Elie Mystal appeared on MSNBC’s The ReidOut to discuss Donald Trump.
Conversing about Trump’s “despicable” career, Reid said, “Also to do things Elie, that one would think are career-ending the way he desecrated Arlington National Cemetery would be career-ending for a normal politician, but his constant lies,” Reid said. “But even this piece about saying, ‘Well, my building was the tallest until, you know, they brought down the World Trade Center. Now it’s the second tallest.’ I mean, everything he does is despicable.”
Mystal said that Trump’s career has not ended because “his supporters are just as despicable.”
“All right? Like Trump’s whole thing, he’s a narcissist, right? And so his whole thing is to have a complete lack of compassion and empathy for everybody else,” Mystal claimed. “It’s all about him. That’s why he lies about 9/11 it’s all about him, him, him, me, me, me. It’s— he’s probably the least compassionate president we’ve had in 200 years since Andrew Jackson.”
Mystal added that Trump’s supporters are “just as ungenerous and have just as little compassion and empathy for others.”
Reid noted that Trump “hates the people they hate.”
