Charles Payne argued that Donald Trump’s approach to communication is a natural response to the confrontation the former President is used to be, while criticizing Joe Biden for his negative attitude towards Trump supporters.
“I don’t think it’s narcissism,” Payne said.
“I think it’s — you’ve lived in New York long enough, you know, maybe it’s a New York thing — someone punches you, you punch them back harder. That’s the way I grew up in Harlem.”

“Not if the country’s at stake, right?” Democratic strategist Jessica Tarlov said.
“He became president of the United States with that same personality,” Payne said.
“Listen, I think it’s worse with Biden calling MAGA,” Payne added.
“Biden’s anger and hatred and vitriol for MAGA is far more, worse than President Trump’s individual battles with someone who crosses him,” he said. “That is something that is really detrimental to this country — that the president of the United States despises half of the United States.”
Payne then noted the “articles after articles” that show up when he searches “Biden hates MAGA.”
“The bottom line is he says it,” Payne said. “He has vitriol for them and so has MSNBC and so does CNN and so does The New York Times. They have vitriol for half of the nation.”
“They don’t look at them like fellow Americans, and it’s unfortunate. They try to paint them as racist. All the things that they do to their fellow Americans who simply want a safe home, a safe community for their children and prosperity.”
“They want the same thing! But they demean them all the time.”
“That’s why I think what [Dean] Phillips was so intriguing,” Payne said, “because he went to a rally to find out for himself and guess what? ‘Golly! These are some pretty cool people! They’re just like us!’”
