MSNBC's Michael Steele Mocks Trump For Supposed High-Pitched 'Little Mike Tyson' Voice #Political
On Sunday's edition of The Weekend on MSNBC, weeknight host Chris Hayes questioned Trump's machismo for imposing higher tariffs on Canada and Mexico than on China. He's tougher on allies than on adversaries, because that's easier, less risky.
He even claimed Trump has been "extremely generous to adversaries" like Russia and China.
HAYES: He likes the conflict, he likes to project strength, but he's sort of a coward fundamentally. And the stakes of actual conflict and fights with adversaries is much higher. And so this is a way of kind of, a little bit of bullying, and cake and eat it too, where he can, like, play tough against Justin Trudeau, which is a very different thing than playing tough against Xi.
Co-host Symone Sanders analogized it to Trump's treatment of Gavin Newsom. While blasting Newsom in public, Trump, according to Sanders, is very polite to him in person. Sanders put on a soft voice, supposedly imitating Trump: "Hey, how are you doing? Good to see you."
That's when Steele stepped in:
"And he says it like that [puts on effeminate voice]: "Hey, how are you doing? [laughs]. It's kind of a little Mike Tyson voice."
As you'll see in the screencap, Sanders, Alicia Menendez, and Hayes were amused by Steele's mocking. How do you think they would have reacted if a conservative had similarly mocked a liberal's voice?
I've never heard Trump employ such a voice. But apparently there is something wrong with that in Steele's mind. Questioning manhood in the same sentence as Mike Tyson. Next time Steele runs into Tyson, perhaps he'd like to mock him to his face about his "little" voice.

The Weekend
2/2/25
8:10 am ETMICHAEL STEELE: Chris, what do you think the siren call is for Trump relative, because you touched on it, relative to these three players: Mexico, Canada, and China.
My, my assessment is, yeah, he projects he hates China. You know, he, everything is, you know, China bad, China bad. Yet, they're not penalized to here the way our allies are, our friends to the north and the south, you know?
Instead of, you know, let's negotiate a border deal with Mexico and Canada if you're concerned about fentanyl and drugs coming. Oh, by the way, Donald Trump, the largest purveyor of fentanyl coming into the country are United States citizens, not Mexicans. So, just so you know.
What do you think that siren call is for him relative to China? What is he hearing that actually weakens him when it comes to China? A lot of bloviating, not much agitation with respect to things like tariffs.
CHRIS HAYES: So here is a consistent thing that he's done. He, I think he likes the attention that conflict draws. He likes conflict with allies as opposed to actual adversaries. He is routinely and consistently picking fights, tougher on getting into conflicts with allies and sort of, you know, extremely generous to adversaries.
I mean, look at the way he talks about, look at the way he talks about Russia, obviously, the fact that China's getting off relatively cost-free here compared to allies. But look at the way he talks about NATO, the way he talks about Canada, the way he talks about Mexico.
Like, what it is for him is, he likes the conflict, he likes to project strength, but he's sort of a coward fundamentally. And the stakes of actual conflict and fights with adversaries is much higher. And so this is a way of kind of, a little bit of bullying, and cake and eat it too, where he can, like, play tough against Justin Trudeau, which is a very different thing than playing tough against Xi.
SYMONE SANDERS: I just know it's what he did with, um, it's what he does with Gavin Newsom --
STEELE: Yeah, exactly.
SANDERS: -- or any Democrat he says he doesn't like. He's all talk, and then he gets on the talk, and he's like, "hey, how you doing? Looks great. Good to see you."
STEELE: And he says it like that. [Adopts effeminate voice] "Hey, how you doing?" He's got that little Mike Tyson voice.
