‘The Media Is So Fake’: Trump Jabs At Welker, Nancy Pelosi In Unaired ‘Meet The Press’ Clips

In two clips that did not make it into Sunday’s NBC News broadcast, President Donald Trump sparred with the “Meet the Press” host over the tone of her questions — and of legacy media outlets in general — and jabbed at former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over alleged insider trading.

“The media is so fake,” Trump told Welker. “Like even the way you ask questions, every question is asked in a negative vein. ‘There’s a toy company that took a toddler’s you know, whatever …’ But you don’t talk about the fact that gasoline is down at numbers that nobody believes possible. You know why they’re down, by the way? Drill, baby, drill! We’re drilling like crazy right now.”

Welker pushed back, protesting, “We try to make sure every question is fair, Mr. President.”

“Every question you ask says a very negative slant. And I’m fine for responding to you. I don’t think you’re very difficult at all to respond to, to be honest with you. But you know what? You should ask some positive things,” Trump insisted. “Like, ‘Sir, it’s amazing what you’ve done with gasoline.’ Because you know what? Gasoline’s big business.”

Trump also took aim at Pelosi in another clip that didn’t make it into the final broadcast, saying that someone should look into how much money she made investing while in Congress — where she potentially had access to information that the general public did not have.

Responding to a question about how he could personally profit from his time as president, Trump said, “If I own stock in something and I do a good job, and the stock market goes up, I guess I’m profiting.”

“But who really profits is somebody like Nancy Pelosi, who uses inside information,” Trump continued. “She worked for $175,000 a year, and that’s at the high end. And she’s worth $150, $200 million? Okay? You ought to look at Nancy Pelosi and you ought to look at some of these politicians that are stone cold crooks.”

“I was very wealthy when I came in. Being president probably cost me money if you really look,” he concluded.
