Donald Trump experienced a public meltdown during an interview with NBC's Kristen Welker in Wisconsin, exhibiting agitated behavior and ending the interview prematurely. This incident followed his engagement at a farmers' roundtable and has drawn criticism and concern regarding his composure.
- The former president, 79, became visibly upset during a "Meet the Press" interview in a barn, attributing his anger to rain and "fake news." He repeatedly halted the production due to the sound of the rain, which observers found unusual. Trump accused Welker and NBC of being "crooked" and "one-sided" when she challenged his claims about rigged elections and negative press coverage. He aggressively dismissed Welker, removed his lapel microphone, and walked away. During a rally in Wisconsin, Trump also required assistance from Rep. Derrick Van Orden to navigate a stage step, raising further concerns about his physical stability.
