IN HIS RESPONSE TO ROB REINER'S DEATH, TRUMP IS JUST EXPRESSING THE VIEWS OF HIS BASE

You've probably seen Donald Trump's repulsive Truth Social response to the death of Rob Reiner and his wife:

A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly 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. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

Trump adds his usual narcissism and a desperate attempt to convince us, yet again, that we're living through an era of peace and prosperity, but apart from that, his meanspiritedness reflects the viewpoint of his angry base, which has been told for decade that Democrats and liberals are unspeakably evil and the cause of all misery and suffering in America. You can see that by going to the comments in response to stories about the Reiners' deaths on right-wing sites.

At Fox News, the commenters pat themselves on the back for not being haters while ... being haters:

Although he would never do the same for me based on who I voted for, and would probably in fact, wish me dead... rest in peace. Hopefully you don’t carry that weird anger to the pearly gates. They aren’t a fan of that I hear.

****

It sounds like there may be irony in Reiner's presumed death and his politics. We'll see. Regardless, I have never rooted for or cheered anyone's death and never will. I will admit Joe Biden has really pushed that resolve.

****

If he was a conservative the liberals would be cheering in the streets ... they’ve already proven that. That’s one difference between us and them. RIP Mr Reiner.

****

Dont wish death upon anyone but he has been quite hateful the last 10-15 years....if roles were reversed I can easily imagine the comments on her by progressives and liberals against the other side. RIP you deserve peace after all that hate.

****

Didn’t hear from the Hollywood crowd after the murder of two American patriots in Syriia yet everyone is so devastated about Reiner and his wife. our priorities are definitely misguided.

Having said that may they all rest in peace.

****

After reading many of the comments here, I want to say that the difference between Republicans and Democrats is mind blowing.

Almost every comment here is sad by this, loved him as a director and not his politics.

If he had been a Republican, the left would be happy he was dead.

****

He did give us ' This Is Spinal Tap ' and ' When Harry Met Sally'. Unfortunately his TDS overwhelmed him.

****

Unfortunately, the torment he felt under Trump may be nothing compared to what he is currently experiencing.

****

Unlike liberals who would be joyful at this news if Mr. Reiner were a conservative. I find it extremely sad that a tragedy such as this has happened to the Reiner family. No one deserves to have this happen to them and I pray for both Mr. and Mrs. Reiner as well as the Reiner family. Hopefully they will be allowed to mourn in peace.

****

It would be easy for me to make a terrible comment about another TDS sufferer here. But I will not stoop to this level. So I will just say that to his relatives, I'm sorry for your loss.

****

I do not wish ill on others, even if Reiner himself would not/did not behave the same way towards conservatives, it doesn't do any good to spread hate.

The commenters responding to Breitbart's story largely dispense with the self-congratulation and go straight to the hate, some of them focusing on reports that the Reiners may have been stabbed by their son, who has struggled with substance abuse:

Trump will get the blame for sinking the son's drug supply.

****

Rob R pushed so much of this stuff on society. We didn’t want him to pass away like this, nor his wife, but it’s the way Rob R would have wanted it.

****

Was absolutely pisses me off, both of them what liked the dems solution: muslims all over the place, chinese buying land near our military bases, somolis in Minneapolis ripping us taxpayers off for billions.
Ya that is thee solution to getting rid of Trump.

****

He was always running his mouth about Trump being a dictator but never said a world about rampant crime in California caused by his buddy Newscum.

****

Democrats have no solutions only chaos.

****

I have said for years that if open season was declared on drug dealers and they were executed on site, and left at the curb for the trash collectors that within six months there wouldn't be a drug dealer anywhere to be found. Trump is trying to eradicate the supply/suppliers, yet democrats want him to leave them alone. Who are the bad guys? DEMOCRATS.

****

It is amazing to me the Democrats are violently defending letting drug dealers and criminal narco terrorists and gangs into our country. And that they are even a party any more when they are defending these people. But I guess this is proof that we aren't fighting people, but forces of darkness. Because even the stupidest people don't want chaos, crime, and enemy gangs who deal in prostitution, r*pe trafficking and drugs from third world countries to tear their homes and neighborhoods apart.

****

Democraps know this creates chaos. That’s why they promote it along with their other favorite bad for society stuff.

****

I guess you have to have sympathy for the parent. But I know a flaming lib that lost his middle aged son to Fentanyl. But he'd scream about blowing up the drug boats. Just people who shouldn't be in charge of anything.

****

Guess he should have spent less time crying about Trump and more time trying to get his son into rehab.

****

Alleged celebrities with drug addled children are now looking over their shoulders.
Hey, it takes a village.

****

Democrats are violent, psychotic filth and should not be allowed near sharp objects or guns. Don't turn your back to them. Never, ever let them near the children.

****

WE NEED ACROSS THE BOARD COMMON SENSE LIBERAL CONTROL LAWS.

One commenter assumes the son was trans:

Because of his Radical Left TDS, he programmed and groomed a "tran" kid who probably received psychotic drugs and went full mental and took Reiner's life and his wife. Radical Liberalism is a disease!

Another is appalled at the possibility that the White House press corps might ask Trump to comment on the Reiners' deaths:

Next WH press corp question: "Are you sorry Rob Reiner was murdered?" Don't be stunned when it comes. I still remember them asking if Trump was sorry the South lost the Civil War. They should simply have been thrown out, and I don't remember what outfit asked it, but they should NEVER have been let a toe over the threshold ever again.

Well, not to worry -- Trump already told us what's in his repulsive heart. And much of his base is no better.
