Trump says “You are cooked and so is ABC, CNN”
A video circulating on social media claims to show US President Donald Trump abruptly ending a television interview with journalist Kristen Welker after a tense exchange.
The footage, shared by the RT account on X, has attracted significant attention online and sparked debate among social media users. According to posts accompanying the video, Trump criticized the interviewer and several major US news organizations during the conversation.
In the clip, Trump is heard making sharp remarks about media outlets, including ABC, CBS, and CNN. He also appears to address Welker directly before indicating that he wanted to end the interview.
According to the social media posts, Trump said, “Let’s call it quits because I’ve had enough. Thank you, darling, have a good time,” before leaving the set. The video further claims that Welker attempted to continue the discussion, but Trump chose to walk away from the interview.

The footage has since spread widely across social media platforms, where users have expressed differing views on the encounter. Supporters described Trump’s actions as a response to what they viewed as hostile questioning. Critics, meanwhile, argued that public officials should remain engaged with journalists during interviews.
However, the full context of the exchange remains unclear from the short clip alone. Independent verification of the circumstances surrounding the video was not immediately available, and it was unclear whether the footage represented the complete interview.
Neither Trump’s representatives nor the television network involved had issued public comments regarding the viral clip at the time the video gained attention online.
As discussion continues across social media, the footage has become the latest example of how brief video segments can quickly generate widespread public reaction and political debate.
