Welker: Trump Promised a Do-Over After Meet the Press Meltdown
TL;DR
NBC’s Kristen Welker told Vanity Fair that after Trump stormed out during Meet the Press, he privately said the rain disrupted the interview and that they’d redo it in Washington. The on-air tension included Trump calling Welker “crooked” and “stupid,” and his exit was followed by Welker noting a more conciliatory tone later. HuffPost says NBC and the White House have been asked about scheduling a second date, but no definitive date has been announced.
