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."

Steele is dealing with internalized negro-phobia
I remember when Steele was promoted by the GOP as a conservative.
Steele sucked so bad at RNC Chair.
He made the case that DEI hires suck.
Hes like the Paul Krugman of politics
Indeed.
This guy had me fooled many years ago when he first burst on the scene. I had high hopes for him, but he quickly flamed out.
All the Bushies had us fooled.
Steele is a stupid little C**t.
Steele was never chair of the DNC, it was the RNC.
Steele was never chair of the DNC, it was the RNC.
Back then, what was the difference?
Thanks, I meant to write RNC at the time, but wrote DNC. Thought I had, because I knew full well he was a member of the GOPe. I’d like to know if he got any money from USAID like Bill Kristol did. Wouldn’t’ surprise me. I’ll bet plenty of the Trump-haters did. I hope we find out where every penny went.
He is one of the worst excuses for a human being that I have seen. Just pitiful. He should have been a damn cotton picking slave 200 years ago. What a worthless scum!
