MSNBC’s Joy Reid perhaps may never come to terms with President-elect Trump’s November victory. Tuesday night’s episode of The ReidOut included the host hilariously downplaying Trump’s entire campaign while ridiculing the various CEOs and Republican politicians who had voiced their support for Trump.
Reid began the segment with the outrageous claim that Trump only ran for president “to make all of his legal problems–poof!–go away.” She gleefully added that he was unsuccessful in his bid to Judge Juan Merchan regarding the guilty conviction from his hush money trial. “Trump will have to live with the infamy of being the first convicted felon president,” Reid cackled.
The MSNBC host continued to reference the recent $15 million settlement in Trump’s defamation suit with ABC News, arguing that he felt “emboldened” various CEOs “willing to comply in advance.” She supported her claim by pointing to LA Times owner Patrick Soon-Shiong who reportedly “requested that the newspaper’s editorial board outright take a break from writing about Trump, and balance any critical editorials or articles with positive ones.”
