Trump: I'd Be Better 'Meet the Press' Host Than 'Moron' Chuck Todd

Donald Trump didn't take kindly to "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd getting in a dig at him during Sunday's broadcast, taking to Twitter to suggest he'd be better at the job himself.

Todd and his panel discussed last weekend's Iowa Freedom Summit, which was attended by several possible GOP 2016 presidential hopefuls. He played a clip of Trump, the said, "Nobody’s going to mistake Donald Trump for a presidential candidate, I don’t think, other than Donald Trump."

The billionaire real estate mogul and star of NBC's "The Apprentice" immediately took to Twitter to respond:

Word is that @NBCNews is firing sleepy eyes Chuck Todd in that his ratings on Meet the Press are setting record lows. He's a real loser!

He continued the attack on Tuesday:

I am convinced that sleepy eyes Chuck Todd was only a placeholder for someone else at Meet the Press. He bombed, franchise in ruins! @nbc

So many people have told me that I should host Meet the Press and replace the moron who is on now. Just too busy, especially next 10 years!
