Trump Attacks MSNBC Host Joy-Ann Reid

Posted on by Natalia Barreau, DI

Donald Trump found a new target, Joy-Ann Reid, for his continued negative tweets.

What We Know:

  • On September 14, 2019, Donald Trump posted a tweet lashing out at MSNBC’s Joy Reid. “Who the hell is Joy-Ann Reid? Never met her, she knows ZERO about me, has NO talent, and truly doesn’t have the ‘it’ factor needed for success in showbiz…Had a bad reputation, and now works for the Comcast/NBC losers making up phony stories about me. Low Ratings. Fake News!”
  • No one knows where exactly the comments came from but they may have to do with comments Reid made while guest-hosting All in with Chris Hayes on Friday night. On a segment about Trump’s visit to Baltimore for the House GOP retreat, she stated the president was giving Republicans “some smoking hot beauty tips.” She also said he sounded like a “desperate man” and “whether you like me or not it makes no difference because our country will go to Hell if any of these people get in.”
  • This is not Reid’s first time being vocal about her issues with Trump. This past summer in June she published a book titled The Man Who Sold America: Trump and The Unraveling of the American Story. Her critics are not limited to television and print. Earlier this month, she tweeted that Trump “has turned the presidency into a travel agency servicing the Trump Organization.”  
  • After Trump’s tweets, a hashtag for her show, #AMJoy, was trending on Twitter and the host tweeted “Great job getting us trending, #reiders! Can we get our #AMJoy hashtag even higher? Let’s do it!”

With last week’s bashing of Chrissy Teigen, it is unsurprising that Trump has once again used his social media power to target a woman.
