Friends, I was not going to mention the tragic deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner because there’s far too much tragedy around us already. It appears to be a personal, family tragedy. (Police have arrested the Reiners’ son, Nick, in connection with his killing.) But I can’t keep mum about Trump’s response to it. Instead of extending sympathies to Rob and Michele Reiner and their family and friends, Trump said in a post to Truth Social this morning, that:
Three quick points about Trump’s response: First, this angry, partisan message is utterly inappropriate to the tragedy that has engulfed the Reiner family and the community of people who care about them. Second, Trump has made it all about himself. It’s not the first time his malignant narcissism has put himself at the center of whatever is preoccupying the public at the moment, but this is one of the most extreme and disgusting examples I’ve seen. Third, if anyone still harbors any doubt that Trump is losing it — that his mind is in the grip of dementia, also likely paranoia — this post should make it clear. No rational person would post this. Enough said. So glad you can be here today. Please consider becoming a paid subscriber of this community so we can do even more.
