Puffy, Bloated Trump Pitches Fit And Tells Kristen Welker She’d Be ‘Blown Up’ If He Hadn’t Attacked Iran

Looking like a swollen, puffed-up bullfrog with a bad wig, Donald Trump said Sunday during an interview with NBC News’ Kristen Welker that if he hadn’t attacked Iran, she’d be “blown up” and “there’ll be no more Kristen” in what can only be called one of the most nihilistic phrases ever uttered by an American head of state.

Appearing on Meet the Press, Trump began by trying to justify the seemingly endless Iran showdown.

“Remember, you were in Vietnam 19 years because stupid people, you were in so many different countries, every war you were in for years, look at Iraq!” he said. “You were there for years!”

And then the so-called “president” went to the dark side, telling Welker, “Listen, Kristen, we’re there for a few months and the threat is largely over – soon it will be over – but you cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon or they will blow you up. There will be no Kristen, there will be no NBC, there will be no ‘Meet the Press,’ you will end the ‘Meet the Press’ string.”

Minutes later, when the discussion turned to elections, Trump had a full-scale meltdown and ended the interview. Here’s how that went:

Welker: “Just to be very clear, there’s no evidence of what you’re saying.”

Trump: “There’s a lot of evidence. There’s tremendous evidence. There’s nothing but evidence. The election was rigged. And it’s happening again in California. They’re cheating.”

Welker: “Do you have evidence?”

Trump: “All I have to do is look.”

Welker: “That’s not evidence. The local officials acknowledge they are slow.”

Trump: “They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.”

Donnie’s childish temper tantrum drew plenty of online reaction.
