MSNBC host Joy Reid had to put little Donald Trump Jr. in the corner with a dunce cap after he called himself attacking her on Twitter trying to show daddy he was a big boy.
Junior was replying to a tweet by Reid in which the upitty black journalist dared to question the motives of his daddy. Reid tweeted:
“1950s-era nationalism” President Trump presented Tuesday night. “Church … family … police … military … the national anthem,” Reid tweeted, calling the way Trump presented the concepts as “terms of the bygone era his supporters are nostalgic for.”
Church … family … police … military … the national anthem … Trump trying to call on all the tropes of 1950s-era nationalism. The goal of this speech appears to be to force the normalization of Trump on the terms of the bygone era his supporters are nostalgic for. #SOTU

Trump’s oldest boy jumped on the opportunity to improve his odds in the family’s inheritance lottery and promptly attacked the MSNBC host. In his reply, Junior idiotically claimed that Reid’s tweet was proof that “the left” hated American ideals and institutions.
Apparently Church, Family, Police, Military, and The National Anthem are things the left hates. I think we would all be a lot better off if we embraced those values that allowed us to become the greatest nation in the world. https://t.co/IxBv2s1It4

However, Reid wasn’t finished. The host then went on to thoroughly school Junior and his fellow Trump sycophants on why his daddy was full of shit by using detailed facts and examples. She went on to give a glorious breakdown of the president’s hypocrisy.
of sexual harassment and worse. Law enforcement? Sure, he is leading the culture war against NFL players who kneel to oppose police killing black civilians, but he and House Republicans are also waging war on federal law enforcement.

“Trump is putting on a show,” Reid noted, “allowing his base to reminisce about an Ozzie and Harriet past they don’t even really value anymore,” she said.
And as for the military, Trump’s seeming eagerness to flirt with war with North Korea can’t be heartening. Trump is putting on a show; allowing his base to reminisce about an Ozzie and Harriet past they don’t even really value anymore based on their support for his “values.”

Reid hit Trump on his purposeful exclusion of immigrants when he spoke of “family values.”
Bottom line: the first half of Trump’s #SOTU speech was pure pabulum: GOP family values boilerplate that the party traded in for demographic rage and reality show vulgarity by backing him. The second half was the dark matter Trumpism actually represents:

The teacher concluded her lesson with a brutal slam on Trump’s ignorant “base” before dropping the mic.
Anti-immigrant, backward looking, anti-innovation, and anti-progress. And of course his base loved every minute of it.
