Chuck Todd: Trump Presser Shows 'How Normal a Circus Is Now to Us'

One of Chuck Todd‘s big takeaways from President-elect Donald Trump‘s press conference today was just “how normal a circus is now to us.”

“This was a circus,” he said on MSNBC earlier this afternoon. “We’ve never seen a president-elect, a transition, like we saw today.”

Todd described it as the apparent normalization of a “crazy scene,” but a scene that worked well in Trump’s favor.

He noted how it’s environments like this wherein Trump can thrive and make the press look “disjointed,” and so he should want to hold pressers more often.

"Press" members are the promoters of the circus. Looked like a bunch of slack jawed dummies at this press SHOW. Sad.

Todd: "He noted how it’s environments like this wherein Trump can thrive and make the press look “disjointed,” and so he should want to hold pressers more often."

Trump can thrive because of those such as yourself Todd

Trump does not make the press look "disjointed", you do that to yourselves.

I imagine he will hold more pressers now that he sees how easy it is.

Why didn't Todd defend Costa?

it's astounding that the media keeps insisting they have no idea how to cover donnie, and all they can do is marvel at his repeated lies and displays of ignorance and irresponsibility.


yet if they stopped for half a second and imagined how they would handle it if hillary said anything remotely similar, *of course* they would know exactly how to handle it! they would be up in arms, calling her unbalanced, unhinged, unstable, lying, dangerous, needing to be investigated, impeached, etc.

seriously, how can they go from faulting hillary's life-saving charity to excusing trump's multi-billion dollar for-profit conflicts with his family business -- including many business arrangement that directly impact tax policy, foreign policy, etc.?

how can they go from faulting hillary not proudly announcing her pneumonia to excusing Donnie's ongoing secrect regarding his taxes, his debts, his ties to russia, etc.?

how can they go from tarring hillary as a security risk because podesta's risotto recipe got out but downplay how it appears that donnie has been hopelessly, directly compromised by our greatest international rival? in hillary's case, all they have is that it might have been possible for a tiny amount of low-level confidential information to have been hacked, no evidence that it had been. in donnie's case, we've practically got the whole scenario, including donnie paying putin back by excusing the invasion of crimea and us possibly reneging on nato commitments.

first russopublican in what, ever? to align himself with russia? not a yuuuuge red flag?



the media is disgustingly biased.

Your critical reporting skills (such as they are) might have had some value, during the course of the election. This after-the-fact shit doesn't cut it.
