Trump Targets NBC Journalist for Election Commentary
By Editor • August 31, 2026 • 1 min read
In a bold move, President Trump has called for the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to take action against NBC journalist Kristen Welker. He accused her of making 'purposeful inaccuracy' claims regarding his election endorsements, specifically her characterization of his results as 'mixed.'
In a post on Truth Social, Trump pointed out his endorsements' success rates, highlighting wins for Darline Graham and Mike Mazzei. He deemed Welker's remarks unacceptable, insisting she should face repercussions from the FCC.
Trump also took aim at the media in general, decrying what he labeled 'fake polls' and targeting New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman in a separate tirade.
