Trump himself has been dumped from NBC's "The Apprentice," as has his "Miss USA" beauty pageant following remarks he has made on illegal immigration. But "Meet the Press," the oldest show on American television, has continued on the network.
Another Trump tweet indicated he has heard Todd's job is in jeopardy, though he didn't cite a source.
Trump has previously called conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer a "rodeo clown" and "totally overrated" and said National Review Online editor Jonah Goldberg a guy who "can't buy a pair of pants" after he criticized him.
