MSNBC’s Joy Reid wondered whether Donald Trump sounded more like an authoritarian than a normal U.S. president Tuesday.

Reid, who was guest hosting “All In with Chris Hayes,” said, “I wonder, maybe it’s my lens of looking at Donald Trump from this side looking outward. But the way Trump sounds, I wonder if your view, sounds more like the authoritarian governments he’s purportedly criticizing than a typical American president?” (RELATED: MSNBC Guest Compares Trump To A Literal Neo-Nazi Leader [VIDEO])
After Trump criticized the “deep state” Justice Department in a tweet Tuesday, many in the media have accused Trump of being authoritarian.
CNN guest Richard Painter accused Trump earlier in the day of governing like a “communist” or “fascist,” adding, “Donald Trump is a very dangerous man. He does not belong in the Presidency. And I voted republican, and I wan’t to continue to vote Republican, but I’m not going to support any member of the House or Senate who continues to support this president. He’s extremely dangerous.” (RELATED: CNN Panelist: Trump Governing America Like A ‘Communist’ Or ‘Fascist’ Dictator [VIDEO])
