Todd is the problem.Why have an interviewer whose wife works for the DNC

Chuck interrupts answers, if he doesn't want answers why ask?

Cuz he sux

His tired act is wearing thin on the American people.

It is time for NBCNews to fire chucktodd. davidgregory got fired over lackluster ratings!

That's because its chucktodd

And yet...viewership on FOX is through the roof!! No one believes chucktodd

No one watches Meet the Press! I was once a dedicated viewer but the lies and theatrics from the host was unpalatable.

Well Chuck Todd did it...right?

Your problem begins with and ends with chucktodd. He's a nice guy. He's good at reading polls, but he lacks the intellectual fortitude necessary. Try someone with real convictions who is tougher.

He will get re-elected.

Ratings are going down, his.

Meet the press is fake news

Our ignorant President is blaming the Dems for the drowning deaths of that father and daughter. It’s all the fault of our laws that this is happening. How come this never happened while Obama or W. Bush were in office?

NBC sux

It’s because CNBC and NBC has alienated all the red states. I used to watch CNBC all the time but quit watching because I can’t stand Harwood, Wapner et al. I’m shocked Joe Kernen has not been fired.

cutler18

I refuse to listen to him (mute button) or watch his ugly face (I surf my phone). HE MAKES ME WANT TO VOMIT.

Chuck Todd, the great turn off.

msnbc NBCNews If it had been Tapper, Chris Wallace, Maddow, Brian Williams, Anderson Cooper, I'd have watched for insightful, important questions, follow up questions & push back w/facts. Chuck Todd is intellectually lazy, ill prepared, and lets lies stand. Not worth my time.

Why would anyone waste their time watching the liar. It’s exhausting

Hopefully American's will turn to another channel every time he is on... haven't we heard everything he has to say before anyway... like his announcement to run again, with the same old same BS ?

I’m not surprised because a majority of Americans are sick of this farce of an administration. We can’t wait until the day he’s gone.

It was just a repeat. Never says anything new.

People knew Chuck Todd was not going to be hard on him. Just another fluff piece. Americans are tired and frankly sick of his lies and bully platform.

Does anyone still watch NBC?

Maybe get a journalist to interview him next time.Chuck Todd was brutal ,never contradicted Trumps lies once.

I hope the news stations learn a lesson. Trump is ratings killer. People are sick of hearing his incoherent ramblings and lies.

No one wants to hear all the lies! Why even give the Con in Chief airtime. I refuse to listen to anything Donny Con has to say

Why would it bump ratings? They were interviewing Donnie for Christ’s sake. He’s low ratings with a bad haircut.

That's cause nobody watches CNBC anyway

Could it be that somebody’s a ratings LLLLLLOOOOOOSSSSSSSEEEEEERRRRRRR ? realDonaldTrump POTUS

Now days Interviewing politicians requires a bullshit meter.

Who wants to listen to more lies? I mean we've heard thousands from him already, it's repeated to death, why bother subjecting yourself to more? Now, if you get a journalist that will follow up on the lies, hold his feet to the fire to get him to say truths, then we'll tune in.

Trump Fatigue! I just can't listen to him talk anymore, assuming of course, I can tract what he is trying to say vs. how he says it. It's tiring.

Its too predictable, he quotes himself, tag lines, gaslighting, avoid, say crazy shit...President Tariffs

The entire World is sick of hearing this deranged habitual liar on every news program. He's not news anymore .... have journalists interview the GOP who support and enable him answer questions. The Chopper talk scenes are just free propaganda moments daily for this liar.

folks are sick of this demoniac person .

Aww too bad!!!! NO ONE Wants to hear Trumps voice and lies!!!! I will always turn the channel to avoid him!!! I know I'm not alone! STOP LETTING HIM LIE ON PRIMETIME!!!!

Todd missed so many opportunities to turn this into a ratings win and good interview but missed the mark. Trump ran the show (lies and more lies) and Todd let it go. Disappointed because there is so much great talent at MSNBC.

Hmm. He gets big ratings everywhere else !!!

It's the same lies over and over again. It's exhausting.

Trump was on Meet The Press and I couldn’t care less.

The people are tired of the same hatful rhetoric and repeative lies. It hasn't changed in years.

Because we all knew chucktodd would just throw softball questions and have no follow-up questions for his lies.

Many of us can't stand to listen to trump.

He's gonna lie. If you want a ratings bump, get ahead of the story. Do investigative journalism, let him defend himself and hold his feet to fire. If it's a puff piece with Chuck Todd, not interested!

Chuck needs to go. He has destroyed the show.

I'd watch it if someone got him drunk first

Not surprised since Chuck Todd did the interview

Who could have seen that coming when you pair up two of the most unpopular people in America- chucktodd and realDonaldTrump
