When Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and his spouse Michele Singer Reiner had been murdered Sunday night—allegedly by their son, who was arrested—you may (had you been residing in one other time with a unique President) have anticipated the President of the USA to both keep silent or supply condolences.
As an alternative, Donald Trump noticed a chance to display to the world—but once more—how actually wicked and obsessed he’s.
That’s Trump on Reality Social saying:
A really unhappy factor occurred final night time in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, however as soon as very gifted film director and comedy star, has handed away, collectively together with his spouse, Michele, reportedly as a result of anger he triggered others by his large, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a thoughts crippling illness often known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, typically known as TDS. He was recognized to have pushed folks CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, together with his apparent paranoia reaching new heights because the Trump Administration surpassed all targets and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, maybe like by no means earlier than. Could Rob and Michele relaxation in peace!
Learn that once more. The President of the USA is claiming—with zero proof—that Reiner’s homicide occurred “as a result of anger he triggered others” by his criticism of Trump. He’s framing political speech in opposition to Trump as one thing that drives folks “loopy” and justifies violence.
This is similar administration that spent months after Charlie Kirk’s loss of life insisting that even quoting Kirk’s personal hateful rhetoric was unacceptable and deserving of cancellation. Pam Bondi threatened to prosecute those that criticized Kirk, claiming it incited violence. There was a flood of assume items demanding we “flip down the rhetoric” whilst MAGA instantly ramped up “the warfare on the left” in Kirk’s title.
However when somebody who spent a long time talking out in opposition to fascism—Rob Reiner, beloved for his work on All within the Household and for guiding genre-defining movies, a key participant in legalizing same-sex marriage, somebody whose empathy and kindness touched numerous lives—is murdered? Trump claims Reiner principally had it coming as a result of his anti-Trump activism drove folks “loopy.”
Trump is mad as a result of Reiner has been a loud, constant, and vocal critic of the President, highlighting the numerous methods through which Donald Trump is unfit for workplace. And Trump’s obsession with that criticism is the one factor on this story that’s actually “loopy.”
The message from Trump is obvious: criticizing Trump is what causes violence. Supporting Trump justifies it.
And far of the media is simply letting it slide by, “reporting the info” of what Trump mentioned, relatively than simply how unhinged it’s:
Fortunately, at the very least some within the media are calling out how ridiculous and unhinged that is, however the rush to attempt to normalize Trump’s rhetoric is harmful. The underlying level stays the identical: Trump simply instructed everybody, from the Oval Workplace, {that a} murdered man principally had it coming for criticizing him an excessive amount of.
Add to this Trump’s pardoning of all of the January sixth criminals, the ramping up of violence by ICE and CBP in cities, and the continuous hateful rhetoric, and Donald Trump is making it clear: violence in help of Donald Trump is noble.
And that’s fucking loopy.
The one consistency with Donald Trump is that should you help Trump, you might be as violent as you need.
