MSNBC AM Joy Host Joy Reid appeared on Tuesday’s The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, where she bashed President Trump’s response to Hurricane Harvey. Playing the armchair psychologist, Reid said Trump lacked the ability to empathize or “understand” the depth of the “misery” the citizens of Houston, Texas are experiencing right now.
Host Trevor Noah didn’t ask the MSNBC host about her latest patently false tweet, which spread panic by claiming that Trump hadn’t hired a FEMA director. He didn’t ask about the firestorm of criticism that she faced for spreading that lie, either. Instead, he centered the discussion on Trump (what else?)
Right from the start Noah mocked Trump’s word choice in describing Hurricane Harvey, as some sort of evidence of a narcissistic personality:
He said this is the biggest disaster-- it's almost saying ‘the greatest-the biggest’ disaster of all time. I struggle with Donald Trump--do you think he's proud of having it be, like, the biggest disaster? I genuinely don't know with him. I don't know if he's bragging about the scale of it. I don't know if this is something-- what do you make of how he speaks about the hurricane?
