Charles David Todd, professionally known as Chuck Todd is an American television journalist, the 12th and current moderator of NBC's Meet the Press. 46-year-old Todd being in a controversial jab with President Donald Trump is not a new thing.

In 2017, NBC's Chuck tweeted during President Trump‘s Thursday press conference. To all the plans and new rules implemented by Trump, Todd slammed saying he is Un-American.
The main reason is believed that Todd found Trump’s constant delegitimization and labeling the press “fake news” the most dangerous aspect.
Trump said,
“I’m making this presentation directly to the American people with the media present — which is an honor to have you this morning — because many of our nation’s reporters and folks will not tell you the truth.”
Also,
"And will not treat the wonderful people of our country with the respect that they deserve.”
Chuck was so mad at Trump's conference that he tweeted,
This not a laughing matter. I'm sorry, delegitimizing the press is unAmerican

American lawyer and diplomat, John R. Bolton slammed back on Fox's Outnumbered to Todd saying,
I thought that tweet was one of the most foolish things I’ve seen from the media in a long time. That’s pretty low bar there.

Regarding the issue, Trump tweeted:
When will Sleepy Eyes Chuck Todd and @NBCNews start talking about the Obama SURVEILLANCE SCANDAL and stop with the Fake Trump/Russia story?

However, it is not the first time, as Trump already clashed with Chuck Todd earlier.
"Sleepy" Chuck Todd of NBC falls far short of the late great Tim Russert.

As reported Donald Trump referred him as the 'son of a bi**h' at a Pennsylvania campaign rally for congressional candidate Rick Saccone, in March 2018, to which Chuck responded as a bad impact on kids as:
I bring my kids up to respect the office of the presidency and the president. I don’t allow them to say anything negative, ever, about the president. It creates a challenge to all parents when he uses vulgarities like that.
Let's hope the round-up of their conflict comes to an end.
Born in the middle-class family with his Jewish parents, Todd started his career in journalism in 1992 as an editor-in-chief in National Journal's The Hotline. And it took him 25 years to reach in this position and to achieve such a success in his professional life.

Just after the death of Tim in 2008, Chuck was a candidate for the replacement as the host of NBC's Meet the Press. But, unfortunately, David Gregory got the job.
