It’s never a smart move to try to school a man who occupies the most powerful position and has been incredibly successful in business for decades. A far-left NBC anchor learned this the hard way.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, Trump sat down for a one-on-one interview at Mar-a-Lago with NBC’s “Meet the Press” far-left host Kristen Welker. The interview, taped for Sunday, covered various topics focusing on Trump’s incredibly successful first 100 days in office.
With the cost of living on every American’s mind, Welker tried to insinuate that Trump’s economic policies were failing Americans, claiming he was responsible for prices rising on a select few items, as she ignored the larger picture.
“Prices are already going up on some popular items,” she alleged. “Tires, strollers…”
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!” Trump exclaimed. “This is such a dishonest interview already!”
Trump quickly listed other products whose prices are declining across the country, which have a greater impact on Americans’ lives than tires and strollers.
“Prices are down on groceries, prices are down on oil…Prices are down at tremendous numbers for gasoline,” he explained.
Trump then roasted Joe Biden for spending like “a stupid person” before revealing what “killed America” regarding inflation.
“He spent like a stupid person, which he was, that was bad for inflation,” he said. “But what really killed us with inflation was the price of energy.”
“It went up to $3.90, even $4.00,” Trump continued. “I have it down to $1.98 in many states!”
WATCH:
Kristen Welker is no match for Trump.
I think he does these to keep reminding America how dishonest the media is.

Trump continued to educate Welker on what is really happening with prices around the country, including mortgage rates, before she rudely interrupted.
“You say some prices are going down, some prices are going up,” Welker claimed. “Tires, strollers, some clothing, in the wake of your tariffs…”
“That’s peanuts compared to energy!” Trump fired back. “Energy is 60% of the cost!”
Welker then tried to imply that Trump had broken his campaign promise of bringing down costs while continuing to yammer about strollers before Trump corrected her again.
“Gasoline is thousands of times more important than a stroller,” Trump explained. “And they’re getting (relief). Even mortgage rates are going down despite the fact that we have a stubborn Fed.”
