Trump Celebrates MSNBC Cancelling Joy Reid's Show

MSNBC announced the cancellation of Joy Reid's show, The ReidOut, as part of a network overhaul led by new president Rebecca Kutler. Reid confirmed the news on social media, stating she would present her show one last time. Following the announcement, former President Donald Trump took to Truth Social, labeling Reid a 'mentally obnoxious racist' and criticizing the network for its ratings, claiming it should pay for the 'damage' done to the country. Trump's tirade also targeted fellow MSNBC hosts Rachel Maddow and Al Sharpton, whom he described as having low ratings. The cancellation reportedly sparked outrage among MSNBC staff who learned of the decision through media reports rather than internal communication. Reid has been a vocal critic of Trump, and her show has been on air since 2020, following her tenure at the network since 2014.
