President-elect Donald Trump is not playing games with Hamas terrorists but MSNBC’s Joy Reid has a problem with his hard-line warning on the release of hostages.
With an estimated 63 hostages, some American, still being held inside Gaza more than one year after the Hamas attack on Israel, Trump is warning the Iranian-backed terrorist group that there will be a reckoning if hostages are not released by the time he is inaugurated in January. This, for the host of “The ReidOut” is akin to a mob boss demand.
Reid’s level of Trump Derangement Syndrome had her blasting the incoming 47th president as a “gangster” for his no-nonsense approach to dealing with the Middle East thugs, comparing him to Tony Soprano from the HBO show “The Sopranos.”
Joy Reid: “This is how Trump operates on the world stage. He acts like he’s everybody’s boss, like he’s the king of the world…”
She says this like it’s a bad thing.
Much better than Biden, who acts like he’s everybody’s bitch.

After complaining about Trump “muscling other countries” like Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa over tariffs, Reid went on to snark about how the president-elect is “demanding Hamas release all hostages being held in Gaza before his inauguration, or there will be, ‘all hell to pay in the Middle East.’”
Evidently, the MSNBC host would rather the hostages continue to be held even longer.
“Everybody is talking about the hostages who are being held so violently, inhumanely, and against the will of the entire World, in the Middle East – But it’s all talk, and no action!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post this week.
“Please let this TRUTH serve to represent that if the hostages are not released prior to January 20, 2025, the date that I proudly assume Office as President of the United States, there will be ALL HELL TO PAY in the Middle East, and for those in charge who perpetrated these atrocities against Humanity,” he continued.
“Those responsible will be hit harder than anybody has been hit in the long and storied History of the United States of America. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW!”” Trump added, earning praise from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“President Trump put the emphasis in the right place, on Hamas, and not on the Israeli government, as is customary [elsewhere],” Netanyahu said ahead of a cabinet meeting this week, according to Reuters.
“This is the way to bring back the hostages: by increasing the pressure and the costs for Hamas and its supporters, and defeating them, rather than giving in to their absurd demands,” Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich reportedly said.
On social media, Joy Reid was raked over the coals for her “disgusting” take.
Literally an advertisement for my alpha male based president!

Does she fail to see the obvious source of gangsterism here I wonder?
