Add ARY News on Google AAResize US President Donald Trump ended an interview with NBC after getting into a heated argument with the show host Kristen Welker.
On June 7, Sunday, during the interview with Meet The Press, the president claimed both the current primary elections in California and the 2020 presidential election were “rigged”. When pressed for evidence on California’s vote by Welker, he said, “All I have to do is look, and I listen.”
After the presenter replied “that’s not evidence”, Trump accused the media of being “crooked”, before ending the interview: “Sorry, let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough.” The president has had a fraught relationship with traditional media outlets, often accusing them of bias against him.
