Trump Calls Out NBC Host in Heated Interview: ‘You Gotta Tell the Truth, Chuck!’
The Blaze ^ | 10-05-11 | Christopher Santarelli

Posted on 12/05/2011 10:30:28 AM PST by Lazlo in PA

Whether through sound bites or live audio, “The Donald” has been making the rounds on all the news talk shows this morning in response to GOP presidential candidates Texas Rep. Ron Paul and former Utah Governor Jon Huntsman electing to skip the debate that Donald Trump will moderate on December 27. It’s been a war of words to say the least.

During his second NBC interview of the morning, Trump got heated with “Daily Rundown” host Chuck Todd, at one point saying, “I didn’t call you, you called me.” That was in response to Todd saying that Trump wanted to come on to the show to respond to a poll, which Trump said was “false.”

But Trump wasn’t done there. He told Todd how he could improve his ratings, made a curious comment about Jon Huntsman’s religion, and took some shots at former President George W. Bush after his top advisor Karl Rove also laughed at the idea of Trump holding any sway in the GOP.

“Karl Rove gave us George Bush and George Bush crashed and burned and because of that we have Obama,” Trump told Todd. “The Republicans need to get rid of Karl Rove and they need fresh blood because Karl Rove is going to lead them into doom.”

You can watch it all below:

Have no feeling one way or the other about Rove, but I still remember when almost every thread on FR had at least one “Rove you magnificent Bastard!!” posts. Boy do times change.

I did NOT like the way Rove torpedoed Christine O'Donnell in the Delaware Senate race, after his boy Mike Castle lost to Christine. He should have been tossed from the Republican Party because of that, and I will forever after look negatively upon any candidate that Rove is hired by.

Thank you for stating the truth about the DE Senate race in 2010.

"But Jon Huntsman? What do you have to lose when you're hovering between 1% and 2%?"

Huntsman is a CFR sock-puppet. Trump is an economic nationalist. Huntsman probably didn't want to lose what little following he has having to answer tough questions on economics and trade policy.

Money talks - well if you have money - people will listen;)

The MSM doesn't care who has money and who doesn't - they trumpet the message of liberals and trash us. What are you talking about? Do you own a TV or have you ever read a newspaper?

“Rove you magnificent Bastard!!”

I used the part that didn’t include “magnificient” and fail to see how it could have been any other way.

Whatever you think of Trump,

Along with blood-for-access Eason Jordon he's setting up a GOP "debate". Fuddle duddle Trump and Jordan, whoever he is. There's precious little info available on him on the internet except a puff piece on Wiki. Can't find out date of birth, place of birth, parents, religion, if any, whatever. Trump should do his birther bit on his new pal.

pot.. kettle... black...

Trump may do a good job slamming easy targets, but he offers conservatives NOTHING! Trump doesn’t advance conservatism, he marginalizes the rightwing agenda. Unless the effort persoanlly benefits TheDonald... its ALL about Trump!

Trump is a charlatan!

Trump says the things that need to be said. I look forward to his Debate—it will be good TV if nothing else. Trump shakes things up—and in these times we need a bit of shaking.
His show will be, I guess, heavy on economics.

Like you I love it when Trump give hell to some of these arrogant idiots...He's not afraid of them, they cannot hurt him in the pocketbook and he will defend his reputation. Its tough for these arrogant idiots when someone shows up that isn't afraid of them and they cannot intimidate...

Slamming Rove is enough for me today. I didn't say I was voting for him or wanted him to run for anything. If all he does is goes around poking people in the eye then he is doing more than some on our side to date. He also called out George Will for having an absolutely terrible record for prognosticating politics. Why anyone listens to that dope, I will never understand.

And, when Rove DOES respond, I can absolutely guarantee that his answer will begin with the words, “Well, look...” :)
