Donald Trump is back on the campaign trail, and back to poking fun at journalists.
This time the president took aim at NBC’s Chuck Todd, calling him a ‘sleepy eye son of a b***h’, as he stood before the crowd in Moon Township, Pennsylvania.
Trump arrived in Pittsburgh to campaign for Republican Rick Saccone, who is neck-and-neck with Democrat Conor Lamb for a vacant house seat.
But, true to fashion, the president spent more time talking about television ratings, fake news, and his own reelection – revealing his 2020 slogan will be ‘Keep America great!’

It appears Trump was responding to a tweet from Todd on Saturday afternoon, directly replying to the president’s calls of fake news
It appears Trump was responding to a tweet from Todd on Saturday afternoon, directly replying to the president’s calls of fake news.
‘In the first hours after hearing that North Korea’s leader wanted to meet with me to talk denuclearization and that missle launches will end, the press was startled and amazed,’ Trump wrote.
‘They couldn’t believe it. But by the following morning the news became FAKE. They said so what, who cares!’
Todd hit back that Trump’s critique had ‘no basis in fact’.
‘Even using the loose set of parameters he sometimes uses to call something a “fact” or “fake” doesn’t apply on this,’ the host tweeted.
‘Now if he replaced “press” with “some West Wing staff”, there’d be some truth in this.’
Todd clearly struck a nerve with Trump, who called him out within the first few minutes of his rally on Saturday night
Trump also lodged a number of attacks on what he called the ‘fake press’, attacking CNN and MSNBC, and once again calling Democratic Sen Elizabeth Warren ‘Pocohontas’

The president hit out and Oprah, saying: ‘I’d love to beat Oprah. I know her weakness.’
He also called Democratic Rep Maxine Waters a ‘low IQ individual’, repeatedly telling the crowd ‘we will impeach her’.
He also repeatedly attacked his predecessors, claiming George W Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama could not achieve what he had with North Korea.

‘Obama would not have done it, neither would Bush, neither would Clinton, all they did was nothing,’ he said.
‘This should’ve been handled over the last 30 years, not now,’ Trump went on as he discussed relations with North Korea.
‘But that’s okay, that’s what we do, we handle things. These guys came out and they said that the president has done a great job.’
Trump went so far as to say that North Korean leader Kim Jong Un told the president that the Olympics would have ‘been a total failure’ without him.
‘It’s a little hard to sell tickets when you think you’re going to be nuked,’ said Trump, who took credit for making the Olympics ‘very successful’.
‘Is there anything funner than a Trump rally?’ he asked the crowd, clearly enjoying himself after weeks of dodging scandals with Russia, Mueller, and Stormy Daniels.
