Chuck Todd Says Trump WH Set to Get Really Crazy Amid Sleepy Eyed Crack: You Aint Seen Nothing Yetby Joe DePaolo | 9:50 am, March 12th, 2018
Rather than covering the story as he does weekly on Meet The Press, NBCs Chuck Todd became the story on Saturday when President Donald Trump took aim at him during a rally in Pennsylvania. Hes a sleeping son of a bitch, Ill tell you, Trump said of Todd.
Todd couldnt have known the sleepy-eyed insult was coming one day earlier when he spoke to Politicos Susan Glasser for the Global Politico podcast in an interview posted Monday. But what he did suspect in a prediction that turned out to be wholly prescient was that things are about to get really wacky in Trump-world.
Hes getting more and more comfortable shooting from the hip and conducting his presidency by his gut, Todd said. I think this last week, these last 10 days of him is the presidency hes dreamed of. Todd added, If you think the last 13 months have been tumultuous, you aint seen nothing yet.
The Meet the Press host also told Politico that Trump used to call him up whine about Todds coverage. Trump believed, according to Todd, the fact that he hosted The Apprentice on the same network meant that he was entitled to favorable treatment from Todd.
For a long time, he used to call me up and be upset because I wasnt taking the idea of him running for president seriously in 2011, Todd said. And we would have these half-hour conversations regularly and I would sit there and I remember one time with Savannah Guthrie and I, we, literally put him on mute, going, Does he have other things to do but call?

I do agree, we haven't seen anything yet as all the wheels come off the trump clown car. All we can hope for is his insanity doesn't actually destroy the world.

(91,966 posts)I think you are absolutely right Bob, they have been coddling him too long. I think some of that may be do to their concerns that they think they will have their access cut off from him if they are too harsh, and that in my view prevents them from doing their job

(6,384 posts)As said above, MSNBC folks tend to point that out more - including Scarborough, so it's not just left-leaning hosts.
