ANATOMY OF A TRUMP CRASH OUT: Donald Trump earlier gave one of the most unhinged interviews in presidential history, and then abruptly rage-quit it.
Here's what happened, step by step:
Step 1: The Setup
Trump opened by talking about "rigged elections" and then claimed California's election is currently being rigged as well. When NBC's Kristen Welker asked for evidence, he said, "All I have to do is look."
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
Step 2: The Meltdown Begins
Welker noted that state and local officials acknowledge vote counting simply takes time. Trump's response? Call her crooked. Call NBC crooked. Call ABC crooked. Call CBS crooked. Call CNN crooked.
Trump: They’re crooked. Just like you’re crooked. You’re either crooked or stupid.
Step 3: The "Logic"
Trump's actual argument for election fraud: ballots are still being counted several days after election day. That's it. That's the evidence. The same process that has existed for decades is now proof of a conspiracy. California law allows votes to be counted up to 7 days after election day, so long as those votes were postmarked by election day. This is to ensure that everyone's vote is counted.
Step 4: The Rage Quit
"Let's call it quits because I've had enough." A red-faced Trump ripped off his mic, threw it on the floor, and stormed out. Well, maybe it was more of a waddle.
Step 5: The Kicker
Welker revealed that after this meltdown, Trump actually called her and agreed to do ANOTHER interview, which means even he knows he embarrassed himself.
This is the President of the United States. He cannot sit through a standard interview without having a complete breakdown the moment he's asked a basic follow-up question.
Run away Forest Trump, run away!
