Trump Cuts Interview Over Weaponization Fund

Trump abruptly ended his interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker after a fiery exchange over his proposed $1.8 billion “weaponization fund” to compensate those he claimed were targeted by the Biden administration. Defending the fund as necessary for victims of “radical left lunatics,” Trump dismissed Welker’s pushback about lack of evidence and doubled down on election fraud claims. He also attacked the media as “crooked” and “dishonest,” accusing them and Biden officials of destroying lives. Despite his acting AG signaling the fund wouldn’t move forward, Trump insisted it was a “great concept” and backed by many Republicans. When Welker pressed him on whether he was backing off, Trump cut the interview short, telling her to “straighten out your press” and declaring a nation can’t be great with a dishonest press.
