Chuck Todd is a pretty poor journalist, but his eyes don't look particularly 'sleepy' to me. Well, see- he's Jewish.
"The term's origin comes from a list of criteria used by NAZIS to determine who might be a Jew.
This list includes traits such as a widow's peak, dark curly hair, attached earlobes, weak or pointed chins, thick lips, head shape, and thick eyelids with "sleepy, wary eyes."
That list naturally found it's way to various neo-Nazi, White Supremacist, and other anti-Semitic groups after WWII. "How to spot a jew" is a common search phrase on Google, and the results are hundreds of variations on this list of Nazi-originated criteria. Chuck Todd *is* Jewish, a fact that Trump most certainly knows.
It is unlikely in the extreme that Trump would pick "sleepy eyes Chuck Todd" as an insult at random and without malice aforethought.
While Trump himself may or may not know the origin of the insult and who commonly uses that insult today, it's obvious he surrounds himself with people (*cough*Stephen Miller*cough*) who use this term openly in the halls of government and business.
The President of the United States calling a Jewish person "sleepy eyes" isn't funny or clever or harmless.
If Trump DOESN'T honestly know that he's engaged in an anti-Semitic slur, that doesn't make it better, it makes it WORSE. "

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
