Chuck Todd: I Have Never Seen Trump Laugh

NBC'S Chuck Todd, who has interviewed Donald Trump numerous times, said he's never seen the president-elect laugh.

"(It) drives me crazy," Todd, the network's "Meet the Press" host said in an interview for Politico's "Off Message" podcast. "Do you know what? I've never seen him laugh.

"I challenged somebody to find him laughing, and that person has yet to find an example, in my opinion.

"He'll smile, but he smiles appropriately. Watch him at the Al Smith dinner (the roast in New York City in October) ... He doesn't really laugh. He looks for others to laugh. It is just weird."

But Todd said he finds one more thing odd about Trump, Politico reports. After several appearances on Todd's Sunday show, Trump would watch a replay — without sound.

"Then there's the amount of time he spends after the interview is over, with the sound off," Todd told Politico. "He wants to see what it all looked like. He will watch the whole thing on mute.

"He's a very visual guy. He thinks this way, and look, it's an important insight in just understanding him. The visual stuff is very real beyond just himself."
