Poor Jr. He was so far out of his league trying to pick a fight with Joy Reid.
MSNBC’s Joy Reid doesn’t play. I don’t know what Don Jr. was thinking, trying to start a Twitter war with her. She shut him down so fast that I almost feel sorry for the idiot. Almost.
On Tuesday night, Donald Trump delivered his first State of the Union speech. And Joy Reid didn’t waste any time getting to her brutal analysis. Apparently Joy’s ability to point out the actual facts really rubbed Don Jr. the wrong way.
After reading Joy’s tweet, Jr. felt the need to jump in and defend his father. But, clearly, Jr. didn’t know who he was messing with when he went after her.
It didn’t really end in a fight. I’d say it was more like a beautiful social media massacre.
This is Joy’s initial tweet that got Jr.’s panties in a bunch:
Church … family … police … military … the national anthem … Trump trying to call on all the tropes of 1950s-era nationalism. The goal of this speech appears to be to force the normalization of Trump on the terms of the bygone era his supporters are nostalgic for. #SOTU

Here was Jr.’s response on Wednesday morning:
Apparently Church, Family, Police, Military, and The National Anthem are things the left hates. I think we would all be a lot better off if we embraced those values that allowed us to become the greatest nation in the world. https://t.co/IxBv2s1It4

Joy could’ve just ignored little Donny’s antagonistic tweet. But she didn’t. Instead, she came out both barrels blazing. And she put out a series of tweets just destroying Donald Trump and his State of the Union speech. Joy showed up to the fight armed with the facts.
The fun part is, Trump doesn’t actually embody any of the values he’s harkening back to. Faith? He panders to the religious far right but claims he’s never even asked God for forgiveness. Family? He has flouted his marriage vows with porn stars and is accused by multiple women

And as for the military, Trump’s seeming eagerness to flirt with war with North Korea can’t be heartening. Trump is putting on a show; allowing his base to reminisce about an Ozzie and Harriet past they don’t even really value anymore based on their support for his “values.”

Bottom line: the first half of Trump’s #SOTU speech was pure pabulum: GOP family values boilerplate that the party traded in for demographic rage and reality show vulgarity by backing him. The second half was the dark matter Trumpism actually represents:

Anti-immigrant, backward looking, anti-innovation, and anti-progress. And of course his base loved every minute of it.

After all that, Jr. didn’t have the nerve to say another word to her. Bravo Joy!
