President Donald Trump walking out of an interview with NBC’s Kristin Welker contained a small moment revealing exactly how he feels about her.
It’s no secret that the president and the media have had an adversarial relationship since his famous golden escalator announcement in 2015. In the decade since, he and the mainstream media have gone toe-to-toe on nearly every issue, and on Friday, the topic of discussion was his agricultural agenda. It didn’t take long for Trump to have his fill of the conversation, at which time he chose to walk out of the interview.
But eagle-eyed viewers caught what he did right before taking his leave:
This is the greatest end of an interview I’ve ever seen. Bar none!
Trump just didn’t drop the mich, he buried it. Like nuclear dust in Iran. Deep!

The clip shows Trump stepping on the microphone that had been attached to his lapel as he makes his way out of the interview setup.
X users reacted to the move:
I had to show my wife. That was excellent.

Almost as good as when he walked out on Leslie Stahl’s 60-minute interview. He’s the leader of the free world, a busy man—and has no time for foolish interviews.

@kwelkernbc is a nobody! She is a very ignorant useful idiot reciting lines fed to her by a very destructive machine. She is NOT a Journalist she does not “report!”
Her network @NBCNews is NOT a journalistic entity!— the Original Paulie Walnuts – USN (@WalnutsThielen) June 7, 2026
Perhaps NBC should send an intelligent, informationally aware adult, not a whiney, selfish, little “low IQ” brat (but “I” traveled all the way to Wisconsin) to interview THEIR (yes every last NBC employees’) President?

If only he would have Jumped on the John Deere tractor, fired it up and destroyed the set, while laughing maniacally.

I’m really going to miss him after this term. He’s the greatest president ever, and these little reminders that these rabid TDS “newscasters” have lost any respect he or any of us might have given them, makes that reality so bitter.

Kristin Welker says “I traveled all the way to Wisconsin” – what does she want, a fucking medal? @MeetThePress is a joke. It’s never been the same since the death of Tim Russert.
