Reality show star and real estate mogul Donald Trump floated the idea that there might be someone better to host NBC’s Sunday political talk show “Meet the Press” than the current host Chuck Todd, who he described as a “moron.”

That someone? Trump himself.

Todd took a swipe at Trump on the program Sunday, Business Insider reported, saying “Nobody’s going to mistake Donald Trump for a presidential candidate … other than Donald Trump.”
