For the better part of a decade Donald Trump has demonstrated a measure of the monstrosity that makes up his character, or lack thereof. He keeps challenging the nation to imagine how he could ever get any worse as an alleged human being, and yet he still manages to exceed everyone’s worst expectations.

We’re talking about someone who had an unsavory relationship with a notorious pedophile; blows up boats in the Caribbean without any proof of wrongdoing; cuts off life-saving aid to millions of poor people around the world; allows health insurance subsidies to expire making it unaffordable for millions of Americans; deports law-abiding migrants to foreign gulags; pardons international drug traffickers and other criminal felons; and threatens to execute members of congress…

However, if you think that Trump has hit rock bottom, you don’t know Trump. On Monday morning Trump posted a comment to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, expressing his extraordinarily vile thoughts about the tragic murder of iconic actor/director Rob Reiner and his wife. It was among the most nauseating things he has ever said, and that’s saying something.
The gist of his comment was that Reiner deserved to have been murdered “due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.” Of course, Trump has no evidence of that, or any idea of what the motive was. Also, if Trump thinks that Reiner was murdered because he hated Trump, then isn’t Trump accusing one of his followers of the murder?
Donald Trump continues to sink to ever deeper depths of depravity.His comment on the tragic death of Rob Reiner and his wife is unspeakably grotesque. And, as usual, reeks with the stink of his massive, yet fragile ego.

Trump, however, was not satisfied with his repulsive post. Later the same day Trump took some questions at the White House, and one of them was about the Reiner comment. Naturally, Trump would not express any regret or apologize for his indecency. To the contrary, he doubled down…
Reporter: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Truth Social after the murder of Rob Reiner. Do you stand by that statement?
Trump: Well, I wasn’t a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump was concerned. He said he liked – he knew it was false – In fact it was the exact opposite – that I was a friend of Russia, controlled by Russia. It was the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself career-wise. He became like a deranged person. Trump Derangement Syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all, in any way shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country.”
Trump on Rob Reiner: He was a deranged person… Trump derangement syndrome. I was not a fan. I thought he was very bad for our country.
Someone needs to tell Trump that you don’t need to be a fan of someone to express some sympathy for their untimely demise, and for the grief of their loved ones. But the only person that Trump can think about is himself. So he manufactures reasons to lash out Reiner, and rehashes old allegations about Trump’s connections to Russia, which have been mostly validated.
It’s also notable that Trump ignored the part of the question that mentioned the Republicans who have denounced his comments. For the record, here a just a few of them…
Rep.Thomas Massie: Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered.
Meghan McCain: This is awful, cruel and beneath President Trump.
Jonathan Turley: [A]bsent is any sense of restraint in light of this tragedy or any consideration for this grieving family.
Rep. Mike Lawler: This statement is wrong. Regardless of one’s political views, no one should be subjected to violence…It’s a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in our country, period.
Andy McCarthy: No words. I mean, ‘disgraceful,’ ‘appalling,’ ‘atrocious’ — those are words, but they don’t do it justice.
Kennedy: Disgusting, unnecessary and inappropriate.
Guy Benson: Gross.
Joe Concha: Completely inappropriate.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene: This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies…It’s incredibly difficult and should be met with empathy especially when it ends in murder.
That’s just a sampling of the reaction from the right-wing Republicans who form the base of Trump’s MAGA movement. But it is also an indication that his supporters are beginning to show some of the backbone that has been sorely missing for the past ten years. It was inevitable that as Trump’s approval ratings decline, as they have been, his supporters would start to fear the people – i.e. voters – more than they fear Trump. That’s the tipping point at which we may be now.
If this trend continues, Trump will not only find himself without a Republican majority in Congress, but without support from what remains of the GOP. Nobody will want to be associated with someone who disparages beloved Americans who were taken from us far too soon. Trump pretended to hold that position when right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was murdered. But his hypocrisy is on full blast now. By comparison, let’s revisit what Rob Reiner had to say shortly after Kirk’s passing. It really reveals the differences between a good man and sociopath.
“That should never happen to anybody. I don’t care what your political beliefs are. That’s not acceptable. That’s not a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said at the service, at the memorial they had, was exactly right. And, totally, I believe — you know, I’m Jewish — but I believe in the teachings of Jesus, and I believe in ‘Do unto others.’ And I believe in forgiveness. And what she said [Erika Kirk], to me, was beautiful and absolutely — you know — she forgave his assassin. And I think that that is admirable.”
