President Trump singled out NBC’s Chuck Todd in tweets this morning about the “phony Russia story”:
When will Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd and @NBCNews start talking about the Obama SURVEILLANCE SCANDAL and stop with the Fake Trump/Russia story?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 1, 2017
It is the same Fake News Media that said there is "no path to victory for Trump" that is now pushing the phony Russia story. A total scam!

Todd responded thusly:
For those wondering, I slept well even tho I stayed up late watching the #msstate upset of UConn. #cowbell. Don't feel sleepy at all though

And in case you’re wondering, yes, Fox & Friends was talking about Todd this morning, covering recent comments he made about how “lame duck-ish” Trump’s administration seems.
This is not the first time Trump has used this nickname for the Meet the Press anchor:
It's great that sleepy eyes @chucktodd gets no traction.

Sleepy eyes @chucktodd is an absolute joke of a reporter. He is in the bag for Obama. He can't carry @jack_welch's jock.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 8, 2012
Sleepy eyes @chucktodd — whenever you mention me unfairly I will likewise mention you.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 9, 2012
Sleepy eyes @chucktodd—one of the dumbest voices in politics– is angry that I’m doing @ThisWeekABC.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 9, 2013
Sleepy eyes @chucktodd, when looking at my financial filings, should’ve said “Great job Mr. Trump, Sir.”
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 9, 2013
Word is that @NBCNews is firing sleepy eyes Chuck Todd in that his ratings on Meet the Press are setting record lows. He's a real loser!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2015
I am convinced that sleepy eyes Chuck Todd was only a placeholder for someone else at Meet the Press. He bombed, franchise in ruins! @nbc
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 27, 2015
I hear that sleepy eyes @chucktodd will be fired like a dog from ratings starved Meet The Press? I can't imagine what is taking so long!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 13, 2015
Wow, sleepy eyes @chucktodd is at it again. He is do totally biased. The things I am saying are correct. – far better vision than the others
