Tackling Allegations of Division
Welker didn’t relent, accusing Trump of deepening national divides and revisiting the contentious 2020 election. Trump rejected the premise outright.
“No. Why would I do that?” Trump shot back when asked if he would concede the 2020 election for the sake of unity. He placed blame squarely on President Joe Biden, saying, “When you say the country is deeply divided, I agree, but Biden is the President. I’m not, and he has been a divider. He weaponized the Justice Department and went after his political opponent, me, violently because he knew he couldn’t beat me.”
Refusing to Revisit 2020
On whether his administration would investigate claims of fraud in the 2020 election, Trump clarified his stance:
“Just so you know, I have the right to do that, but I’m not interested in that. I have the absolute right. I’m the chief law enforcement officer. You do know that? I’m the president. But I’m not interested in that.” He emphasized his focus on “drilling and getting prices down” and securing America’s borders against threats from foreign prisons and mental institutions.
Bold Economic Vision
The conversation also turned to Trump’s economic policies, particularly his plans to impose 25% tariffs on foreign imports. Welker expressed skepticism, prompting Trump to outline his approach to economic fairness and national sovereignty.
“Why are we subsidizing other countries?” Trump asked. “If we’re going to subsidize them, let it become a state.” His statement was a nod to recent comments directed at Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about the possibility of making Canada the 51st state.
Trump lambasted the current administration’s economic failures, questioning why Democrats face little scrutiny over inflation and falsified data. Despite the sharp questioning, he confidently laid out his strategy to end exploitation by foreign nations and tackle illegal immigration.

A Masterclass in Media Combat
The interview showcased Trump’s ability to turn the tables on even the most aggressive interviewers, leaving Welker visibly flustered at times. By the end of the heated exchange, Trump had not only defended his record but also laid out a roadmap for his administration’s priorities, from energy independence to restoring law and order.
While NBC may have hoped to challenge Trump, the former president emerged from the encounter unscathed, demonstrating once again why he remains a dominant force in American politics.
