Chuck Todd: '16 Years Later We May Look at Donald Trump and He's Still President'

by Justin Baragona | 5:34 pm, December 23rd, 2016

At the beginning of today’s broadcast of MSNBC’s MTP Daily, the host was introducing the viewers to a special broadcast where he and a panel would discuss Donald Trump’s shocking election and how he continued to confound experts and expectations.

After playing clips of different times when Trump looked to be dead in the water due to over-the-top comments and scandals, Todd weighed in on how any thoughts that we may not have to deal with Trump as President for a prolonged period of time will be wrong.

In doing so, it seems Todd forgot about the 22nd Amendment. (Or did he?)

“I’ve also heard Donald Trump, boy, he won’t even make it through the first year of the presidency,” Todd stated. “Ah, Donald Trump will get impeached. Ah, Donald Trump will quit the presidency.” Then he tossed this out: “16 years later we may look at Donald Trump and he’s still President of the United States.” Ummm, OK then.

.......who has been always been awful.

*And he's awful in this case because as a Media Man, he should analyze the things that spring up in his brain- Like maybe, he could have mentioned the nepotism of Trump's administration and his authoritarian tendencies, or Bannon saying that he expects #Trumpism to live on for decades.

Instead he drops some cute line aimed at Trump's detractors.

Really Todd.

She'll break the glass ceiling by being the first woman nominated for president, and then winning by a landslide (yeah, I know, but as Reagan once said, "Facts are stupid things&quot . She's the favorite and will be the heir-apparent.

what's to keep him and his enablers from ignoring the 22nd amendment? If he wants to run in 2024 and the Democrats haven't taken back Congress and a majority of the statehouses we'll be surprised at how quickly a Republican-dominated House, Senate, and states can repeal the 22nd.

Maybe the fattest since Grover Cleveland. And this is a far cry from Obama - who is the fittest president we've ever had. And at his age being that overweight is not a good thing.

You and the rest of the MSM whores helped deliver the presidency to Trump---and now you're making on-air speculations about a 16-year Trump reign? Fuck you where you breathe, Chuck Todd.
