MSNBC’s liberal commentator Joy Reid wondered Tuesday if President Donald Trump’s July Fourth celebration plans that may include tanks as a threatening message to “the resistance.”
She also claimed, without proof, that Trump “loves” tyrants including Kim Jong Un.
JOY REID, MSNBC: What is the message that’s meant to be sent by the military armada that’s rolling down the streets of Paris? It’s a message to tyrants. What Bastille Day represents is the victory over the tyrannical rule, over the king. And over the attempt for the king to return. The storming of the Bastille was about victory over tyrants. What is the message when Kim Jong Un rolls tanks down the streets of his capital? The message is to democracies.
The message is to people like us, to western democracies, you better be careful because we, the unified Korean, North Korean people, will defeat you. We have nukes. Be afraid of us. So what is the message Donald Trump is trying to send by rolling tanks down Constitution Avenue? Who is that message to?
It’s certainly not to tyrants because he loves tyrants. He loves tyrants. It’s not to Putin. It’s not to Kim Jong Un, not to the Saudis. Is it to our friends, to western democracies who he doesn’t particularly like, or is it to us? Is it to the resistance in this country. I’ve got tanks. I have this military armada. The message is a threat. But it’s always a threat when you roll out your military. But it’s to whom is the threat, and I suspect that the threat is to his fellow Americans. And I hate to say that, but I think that Donald Trump styles himself a tyrant, not a defeater of tyrants.
