On Sunday's edition of The Weekend on MSNBC, weeknight host Chris Hayes questioned Trump's machismo for imposing higher tariffs on Canada and Mexico than on China. He's tougher on allies than on adversaries, because that's easier, less risky.
He even claimed Trump has been "extremely generous to adversaries" like Russia and China.
HAYES: He likes the conflict, he likes to project strength, but he's sort of a coward fundamentally. And the stakes of actual conflict and fights with adversaries is much higher. And so this is a way of kind of, a little bit of bullying, and cake and eat it too, where he can, like, play tough against Justin Trudeau, which is a very different thing than playing tough against Xi.
Co-host Symone Sanders analogized it to Trump's treatment of Gavin Newsom. While blasting Newsom in public, Trump, according to Sanders, is very polite to him in person. Sanders put on a soft voice, supposedly imitating Trump: "Hey, how are you doing? Good to see you."
That's when Steele stepped in:
"And he says it like that [puts on effeminate voice]: "Hey, how are you doing? [laughs]. It's kind of a little Mike Tyson voice."

Michael Steele is such a small minded man.
Next time Steele runs into Tyson, perhaps he’d like to mock him to his face about his “little” voice.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
His voice seemed quite strong after the assassin’s bullet clipped his ear Mr. Stelle.
How we have changed, Steele once having been the RNC Chair.
Michael Steele was the RNC chair. That’s how much contempt conservatives were held in by the Bushies. The RINOs must be driven out of the GOP, never to return.
hole....deep....clearly not ceasing to dig
It’s like listening to a bunch of high school girls.
Is the new 10% on China in addition to some tariff already ON China? My beady little mind thinks so.
Shaddup Mike, you RINO! I am sorry I voted for you in MD!
Michael Who?
BTW Wasn’t Tyson the undisputed heavyweight champ at one time?
“Just Saying.”
That prolly was a DEI hire, before its time. Steele screwed it up, anyhow.
What a pathetic POS. Before he became Chairman of the DNC, Republicans held both Houses of Congress. Once he took over the Chair, Democrats got control and kept control of both Houses of Congress throughout his term. He only held the position for two years from 2009 to 2011, but oversaw a RAT takeover.
The network is averaging 45,000 viewers from the demo. Less a thousand per state. If Blackrock and Vangaurd weren’t propping them up for the cause they would be gone.
I’ve heard Patton’s voice described as flute-like. Bet I wouldn’t be smiling or smirking if he was chewing my ass.
A man nobody likes on a network nobody watches.
Thanks for keeping us informed.
MS deserves to be hated by by the GOP. Stinking rat traitor.
He was a fraud and knew he didn’t belong. Must be h hard trying to pass for a qualified man, huh, Steele?
I remember Rush pimping this guy. Even the great one got it wrong occasionally.
Steele was our ORIGINAL DEI HIRE!! BAD MOVE!! INCOMPETENT NITWIT!
