Trump is blaming the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife on their Trump Derangement Syndrome, which Trump claims made someone angry enough to stab them to death.
There will be a special place in hell for Donald Trump.
For those of you who may think this is fake news, here is the link.
As the film world and people of good taste around the world mourn the sudden death of legendary director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer, President Donald Trump jumped to make the apparent double homicide about himself.
In an early morning Truth Social post , the president wrote that the couple had "passed away," due to "the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS."
"He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before," Trump added. "May Rob and Michele rest in peace."
Reiner was known for directing several classic films including This is Spinal Tap, Stand by Me, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, and A Few Good Men, was found dead in his California home on Sunday along with Singer. According to the Los Angeles Times, a member of Reiner's family has been questioned in connection with the couple's death, which is being investigated as a homicide.
The couple were actively involved in politics, and their deaths were publicly mourned by prominent Democratic political figures including former President Barack Obama, and Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
"Rob's achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen," Obama wrote on X. "But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people - and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired."
"This is a devastating loss for our city and our country. Rob Reiner's contributions reverberate throughout American culture and society, and he has improved countless lives through his creative work and advocacy fighting for social and economic justice," Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass wrote in a statement on Sunday. "An acclaimed actor, director, producer, writer, and engaged political activist, he always used his gifts in service of others."
The current president wasn't so graceful in his X post on Monday.
I don't agree with what Trump said and I wish he would refrain from some things he does say, but can you show us where you chastised leftists, including some on here, for celebrating Charlie Kirk's assassination?
The fact that others (and there are always going to be ugly people doing bad things) wrongfully celebrated Kirk's murder does not excuse Trump.
Focus on what the guy (you voted for and support for PotUS) is saying. Figure out what is in this man's sick mind. Then explain to us why you continue to support this abysmal human being for PotUS.
No one celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death, especially around here. On NT, and out in the world, people across the political spectrum condemned his murder.
What the Right did was instantly canonize the man for all the allegedly great things he said and did, and then expected everyone else to just agree with that assessment. When people did not agree with it, they were accused of celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder.
I don’t even know what you’re talking about, because you didn’t say. But if you have a point, and you want to support your position with an argument and evidence, I’ll retract my eyeroll.
no it was people celebrating his murder who were accused of it. And then there were the "what did he expect, he made us mad" justifications...
Who, for example? I sure as hell didn’t celebrate his death, and I’m not aware of anyone else who did.
Given all that Trump has done this year and you still think he is better for this nation than Harris (or, really, any rational human being)? Now that is blind partisanship on full display.
Trump's approval ratings indicate that his support continues to wane. Why do you continue to support this psychopath given others are clearly wising up? Surely it is not because of his brilliant policies, which are doing such a fine job in helping Americans make ends meet.
So fill us in. Assuming (maybe incorrectly) that you do NOT believe his endless lies, what is it about Trump that makes you think he is good for this nation?
The article points out Trump's disgusting , unhinged rhetoric , and Vic seems to be saying the topic puts him to sleep. How does that make him any better than Trump?
If Trump does something outrageous you can indeed predict that he will be criticized for it.
You clearly object to criticism of Trump. Get used to it, Trump is not going to stop being a buffoon and criticism of his words and deeds will thus not stop.
Trump is a sick bastard. Every holiday, he posts something attacking people. Any time there’s a tragedy affecting someone he doesn’t like politically, he has to attack. And his legions of brain dead supporters either ignore it, pretend it’s not happening, or find a way to spin it so that it’s all just fine, and the rest of us are overreacting.
The argument the MAGAs often use is that everyone knew the way Trump talked and behaved when they voted for him. This is supposed to make everything all right. I think all it shows is how far our society has sunk.
Which is why I didn't vote for him. So to all of you that voted for him....do you like being the laughing stock of the globe? Do you think it's funny when he calls people garbage, piggy, ugly, fat, stupid, etc? Would you allow your own children to talk to people like that?
I can assure you that you will find far more conservatives condemning this murder, which probably is a family affair, than leftists condemning the RI shooting, the Sydney shooting and the Kirk assassination, all put together.
Trump said something stupid and those with sense will call him out for it.
Yet again, an attempt to deflect from quite valid criticism of Trump.
What other PotUS would say anything even remotely as bad as this (and many other examples from Trump)? How can you possibly think that this sick individual is fit for office? How can you continue to try to defend this piece of shit?
He did not merely say something stupid. He has, yet again, demonstrated that he is a psychopath. You, et. al., voted for and continue to support a psychopath having the powers of the presidency.
It really says a lot about his supporters, doesn't it?
It says what most of US Already knew, yet we assumed after his bazaar antics during this second term, we would see some push back by the GOP, and certainly from his supporters. Instead, we've been disappointed by both. Yet some signs of decency are beginning to be displayed as well. Be it far too late and too little, it is better than no movement at all.
The interesting thing is you find many conservatives criticizing Trump for his inappropriate response to the murders.
When Kirk was murdered, not only did most progressives refuse to condemn the celebratory and inappropriate response from many progressives to his murder, they intentionally made up and brazenly edited quotes of his to try and smear his character.
The same people who smeared Kirk immediately after his murder and justified it (if not outright celebrated it) are now mad at Trump for acting like they do.
they intentionally made up and brazenly edited quotes of his to try and smear his character.
You keep trying to spread this lie.

I was appalled by the murder of Charlie Kirk, a young father with a young family. No one should be killed because of their political beliefs.
My objection at the time was about people trying to canonize him as a secular saint of the right. Name schools after him, build statues to him. It was absurd and offensive. By his own words he was a bigot on many fronts. I have seen many clips of Charlie Kirk and his views were not misrepresented by "the left".
Surprisingly, the Washington Post didn’t publish much about how one of their journalists tweeted a fake quote to smear Kirk after his death. Imagine that.
By all means, if you have something other than a logical fallacy to offer to rebut the details of the story, please do so.
He is as sharp as a tack", " He does laps around his staff
Of course, you make up a quote and pretend that the majority of Biden supporters claimed he was brilliant (something nobody ever claimed of Biden) and that he had not slowed down with age. And you do this to deflect from the demonstrated psychopathic behavior of the guy you voted for and continue to support.
Trump is an abysmal human being who continually damages our nation and you refuse to even acknowledge his depravity — instead, you make feeble deflections to Biden.
There is a profound difference between what an individual says and what the PotUS says (and does). The fact that some individual criticized Kirk after his murder is to be expected given we have over 340 million people in the USA. One can always find bad behavior in such numbers.
Compare Trump with other presidents of the USA. Can you imagine any of them being publicly disrespectful and narcissistic regarding the murder of a political opponent? Especially in the brazen fashion of Trump!
Why are you trying to justify Trump's words instead of being critical of this abysmal human being?
But the truth. There were zero leftists all during the Biden fiasco that accepted that Biden was in free fall mentally....even the ones here who have claimed to be non partisan but never spoke out about Biden's cognitive decline.
Weird comment. Fascinating, but weird. I've never had anyone on here on "ignore". Is that something you do? Some people I usually choose to ignore, of course.
Do you understand that Biden had to give up reelection before Harris could be nominated? This is basic logic. So when I ask you how we ended up with Harris, it is intellectually lazy to jump straight to DEI without considering the fact that Biden was pressured to quit the race because of his poor showing in the debate.
So, when you make a claim like this:
There were zero leftists all during the Biden fiasco that accepted that Biden was in free fall mentally
The facts of the whole situation prove that your claim is false.
What primary was held? Who voted for Harris to be the democratic nominee ?
Harris was nominated. A primary does not nominate the candidate. Nomination is done by delegates and certified at the convention. In the case of Harris, that is what happened.
Harris received 4,567 votes from delegates in the roll call, which concluded Monday evening, according to the Democratic National Committee.
"With the support of 99% of all participating delegates in the virtual roll call, Vice President Harris has historic momentum at her back as we embark on the final steps in officially certifying her as our Party’s nominee.
Get an understanding of basic facts before making such a proclamation.
The only reason democrats had her as their nominee was because if she wasn't, some in the democratic party would be referred to as racists.
Such a stupid claim.
Realistically, Harris was the only person (other than Biden) who had access to the Biden-Harris campaign funds. As the sitting VP, she was a natural to pursue the presidency, and her sole access to campaign funds with only 100 days left made her choice the most rational course of action given the situation Biden put the D party in.
Presidential primaries are IMO a waste of time. The primaries are to allow voters in each state to let their preference be known so that the respective political parties in the states will send delegates to the conventions to vote for the nominee. But remember back to the 2016 elections when the Democrats stated that delegates did not need to follow the will of the states AND that the superdelegates would have the most preference in voting. That's how HRC won the nomination when Sanders was the leading contender before the convention. And that's also how Harris was the 2024 Democrat nominee because the party made the rules to get her nominated at the convention. To be fair, there was over $100 million dollars in the Biden/Harris campaign fund and after Biden dropped out only Harris could access that money. Had the convention nominated anybody else that money could not have been used in the 2024 campaign. Not that she really needed it when she raised and spent around $1.5 Billion dollars in the 107 days she had before election day.
I think the Republicans play it a little bit more open by trying to use state preference more. But the simple truth is that the primaries and the convention to pick the party's nominee is totally owned by the respective political party. Because of this I feel it's wrong that the federal and state governments pay such a large part of the cost for the primary elections. Those costs should be paid by the political parties, but the parties won't agree to that. Politicians would much rather spend other people's money.
Those costs should be paid by the political parties, but the parties won't agree to that.
I agree. The whole campaign system is out of control. We should learn from nations like France, where campaigns are necessarily shorter and less expensive. Not only is it good to not waste money, it also is a measure to reduce the ability of the super-rich to have inordinate control over who gets elected.
Because they knew there was no way he would beat Trump and they had to replace him with someone. (Notice I said ‘they’ and not ‘the people’).
They needed someone with name recognition and the only one with that was the DEI VP. When they realized what a horrid mistake they made, it was too late.
They needed someone with name recognition and the only one with that was the DEI VP.
The biggest factor was the campaign funds; Harris was the only person other than Biden who could use those funds. With 100 days left, raising new campaign funds was unrealistic.
Notice I said ‘they’ and not ‘the people’
We all know that the Ds did not conduct a primary to pick Harris. Their primary picked Biden-Harris. Biden's late withdrawal was a very special case and the party necessarily scrambled. There was no conceivable way to conduct another primary with 100 days left so your constant complaint is irrational.
The people all had the option to vote for Harris for PotUS in the general. Because of people like you, we are stuck with a psychopath as PotUS who continues to damage our nation as you, et.al. root him on.
Because they knew there was no way he would beat Trump
He beat him before in 2020, so of course there is a way he could beat Trump.
What changed? The economy was in the conversation, to be sure, mainly as a result of Covid, but it was already well on the mend. Inflation was back down below 3% in 2024. Replacing him with Harris wouldn’t do anything to resolve that issue.
No, the problem was that many on the Left recognized that Biden was failing physically and mentally. Nothing showcased that better than the last debate he did with Trump.
Remember what this thread between you and I is about. It’s based on this comment from you:
There were zero leftists all during the Biden fiasco that accepted that Biden was in free fall mentally
The fact is that that is simply not true. After the debate, Biden’s mental state was all anyone on the Left could talk about. And that is why he ended his reelection campaign.

I did say Kirk should not have been celebrated and had statues to him proposed etcetera. He was a bigot on many topics.
Nobody on NT celebrated his death. That's a lie made up by the NT MAGA so they can justify trmp's hateful rhetoric
Still defending Trump with deflection!

A handful of Republicans are condemning his remarks. That’s a good thing, but it really should be more.
Conservatives condemn Trump's 'disgusting' Rob Reiner post
I can assure you that you will find far more conservatives condemning this murder, which probably is a family affair, than leftists condemning the RI shooting, the Sydney shooting and the Kirk assassination, all put together.

Another lie.
