Former MSNBC host Joy Reid has called for President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate to be seized and converted into a “Black, LGBTQ, women’s, AAPI & immigrant history museum” as revenge for his White House East Wing demolition.

Reid’s Vengeful Vision for Trump’s Property

Reid took to the social media platform Bluesky to express her fury over Trump’s White House renovations. Her post revealed a disturbing fantasy about weaponizing government power against political opponents. “I pray that a future president if we still have a democracy will erase every trace of Trump’s existence,” she wrote, advocating for the complete destruction of Trump’s legacy and property seizure.

Comparing Trump to Dictators While Advocating Authoritarian Tactics

During a conversation with former GOP strategist Steve Schmidt, Reid declared Trump “not an American president” and claimed his East Wing demolition represented an attack on democracy itself. The irony seems lost on Reid that her own calls for erasing political opponents mirror the authoritarian tactics she claims to oppose. Her suggestion that future administrations should systematically destroy all traces of a former president represents the kind of political persecution typically seen in banana republics.

False Claims About Taxpayer Funding Exposed

Reid amplified her criticism through TikTok videos, falsely claiming American taxpayers would bear the cost of Trump’s ballroom construction during a government shutdown. She painted a dire picture of hungry Americans while Trump supposedly wasted tax dollars on luxury amenities. However, her narrative collapsed when major corporations including Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Microsoft, and ironically, Comcast—her former employer’s parent company—were revealed as private donors funding the entire project.

The Fall of a Controversial Media Figure

Reid’s latest outburst comes after MSNBC fired her earlier this year following a series of inflammatory social media posts that gave network executives significant concerns. Sources revealed that Reid compared Latino Republicans to concentration camp guards and suggested media coverage of Ukraine was racially motivated because victims were “white and largely Christian.” Network executives had been plotting her departure since late 2023, ultimately offering her a reduced contract in hopes she would quit voluntarily.

Reid’s call for property seizure and the erasure of political opponents reveals the authoritarian impulses lurking beneath progressive rhetoric about democracy and tolerance. Her demands represent exactly the kind of political persecution that undermines democratic institutions, making her complaints about threats to democracy particularly hollow.
