Chuck Todd nails Trump as "afraid to lead" after Trump flees presser, taking no questions

[highplainsdem]

after his statements on China, WHO, and Hong Kong.

It was a very cowardly exit.

Editing to add a CBS News tweet with video of the Coward-in-Chief in flight:

1. Cowardly blowhard is his brand.

I look forward to his demise.

[highplainsdem]

18. Yep. Definitely his brand.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Probably for the best.

We know nothing he would have said would have made things any better.

[Baclava]

3. He hasn't figured out the right one to blame yet, give him time

[Miles Archer]

4. No, he is NOT afraid to lead, he simply does not GAF.

I'm not closing the door on the POSSIBILITY of fear, he just doesn't CARE about over 100K dead Americans, he doesn't CARE about Minneapolis. It's that simple. He cares about re-election. That's IT.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Words spoken by a COWARD.....

I wonder if his attack on Twitter and Tim Walz's words on not being helpful , got to him.

Tim retired from the Minnesota National Guard as a Command Sergeant Major. They lead, and Tim honed his leadetship skills from.

6. Chuck Todd obviously has never had some bone spurs flare up. Incredibly painful.

[IcyPeas]

7. this has got to totally piss off the press corps there.

they are there to do a job and he walks away from them.

[USALiberal]

8. I though we hated Chuck Todd. nt

[stopdiggin]

10. only on Tuesdays

sometimes Thursdays and Saturdays

[JI7]

16. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday

and Sunday for me.

[USALiberal]

17. OK, that explains it! Thanks! :-)

[fleur-de-lisa]

13. Ha ha!

I have a hard time believing Chuckie Toad "nailed" anyone ever. He's pretty weak as an interviewer and a human being in general.

[LanternWaste]

22. A collective sentiment is fiction

I thought we should think for ourselves rather than investing concern onto an undefinable 'we.'

[USALiberal]

24. Fix your quote! nt

[qazplm135]

23. we hate Trump more

so he gets a comparison boost.

[Wellstone ruled]

9. Mr.Pivot Chuckles.

He most likely seen his Dailies and decided to Pivot. Got my finger to the wind.

[SeattleVet]

11. He'll send out Lying Kayleigh to obfuscate and dodge later; he doesn't have time for that.

He's far too busy to waste his precious time answering to the American people...he has several more rage tweets to send out today!

It's not like he has a global pandemic or something else important to work on.

It's almost as if he knows that his time in this office is very limited, and he needs to do as much damage as possible before President Biden's inauguration and his own incarceration.

12. When are these pundits going to realize that Trump isn't a leader

Trump isn't a President he's playing a role, no different than the apprentice or any other role he's played in his life. He has no capacity to lead because he doesn't know how to do so.

[Caliman73]

14. Whether he is afraid or not is irrelevant. He CAN'T lead.

Trump has non of the qualities or abilities of a leader. He is completely incapable of leading in any way.

Trump is afraid of being exposed. He is running from the consequences of his life.

[malaise]

15. I still believe he will withdraw from his re-election campaign

He knows he cannot win

[leftieNanner]

26. I'm starting to think this way too

Only he needs to figure out how to get out from under those pesky tax and fraud charges haunting him in New York.

Maybe he'll quit his job, get on a plane, and fly to somewhere without extradition. I hear the Ecuadoran embassy has a nice room available.....

[lostnfound]

19. Chuck: blah blah "city smoldering". . Katy: 400 years of history of abuse. Chuck: (crickets)

It’s the property that matters, smoldering city.

To Chuck.

[diane in sf]

20. Probably just pooped his pants and had to run off to get them changed.

[fishwax]

21. afraid of it, incapable of it, totally lacking in comprehension of what it even means

that's our president, folks!

[Pacifist Patriot]

25. Being afraid to lead carries the implication he has the capacity to lead.

It's not leadership he's afraid of. He's a narcissist. He's ducking away from potential shame. Lack of accolades is what he's afraid of.

[dalton99a]

27. Fucking chickenshit coward.

[pwb]

28. I would not follow trump.

He hasn't earned it.

[Skittles]

29. Trump only knows how to divide

he is a bully and a coward
