Summary

Donald Trump’s Dec. 8 interview on NBC’s Meet the Press showcased his continued pattern of lying, dodging, and ignoring questions about his intentions to go after his perceived political enemies and his plans for healthcare and immigration.

While Kristen Welker attempted pushback, Trump largely dominated the conversation, reiterating his intent to target perceived political enemies, referencing loyalty-tested appointees like Kash Patel and Pam Bondi.

He expressed openness to working with Democrats on immigration issues like DACA but offered vague answers on healthcare and abortion policies.

The interview highlighted the challenge in interviewing Trump and his loyalists, as they often misstate facts and need to be called on it.
