President Donald Trump is getting called out over his absolute crash-out on “Meet the Press” after he attacked host Kristen Welker for questioning his absurd election claims before storming out of the interview.

In the wild closing moments of the interview, the president used the word “crooked” to describe elections, major news networks and Welker herself in a tantrum seemingly fueled by her fact-checking.

“You’re a one-sided crooked network. Sorry. Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling. Have a good time,” said Trump as he took his mic off his blazer, tossed it to the ground and dismissively waved off Welker as she pleaded with him to continue.

“I’ve sat in the rain with you,” said Trump, pointing to rain hitting the metal roof of a Wisconsin farm building that served as the site of the interview.

“I traveled all the way to Wisconsin,” Welker said.

“I sat in the rain with you for an hour,” he continued. “On and off in the rain, and I’ve given you enough time. You ought to straighten out your press, because you know what? A country can never be great with a dishonest press.”

He then signaled for his team to leave, got up from his seat and appeared to step on the mic as he made his way out. Trump has since agreed to another interview as a result of “complications” from the rain, according to Welker.

CNN’s Jake Tapper weighed in on the clip and called out Trump’s “wild, unhinged” behavior before remarking on Welker, whose interview marks another example of the president’s history of attacking female reporters.

“Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that,” Tapper wrote on X.

That is some wild, unhinged stuff from the President.Welker is a good person and honest journalist and didn’t deserve that but more importantly we have a president who constantly pushes conspiracy theories with zero evidence and can’t respond when politely challenged on that. https://t.co/FO5bTmrkvZ

Journalist Ahmed Baba used the clip to declare that the president “unravels when his delusional unreality faces the slightest pushback.”

He wrote, “When he’s out of his sycophantic bubble, he’s forced to grapple with the fragility of his lies, the backlash to his overreach, and his mounting political weakness. He can’t handle the truth.”

And other critics cracked that “dude is losing his shit” and described his behavior as “demented and deranged.”

Check out those reactions and more below.

Again, he gets graded on a curve. Dude is losing his shit because a reporter pushes back a bit on his lies, and he loses his temper, insults her, and walks out of the interview. And yet, he keeps being presented as a sane and normal person. https://t.co/rb7aB0o8Qh

He is demented and deranged. He is a disgrace to America and humanity. He is incapable of leading or doing what is best for America. Republicans and Democrats should join together today and begin the process of removing him from office. https://t.co/o4jRJm5Du5

What an insecure person. He wilts under the slightest pressure and push back. It’s no wonder our adversaries don’t fear him. https://t.co/5Q7mI0cOcR

T***p calling this journalist "darling" must mean he was impressed by her, along with being overwhelmed & infuriated by her.  good for Ms. Welker!not always, but so often, it is women who are standing up to T***p.  but plenty of room for others to stand up to him, too. https://t.co/RQFpg0nxZo

Guy can’t even handle basic straightforward polite questions but we’re supposed to think he’s some masterful negotiator. Please, his whole life story is a lie.  Wake up, people. This is who he has always been. A fraud. https://t.co/ocOuz8k6Z4

Emotionally unstable man goes on paranoid, babbling rant.Somewhere in that suit, he has a small card with the codes to 1500 strategic nuclear weapons. https://t.co/ggwtvofV9X

It’s amazing that anyone views this man as strong when he throws tantrums like this on video. https://t.co/p57kzR1VIe

Always weird to me that conservatives act like he’s the toughest man in America when literally a follow up question is enough to make him turn completely beet red and crash out https://t.co/gZwBAMeO9T

It’s a simple ask - what is your evidence?Extraordinary claims like election “rigging” require extraordinary proof and evidence. Not only has there never been any extraordinary evidence, there has never been any evidence produced at all.Hence the anger we see from him. When… https://t.co/I39v4chEG7
