Here's the TV Clip That Sparked President Trump's Latest Twitter Tirade About 'Sleepy Eyes' Chuck Todd
President Donald Trump has launched yet another Sunday morning Twitter tear – a familiar practice in the last few weeks – this one aimed at NBC News political director “Sleepy Eyes” Chuck Todd.
The tweets came after Todd questioned the Trump Administration’s approach to negotiations with North Korea in a segment on the Today show ahead of Todd’s Meet the Press hour.
Trump shot back with within minutes: “Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd of Fake News NBC just stated that we have given up so much in our negotiations with North Korea, and they have given up nothing. Wow, we haven’t given up anything & they have agreed to denuclearization (so great for World), site closure, & no more testing!”

....We are a long way from conclusion on North Korea, maybe things will work out, and maybe they won’t - only time will tell....But the work I am doing now should have been done a long time ago!

Talking to Hallie Jackson, NBC’s chief White House correspondent, on the Today show, Todd said that while North Korea’s dictator, Kim Jong Un, appears to be acting cooperatively, North Korea really hasn’t promised the U.S. much of anything in negotiations so far.
