President Donald Trump demanded MSNBC pay restitution for 'damaging' the nation and branded host Joy Reid a 'mentally obnoxious racist' after learning her show had been canceled.
The move to fire Reid was announced on Sunday, prompting Trump to lash out at the liberal network amid a months-long ratings dip that led to a frantic staff realignment in a desperate attempt to stay relevant.
The embattled network faced its lowest-rated January in history in the highly sought-after 25-54 demographic, which is of great importance to advertisers due to the group's spending power.
Trump began his broadside of MSNBC by referring to Brian Roberts, the head of its parent company Comcast, as the 'Lowlife Chairman of "Concast."'
'The owner of ratings challenged NBC and MSDNC has finally gotten the nerve up to fire one of the least talented people in television, the mentally obnoxious racist, Joy Reid,' Trump posted on his Truth Social page.
'Based on her ratings, which were virtually non-existent, she should have been "canned" long ago, along with everyone else who works there.'
Trump then cited a litany of fellow hosts he felt deserved his derision, including Al Sharpton and Rachel Maddow. The latter, the president claimed, 'rarely shows up because she knows there's nobody watching and she also knows that she's got less television persona than virtually anyone on television except, perhaps, Joy Reid.'
'This whole corrupt operation is nothing more than an illegal arm of the Democrat Party,' Trump added.
'They should be forced to pay vast sums of money for the damage they've done to our country. Fake News is an UNPARDONABLE SIN!'

Since 1/20/2025 I started watching joe and ho and cnn for a short time in the AM just for giggles.
I hate to double their ratings but sometimes they are so outrageous that it is hysterically funny.
I can't take much more than 20 minutes of that stuff, not only are they stupid they are blinded by pure hatred and rage.
The krauts had it right with a single word, "schadenfreude". Taking extreme pleasure from your enemy's misery, and the more misery they suffer the greater degree of pleasure you derive.
Talk about kicking a dog when it is down. He should buy the network and make it Conservative.
The pygmy cannibal Reid should be deported to the Congo, where they specialize in eating human flesh.
An anchor baby, born to illegal alien parents should never be on an FCC licensed broadcaster.
“branded host Joy Reid a ‘mentally obnoxious racist’”
Excellent move - use their insults on them.
“It’s enough :) It’s not her fault, she’s usually just watching the news for noise in the background while she does other things.”
Sounds harmless, but it’s like subliminal ads - even though you may not be paying attention the words still infect your brain.
