Chuck Todd is on CNN and he is shocked

that trump is not "meeting the moment" since he was a "victim of violence himself." He says that the country needs Presidential leadership now and the world does too because of the Iran/Israeli crisis. He is surprised that trump is not providing it.

Gee, I hope he’ll be ok. I’d hate to see him uncomfortable when many others are angry, fed up, hurting, running out of patience, and the list goes on.

Fuck Jake Tapper, then fuck Chuck.

Do yourself and the rest of us a profound favor, Chuck Todd: just fucking disappear, and don't return. This nation is in great need of brave, talented journalists right now---and you don't qualify.

Was an IRL example of the Addition by Subtraction concept.

He didn't "meet the moment" the first time around, Chuckie. What made YOU think he would "meet the moment" this go-round?

Just like the other places he has been, he won't last that long.

Chuck "Chuckles" Todd is basically useless as a commentator.

Todd did say.. he wasn’t Meeting the Moment. And said what this country Needs.

He could be talking about Joe Biden

up his comments by saying that Biden would have met the moment or something like that. But he didn't. At least not that I heard. I could only listen for so long.

Mon Jun 16, 2025, 05:44 PM

I'm shocked that anyone could be this clueless to expect anything out of Agent Orange other than what we're witnessing.

Where's the evidence, Chuck, that Trump ever intended to 'meet the moment' beyond taking every opportunity to enrich himself? Leadership? When has there ever been evidence of Trump's leadership skills other running fraudulent schemes or ego-driven businesses (most of which went belly-up) while holding petty grievances against all critics/opponents?

His entire shtick is a blatant lie. He doesn't care about America. He doesn't care about his own supporters. He cares only about himself.

Everything else is irrelevant.

You're educated. You're presumably a journalist. You have no excuses for being so outrageously obtuse.

He’s “SURPRISED” at the lack of leadership here? Was his last name van Winkle before he changed it to Todd?

SHEESH!!!

I’ve never been that impressed with Chuck Todd. Didn’t know many blowhards like him when I was still working. But I’m sure he remains his biggest fan…

If I were running NBC News, he’d be gone already.
