male reporters. We are on our own for now and we need to fight.

trying to evoke some sense of guilt in Trump for cutting it short was never going to work on him, because he literally lacks the ability to put himself in someone else's shoes.

But my usual reaction to anything like this is that she was a model of decorum and reason compared to TSF.

By asking him to stay and continue in a non threatening way like that. She just showed him to be more of a volatile ogre.

... I had to read the transcript, too. He's finally getting to get it: the end is imminent.

He'd exceeded his normal assholery by orders of magnitude - he looked like he wanted to hit her.

She was trying to get him to stay and finish the interview. She did nothing wrong at all.

She had a job to do, and was trying to do it.

I don't see the issue.

Trump is a professional asshole.

points for standing up to him more than most "journalists" have done

(Went to J-school back in the '70's, so I have a rather strong opinion of what journalism is supposed to be and so often isn't)
