It is becoming increasingly clear that Donald Trump has little interest in discussing actual policy. At this point, his administration is losing court battle after court battle, and many of his major strategic decisions are falling apart. His polling is awful. So rather than defend those failures, Trump keeps returning to the same conspiracy theories and recycled talking points to drive the narrative.
The best thing the press can do is stop treating every statement as if it deserves serious consideration. When he says dumb shit like he always says, don't even address it like treat it like you would a child...just say "that's nice" and then get onto more pressing business. Or better yet just stop feeding his ego. It is a waste of time trying to decipher some grand strategy behind everything Trump says or does. More often than not, the answer is far simpler: he’s trying to distract from the fact that his policies and decisions are failing. And therefore putting him on is a waste of time because he's just gonna pedal distractions.
🚨 BREAKING: Trump has a complete MELTDOWN on Meet the Press.
Kristen Welker presses him on his wild California election conspiracies. Trump calls her “crooked” and “stupid,” calls the press crooked, calls Meet the Press crooked, and throws a tantrum about how unfair everything is.
Then he dramatically storms out mid-interview like a toddler who lost at recess.
Classic Trump: zero answers, all insults, instant exit.
Thank you, Kristen Welker — this is how you handle him. 🔥
