King Donald the First? Joy Reid is rattled by the prospect that such could actually come to be!

On her MSNBC show this morning, Reid warned that President Trump—aided and abetted by that dastardly AG Bill Barr—might be planning to "expand his power under the guise of national security" to achieve the goal he has "always" had: "reigning as a monarch with unlimited power rather than serving as a mere president in a democracy."

Reid also mocked the president as "Apprentice Guy." Speaking of which, Reid—at least so far—has never heard those dreaded words, "you're fired!" This despite having made multiple homophobic posts and then claiming without evidence that her account had been "hacked."

Dispatch from the Department of Damned if You Do, Damned if You Don't: Just two days ago, MSNBC's sister network was pushing the idea of a "nationwide lockdown" for at least two weeks. But when President Trump floated the idea of something similar for just three states, suddenly it's an unconstitutional power grab!
