On Sunday, President Donald Trump sat down with the new anchor for “Meet the Press,” Kristen Welker.
NBC has shared the full interview which is about an hour and twenty minutes long, that you can watch at the end of this article.
Welker laid out that Trump faces four indictments with a total of 91 felony charges. Trump requested she represent the charges “properly.” He explained, “I’m facing four Biden indictments. He told the Justice Department to indict him or Merrick Garland said let’s indict him… They indicted their political opponent.”
Welker then asked Trump, “I just wanna hear from you on this, I wanna know what’s in your head. When you go to bed at night, do you worry about going to jail?”
“No I don’t really,” he responded. “I don’t even think about it. I’m built a little differently I guess.”
He went on, “Because I have had people come up to me and say ‘How do you do it sir, how do you do it?’ I don’t even think about it.”
“These are corrupt people, they are destroying our country. I don’t even think about it. All I think about is making the country great, making America great. Look these are political these are banana republic indictments, these are third-world indictments.”
Trump continued, “The president of the United States sees how we are doing, we have a movement, the likes of which has never happened in this country before. And you see it with the polls, I mean I’m up on these people by sixty points and fifty-nine points, I don’t mean I’m at fifty-nine, I mean I’m leading them by fifty-nine. You almost say like why are they campaigning? Asa Hutchinson, he’s at zero, Christie’s at two, other ones are at one, DeSanctamonius is at nine… I mean I’m leading him by sixty points.”
Trump then stated Biden saw what was going on and asked the attorney general to indict him in his belief. Welker retorted, “There’s just no evidence of that,” and the clip ends.

At one point Trump brought up Biden and the lies he has been caught in recently. Welker redirected the conversation with, “I wanna stay focused on you,” deflecting from the valid claim by Trump.

Not afraid to sit down with the media that has portrayed him in a negative light, Trump took on NBC News which quickly released a “fact check” article after the interview was released. Much to the dismay of the Never Trumpers and many leftists Trump isn’t going away. The indictments aren’t stopping him neither are the left’s attempts to fact-check the Republican front-runner.
