MSNBC: Trump’s ‘Profound Sexual and Masculine Insecurities’ Threaten To ‘Annihilate’ Planet

‘We all live in a world that could literally be ended in terms of a habitable planet because of the sad man’s insecurities’

President Trump's "profound sexual and masculine insecurities" are "literally threatening to annihilate the planet," an MSNBC contributor claimed Tuesday night.

Author and MSNBC political analyst Anand Giridharadas was responding to a Twitter spat between Trump and North Korea's Kim Jong Un. Jong Un claimed in an annual Jan. 1st speech that, "The entire mainland of the US is within the range of our nuclear weapons and the nuclear button is always on the desk of my office. They should accurately be aware that this is not a threat but a reality."

Trump mocked Jong Un Tuesday night, tweeting in response: "North Korean Leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the “Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times.” Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger & more powerful one than his, and my Button works!"

MSNBC's Giridharadas said Trump's tweets betray sexual insecurities that threaten an extinction level event for planet Earth. 

"As we saw all through 2017, men with profound sexual insecurity can wreak a lot of havoc in the lives of women, in the lives of their families," Giridharadas said. "But perhaps never have we seen a man whose profound sexual and masculine insecurities are literally threatening to annihilate the planet. The way he’s literally capitalizing in that tweet, his nuclear button. Any psychiatrist or psychologist would have a field day with that. But we all live in a world that could literally be ended in terms of a habitable planet because of the sad man’s insecurities."

Here's a transcript:

REID: "This interesting thought from Donald Trump about the size of his nuclear button and the threat that he just put up against the North Korean leader, your thoughts?”

GIRIDHARADAS: “As we saw all through 2017, men with profound sexual insecurity can wreak a lot of havoc in the lives of women, in the lives of their families. But perhaps never have we seen a man whose profound sexual and masculine insecurities are literally threatening to annihilate the planet. The way he’s literally capitalizing in that tweet, his nuclear button. Any psychiatrist or psychologist would have a field day with that. But we all live in a world that could literally be ended in terms of a habitable planet because of the sad man’s insecurities.”

REID: “I’m wondering how then Democrats are supposed to — what do they do with that? A record number of women running for state offices in 2018. A lot of women who are running either for Congress or in their states. How do you even message about somebody that is that extreme in his speech? If you are the Democrats trying to win back control of the Congress?”

GIRIDHARADAS: “I think what’s remarkable, you teed it up well with that segment. Never has there been — 2018, to follow John Dean, never has there been probably a better opportunity to save a republic in our lifetimes. Never has there been a more important thing to do for this country. At the same time, it’s not going to be easy. It’s not going to be as easy as a lot of the people who want to do it — think. One, he is popular with a certain shrinking group of people who are revved up by the very campaigns against him. The more certain people hate him, the more they’re revved up. More importantly, those of us who believe in a kind of new America, a America that’s more inclusive, tolerant, more diverse, more colorful, in which women have more power and voice, have to do a better job of selling that to people who are not die-hard Trumpers, but are not die-hard for the new America either. Who are in that kind of middle. There’s a lot of them. And they’re decent people. Afraid of change, maybe a little bit racist, maybe not a little bit racist. But if for some reason or another, ambivalent between this kind of man and a movement that frankly doesn’t make them feel warm and fuzzy either. I think the central drama of this year is going to be, can the people who believe in that new America, want to fight for it, are sometimes self-confident and self-righteous about it, actually reach out to people and persuade?”
