It really is just that. It is sad. It\u2019s very sad.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At the beginning of the Meet The Press interview, both Trump and Welker noted the rain outside, but by the end things were much more tense.<\/p>\n<p>\nStewart quipped: &#8220;But then, we get to a moment when the heartland rain-swept rom-com becomes a man trapped in a barn with his worst nightmare:<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;A woman \u2026 who won\u2019t stop asking pertinent questions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added that everyone knew Trump wouldn&#8217;t actually have left the building during the interview &#8220;because it&#8217;s raining out&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe joked: &#8220;And, as you know, moisture is the natural enemy of the North American combover.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nStewart was critical of Welker appearing to blame Trump&#8217;s demeanour and frustration on the rain, while noting she has been given another interview to make up for him storming out.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe argued: &#8220;He wasn\u2019t aggravated by the rain. Donald Trump didn\u2019t storm out because of the rain; he stormed out because he was challenged, not because he was distracted.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;So maybe it\u2019s time we stop making excuses for that man in order to preserve access to his constant bullshit.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nAt the end of the interview, Trump branded NBC a &#8220;one-sided crooked network&#8221; and told Welker: &#8220;Let&#8217;s call it quits because I&#8217;ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nOn Monday (08.06.26), Trump was in attendance at Madison Square Garden for New York Knicks&#8217; NBA Finals game against the San Antonio Spurs, which marked the team&#8217;s first home game in their first Finals appearance since 1999.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe attended in a private box, at the invitation of Knicks owner and friend James Dolan, and was booed by fans in MSG in what was his first game in years.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/jon-stewart-brands-donald-trump-fragile-man-baby-storming-interview-1445670.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 June 2026 Jon Stewart branded Donald Trump an &#8220;incredibly fragile man-baby&#8221; for storming out of an interview.
