Joy Reid criticized for calling Trump and his grandkids ‘cold and clinical’: “Keep kids out of politics”. MSNBC journalist and political analyst Joy Reid has faced backlash for her recent comments about former President Donald Trump’s grandchildren. During a news segment, Reid suggested that Trump’s interactions with his grandchildren seemed “cold and clinical” and didn’t feel real.
This sparked outrage among Trump supporters, who accused Reid of crossing a line and targeting Trump’s family. Congressman John Peters tweeted, “She needs to be fired! This is definitely the furthest thing from journalism. Just think if someone said that about the other side. Just think about the outrage but it’s okay for them to speak it. Wow, she needs to be fired.”
Other netizens also defended Trump’s relationship with his grandchildren, with one user saying, “Joy Reid gushes over the undying love of Joe and Jill Biden, bashes the Trump family and Trump’s moments with his granddaughter as ‘cold and clinical…it didn’t feel real.’ Joy forgot to mention how real Biden’s relationship feels with the granddaughter he’s never met.”
Another user added, “World-class mom here. I can pick up the slightest thing anyone does that could be harmful to a child. I was so impressed by how comfortable Eric’s little girl was on Trump’s lap. Dogs and children can’t be fooled. Trump is a special granddad. His little granddaughter showed us that.”

Reid’s comments have sparked a debate about keeping children out of politics. One user suggested, “Why don’t you keep family members who are not involved in the political process out of it?”
Reid has been a vocal critic of Trump and has previously praised President Biden’s family, saying, “That is the kind of couple they are. Even just reading the pool note and the closeness of this family, it is another contrast with the other family [the Trumps] that’s on the table.”
However, her recent comments about Trump’s grandchildren have been widely criticized, with many accusing her of hypocrisy and crossing a line.
The controversy has also sparked a wider debate about the role of the media in politics. Some have argued that Reid’s comments are an example of the media’s bias against Trump and his family, while others have defended her right to express her opinion.
As the debate continues, it’s clear that Reid’s comments have struck a nerve. While some have defended her right to express her opinion, others have accused her of crossing a line and targeting Trump’s family.
In the end, it’s up to the viewers to decide. Will they continue to watch Reid’s show, or will they tune out in protest? Only time will tell.
Reid’s comments have also sparked a wider debate about the role of children in politics. Some have argued that children should be off-limits in political debates, while others have argued that they are fair game.
