Trump storms out of interview with NBC News

Donald Trump abruptly ended an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker after being challenged on his false claims about the 2020 election and his efforts to reward political allies.
Trump advocated for Congress to pass nearly $1.8 billion for an "anti-weaponization fund" to compensate individuals prosecuted under the Biden administration, including those involved in the January 6 Capitol attack.
He expressed disappointment that the proposed fund, which he claimed would help those whose lives were "destroyed," had faced significant congressional and legal resistance, leading to the administration backing down.
Trump additionally threatened military force against Iran if a deal is not reached to secure its enriched uranium, while denying this would constitute an "endless war."
After clashing with Welker over his false assertions about voter fraud in 2020, which led to the January 6 attack on the Capitol and his own prosecution, the president snapped at the anchor: “Let's call it quits, because I've had enough. Thank you, darling.”
