Chuck Todd Cries Over Slashed Tires and Blames Trump Again Because Democrats Never Take Responsibility

Chuck Todd, the former face of NBC’s “Meet the Press,” has once again taken to the airwaves to paint himself as the helpless victim of the big bad orange man.

In a recent interview with Times Radio in the United Kingdom, Todd—now banished from mainstream television and left to rant on a solo podcast—shared a dramatic tale of slashed tires and mysterious phone calls, all supposedly triggered by one thing: Donald Trump saying his name.

You read that right. According to Todd, the moment Trump dared to utter “Chuck Todd,” the world came crashing down on his driveway. His car tires were slashed. He got weird calls. He received threats.

And just like that, the NBC veteran decided the best way to cope wasn’t to investigate or protect his property—it was to whine in a British interview.

Chuck Todd’s story fits neatly into the tired narrative Democrats and legacy media continue to peddle: that Trump is not just a political rival, but a walking security threat.

Never mind the fact that Todd has spent the better part of the last decade attacking Trump on national television, mocking his every word, slanting coverage, and enabling a media ecosystem that actively suppresses conservative voices.

When any of that comes back at him in the form of criticism or public backlash, suddenly Todd becomes the delicate journalist just trying to do his job.

Let’s be very clear here: Chuck Todd was never an unbiased moderator or a neutral host. He was a political operative in disguise. His tenure on “Meet the Press” was marked by blatant favoritism, smug moralizing, and relentless anti-Trump rhetoric.

If Todd was genuinely shocked that being a vocal and consistent critic of the most popular Republican figure in modern history brought some heat his way, then maybe he’s more clueless than he lets on.

But the truth is, Todd knew exactly what he was doing—and now, as his influence fades, he’s looking for someone to blame.

The story he told to Times Radio host Maddie Hale was dripping with self-importance. He claimed there was a “direct correlation” between Trump naming him and a supposed spike in threats.

“He’d call your name out, [and] you’d get weird phone calls, you’d get weird death threats,” Todd declared dramatically. “I got my tires slashed in front of my house.” As if Trump supporters across America are just sitting around listening for a name-drop so they can sprint into action with a switchblade.

What’s more likely is that Todd—like many public figures—received the same kind of unpleasant calls that any controversial commentator does. This is not unique to Trump critics.

It’s the internet age. Everyone in the public sphere, from YouTubers to governors, gets their fair share of harassment.

And if Todd’s tires were really slashed, maybe, just maybe, it had nothing to do with Trump and everything to do with Todd’s own neighborhood in Arlington, Virginia—a suburb not exactly known for its MAGA militias.

But Chuck didn’t stop there. He claimed to have had a “conversation” with President Trump about it. “Honestly, I’ve had conversations with him,” he told Hale.

“I said, ‘You know, when you name-check people who are not in the public square, who do not have the protection you bring a level of—’” Then, in classic Todd fashion, he trailed off before completing a coherent thought.

Maybe he forgot the script. Maybe he hoped his half-sentence would sound profound. Either way, the melodrama continued.

He then added, almost as an afterthought, that he doesn’t believe Trump has “malicious intent” when he calls people out. But of course, that wouldn’t stop him from implying Trump is indirectly responsible for an “epidemic” of threats.

“The reality is that it creates a security problem,” Todd warned ominously. Apparently, the act of naming a public figure in a political disagreement now counts as incitement. Using that logic, half of Washington would be culpable for some crime or another.

But Todd wasn’t done trying to sound like the oracle of democracy’s downfall. He lamented that more public officials in D.C. now require personal security than ever before.

“More public officials in Washington have their own security detail now than at any point in the 30 years that I’ve covered Washington,” he said. The implication was clear: Trump is to blame.

Never mind the countless protests, riots, and threats fueled by far-left activists. Never mind the justices whose homes were surrounded by demonstrators after Supreme Court decisions the Left didn’t like. Nope—it’s all because Trump dared to call out the media.

Let’s take a step back. Chuck Todd, like many in the media class, believes that calling out journalists is an act of violence. Yet, his own industry has no problem calling Republican voters racists, calling Christians bigots, or labeling parents at school board meetings as “domestic terrorists.”

That’s not hyperbole—that’s documented. The Department of Justice was weaponized to investigate parents. Trump supporters were labeled as dangerous extremists. But when the shoe is on the other foot—when someone dares to criticize Chuck Todd—it’s suddenly a threat to national security.

This isn’t journalism. This is narcissism. Todd wants the power of the press without the accountability that comes with it. He wants to throw rhetorical punches and never get hit back.

But that’s not how free speech works. Trump, like any American, has the right to criticize the media, especially when that media spends 24/7 trying to undermine his presidency and vilify his supporters.

What Todd wants is a one-way street of commentary—and he’s mad that Trump refuses to play by those rules.

What’s even more pathetic is that Todd is trying to rebrand himself now that he’s no longer on prime-time TV. Launching a solo podcast is fine—welcome to the club—but don’t pretend like it’s some noble act of journalism when it’s just another platform to cry about Trump.

His career at NBC ended not with fireworks, but with a whimper, and now he’s scrambling to stay relevant. What better way to generate clicks than to rehash the Trump boogeyman story for the hundredth time?

Chuck Todd’s latest interview is not a news story. It’s a tantrum. It’s a washed-up anchor pining for the days when he could use a multimillion-dollar studio to push his narratives unchecked.

But the game has changed. Trump changed it. The American people changed it. And Chuck Todd can’t stand the fact that his era of smug, elitist, echo-chamber journalism is coming to an end.

The irony is that while Todd complains about Trump “deflecting blame,” he’s doing exactly that. Instead of examining why Americans distrust the media, instead of reflecting on why Trump’s message resonates, Todd blames Trump for slashed tires.

He blames Trump for angry voicemails. He blames Trump for the fact that people no longer worship at the altar of corporate journalism. Maybe if Todd spent less time playing the victim and more time doing honest journalism, he wouldn’t be in this mess.

President Trump has been under attack from the media since before he was even elected. Every move he made was scrutinized, twisted, and exaggerated.

Yet, in spite of it all, he still commands loyalty, still packs stadiums, and still dominates the political conversation. Why? Because he never backed down from calling out people like Chuck Todd.

Because he stood up to the media machine and said what millions of Americans were thinking. That’s not incitement—that’s leadership.

So cry all you want, Chuck. Blame Trump for your tires, your voicemails, your ratings slump. But don’t expect the public to buy it.

Don’t expect conservatives to apologize for rejecting your condescension. And don’t expect Trump to stop speaking the truth just because it makes you uncomfortable.

Because the truth is, your credibility wasn’t slashed by a knife—it was deflated by your own hypocrisy.

And that, Chuck, is entirely your fault.
