(DCNF)—Former MSNBC host Joy Reid went on a nearly two-minute tirade during a Thursday interview attacking President Donald Trump as the leader of a “monotheistic cult” that she claims Secretary of State Marco Rubio wrongly believes he “will inherit.”
As far back as 2019, Reid said that substantial “evidence” backed the claim that Trump support was “a racial and religious cult of personality” and that white evangelicals assert he is “the chosen one of God.” On counterterrorism analyst Malcolm Nance’s YouTube channel, Reid claimed neither Rubio nor Trump have any principles, hurling crude insults at both.
“Marco Rubio believes in nothing. He’s been a Catholic, he’s been a Mormon, he’s been an Evangelical — he’s whatever religion works for him in the moment. And he’s also whatever ideology works for him in the moment,” Reid said. “He’s been a Bush-style Republican, he’s been a supposed Tea Partier, which is the opposite of a Bush-style Republican. He’s been for Ukraine, doesn’t give a crap about Ukraine. He’s been hard on Russia, he doesn’t care if Russia is dominating the Earth. He doesn’t believe in anything.”
“He thought Donald Trump was a small-penis weakling, and now he thinks Donald Trump is God. Marco Rubio believes in nothing. But he doesn’t even have the intellectual heft of a [Republican Texas Sen.] Ted Cruz — who’s barely got any,” she continued. “He’s got less. So he couldn’t even be president. And I have always said this man will never be president because he doesn’t believe in anything. Neither does Trump, but at least Trump has the talent of performance. He doesn’t even have that.”
Rubio on Jan. 20 became the first cabinet nominee that the Senate confirmed during Trump’s second term. The secretary of state received 99 yes votes and zero no votes, according to the unofficial tally.
“Marco Rubio is doing what he’s doing now because in his mind, he thinks that somehow he can inherit the cult of Donald Trump,” Reid added. “That when Trump is aged out and when the devil takes him home, when he goes back below earth, from whence he came, when his soul — when the man — when the creature to which he has sold his soul takes him — he thinks that he will inherit that cult … they all think it. They think they can inherit the cult.”
“What they don’t understand is that when Jim Jones was gone, there was no other Jim Jones. There was only one Jim Jones. And when he killed all those people in the forests of Guyana, even his son could not become the next Jim Jones,” she said. “Because cults are sui generis. They worship one person — not even God — they worship one god. And these people are a monotheistic cult. And the mono — the god — is named Donald Trump.”
Rubio and Trump were rivals during the 2016 Republican presidential primary, hurling accusations and insults at one another.
Rubio developed a reputation for being a foreign policy hawk, pushing for a globally involved U.S. that safeguards “freedom fighters” and democracies, according to a speech he delivered in 2011. However, as he grew closer to Trump during the 2024 election cycle, his views evolved to become more aligned with Trump’s ‘America First’ foreign policy agenda.
MSNBC canceled Reid’s primetime program, “The ReidOut,” in February. She has a reputation for being obsessed with race and spewing far-left talking points.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
