President Donald Trump ripped into “Meet the Press” anchor Kristen Welker — and her home network, NBC News — in a Sunday evening post on his Truth Social platform panning their coverage of his administration and saying that they were focusing on all the wrong things.
Trump, who spoke with Welker himself by phone on Sunday, said that she had “wasted my administration’s time” by focusing on stories that were less important and failing to address the serious issues facing the country.

“Kristen Welker’s entire first half hour of the Lowly Rated Meet the Fake Press this morning, was devoted to the boring Signal Witch Hunt,” Trump began. He went on to note that Welker, like the anchors and many of the guests on the other networks’ Sunday talk shows, had spent a fair amount of time on the Signal chat group that had included a number of top Trump administration officials — and, accidentally, Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg — in a discussion about a recent attack on Houthi terrorists.

“She doesn’t want to talk in detail about anything that matters like how well we are doing against the Houthis, substantive Peace Talks with Russia and Ukraine or, Iran, Iran, Iran,” Trump continued. “She wastes my Administration’s time by talking to them about ‘NOTHING.'”
“Why can’t NBC, one of the Worst Broadcasters on Television, hire people that are honest and credible?” Trump asked, before pivoting to blame leadership at the network. “The reason they don’t is because their Chairman, Brian Roberts, is a pathetic Loser, who is petrified of the Left, and always will be. Comcast’s MSNBC and NBC have fought me for years, spending almost all of their waking hours making up Fake Stories — and look, I’m PRESIDENT, with really high Poll Numbers and Great Accomplishments. Good job Brian!”
