Recently ousted MSNBC host Joy Reid lashed out at President Donald Trump during a recent video for her “Welcome to Joy’s House!” Substack, claiming that he was “the physical embodiment of all of America’s sins.”

Reid spoke with writer Wajahat Ali about the state of American politics, in a conversation that was also featured on Ali’s accounts, and Reid repeatedly attacked both Trump’s character and his appearance.

“People try to say God put him in the White House,” Reid began. “I don’t believe God is that cruel. But in a way, I’m thinking the way you could justify saying that: Donald Trump is the physical embodiment of all of America’s sins.”

“Yeah, I agree completely,” Ali voiced his approval.

Reid then went on to list some of the “sins” that she said justified her position: “He’s sloppy. He’s unkempt. Everything about him is false. His hair is a pretense of non-baldness. He’s old, but his followers try to pretend that he looks like Superman.”

“He’s a terrible businessman and a failure who gets to fake success because he’s white, so banks keep lending him money even when he’s failing,” Reid continued, attempting to make it about race as well. “His father scoops money out of his siblings’ inheritance to give him when he fails. He’s a f***-up but he’s able to be a success because white America keeps saying, ‘No, no, no, that guy is what success looks like.’ He’s only a success on that TV show because when he was at his brokest, he gets hired to be on ‘The Apprentice.'”

She went on to claim that the last time First Lady Melania Trump had allowed her husband to touch her was when their son Barron was born, adding, “He doesn’t believe in marriage. He doesn’t have morality. He got three baby mamas, five children. Everything about him is a lie. He’s not a Christian, but Christians love him. But he embodies the greed, the shamelessness, the lasciviousness of capitalism.”

Reid, who often invokes race to attack Trump and other Republicans, was let go by far left cable news network MSNBC in late February.

First Lady Melania Trump sent what is being called a “peace letter” to Russian President Vladimir Putin ahead of his meeting in Alaska with President Donald Trump, where they discussed what steps needed to be taken to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.

The president, according to a report published Saturday by Fox News Digital, hand-delivered the missive — and the Russian leader read it prior to the much-touted summit on Friday.

In the letter, the First Lady called on Putin to be the one to take the first steps toward lasting peace with Ukraine, saying that children — regardless of where they happened to have been born — deserve better than countries and families torn apart by war.

Dear President Putin,

Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation’s rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger.

As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope. As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few. Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity-filled world for all—so that every soul may wake to peace, and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded.

A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity—an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology.

Trump went on to tell Putin that, should he finally put an end to the bloodshed, he would be able to restore the laughter of many children. “In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone—you serve humanity itself,” she added.

“Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today,” she concluded. “It is time.”

Following the summit, President Trump said that he felt confident the pair had made progress — although he cautioned that the negotiations were certainly not yet over.

“There were many, many points that we agreed on, most of them, I would say. A couple of big ones that we haven’t quite gotten there, but we’ve made some headway. So, there’s no deal until there’s a deal,” he said.

Trump announced via Truth Social on Saturday morning that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would travel to Washington on Monday, and if their meeting went well, he would broker another meeting that also included Putin.
