Her assertions echo earlier criticisms she has made of Trump, often labeling him as a demagogue whose policies could devastate the American economy. She warned that Trump’s immigration stance, which includes plans to deport millions of illegal immigrants, would “send our economy into a freefall.”
But Reid’s rhetoric escalated when she suggested that Trump’s victory would result in nothing less than a “Hitlerian dictatorship.” Reid remarked, “The question now for America is, have we gotten to the point where we would destroy our own economy and walk willingly into a Hitlerian dictatorship because of the fear Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies are perpetuating solely for their own political benefit.”
This isn’t the first time Joy Reid has drawn parallels between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. In fact, her comparisons of Trump to the infamous dictator have become a recurring theme in her commentary, often drawing sharp criticism for contributing to a toxic political climate. Some have gone so far as to accuse Reid of inciting political violence, particularly after two separate assassination attempts against Trump were thwarted in recent years.
Her remarks about Trump’s influence on political violence are not new. In May of this year, Reid posted a TikTok video in which she claimed that she would vote for Joe Biden, even if he were in a coma, to prevent Trump from returning to power. “If it’s Biden in a coma, I’m going to vote for Biden in a coma,” Reid stated. “Yeah, Hitler, White House, we’re keeping him out.”
Despite the strong rhetoric and her clear disdain for the former president, Reid’s statements have yet to face significant backlash from her colleagues or higher-ups at MSNBC. Her frequent comparisons between Trump and Hitler have become more common as the 2024 election draws closer, leading to concerns about the inflammatory nature of such discourse.
Reid also took aim at Project 2025, a policy initiative associated with Trump’s campaign, saying that preventing its implementation was of paramount importance. “We’re keeping Project 2025 out — that’s all I care about. Up and down the ballot, from the rooter to the tooter, school board all the way up to the White House and everything in between,” she said in her TikTok video.
Bold, Durable, and Patriotic: Trump Yard Signs Selling Out!
Reid’s choice of words—often described as extreme and divisive—has earned her a reputation as one of the most controversial figures on MSNBC. However, her dedicated audience sees her as a truth-teller in the face of what they perceive as dangerous authoritarianism from the right. For others, her relentless attacks on Trump and his supporters cross the line, fueling a political environment that is already deeply polarized.
As the nation gears up for the 2024 election, it is clear that the political rhetoric from both sides will only intensify. Reid’s latest comments highlight just how divided the political landscape has become, with each side viewing the other not just as opposition, but as a threat to the very fabric of American democracy.
In the meantime, the comparisons between Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler will likely continue, as Reid and other progressive voices warn of the dangers they see in his potential return to the White House. Whether her words will resonate with the broader electorate or contribute to the further entrenchment of partisan divides remains to be seen. However, one thing is certain—Joy Reid is not backing down from her war of words with Trump and his supporters.
