April 3: Trump Mocks NBC's Chuck Todd ... President escalates his war with the media.
When President Donald Trump gets into political trouble, he often blasts the news media for picking on him and distorting the facts. He did it again last weekend when he mocked NBC commentator Chuck Todd and made fun of Todd's appearance.
"When will Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd and @NBCNews start talking about the Obama SURVEILLANCE SCANDAL and stop with the Fake Trump/Russia story," Trump wrote on Twitter. About 20 minutes later, Trump added: "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. Total scam!"
What apparently provoked the president was Todd's appearance on the NBC Nightly News Friday when he talked about the congressional and FBI investigations into potential connections between Trump associates and Russia regarding ways to intervene in the 2016 campaign and defeat Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. Todd criticized Trump for making unproven claims that President Barack Obama wiretapped Trump Tower in New York. Todd said this claim, which also is under investigation, created "all of the current problems for this West Wing....This has all been self-inflicted."

March 11: Chuck Todd Rips Steve Mnuchin Over Trump’s “Son of a Bitch” Insult
Online, Todd seemed to take the slight in stride, tweeting Saturday night, “Don’t miss @MeetThePress tomorrow! I know folks may be tired in the morning due to springing forward, so set those clocks and DVRs now before your eyes get too sleepy.” But in person, his patience seemed to have frayed. “I bring my kids up to respect the office of the presidency and the president,” he said during an appearance on NBC4 Saturday night. “I don’t allow them to say anything negative, ever, about the president.”
Trump has been using the odd “sleepy eyes” insult since at least 2012, when he tweeted, “It's great that sleepy eyes @chucktodd gets no traction.” He has since called him “sleepy” more than a dozen times ...
“Chuck, you know I’ve been with the president in campaigns,” Mnuchin said. “You know he likes to put names on people. He did that through the entire presidential election, including all the Republicans that he beat. So these are campaign rally issues.” Todd was incredulous: “So you’re saying that’s acceptable behavior for the rest of the administration too, or it’s just unique to him?”
“Again, Chuck, this is something that is at a campaign rally,” Mnuchin responded. “The president likes making funny names ... I think you should be focused on the policies,” he continued. “He is using these vulgarities in the context of a campaign rally. Obviously, there were a lot of funny moments at that rally."
“Yeah,” Todd said, before ending the interview. “They were hilarious.”
