After what he posted in the wake of the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle by their very own son, our Cryto-pedohile piece of excrement of a President really has hit a new low. Rob Reiner and his wife died in about as cruel a fashion as you can die: being knifed to death by one of his own kids. Imagine lying there, with the life ebbing out of you, knowing that one of your own kids had done this to you.
And what did President Trump do? Made it all about him.
Trump has, of course, done many worse things which will have an impact on many more people, but in terms of personal behavior, it doesn’t really get lower than this. According to Trump, the cause of Reiner’s death was the “massive, unyielding, incurable affliction called TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
At this point, anyone who does not have Trump Derangement Syndrome is no longer a sentient human being. This guy is so hopelessly out of touch, so intentionally cruel, so blatantly self-deluded, that any sentient human being would be revolted by his presence. In the same post, Trump goes on to crow that the Trump administration has “surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness,” with the “Golden Age of America upon us.” Somehow, miraculously, Trump and his obsession with tariffs has not yet wrecked the American economy. (Why that is so will be the subject of a future post.)
Trump really is disassociated from reality. I don’t know if the problem is that he can no longer discern reality or he can no longer say anything truthful because it is too painful for his fragile ego to bear. Is his cognitive dissonance so strong that anything but complete fantasy is unacceptable?
Regardless of what is true for Trump personally, the majority of Republican professionals clearly have a much better sense of the truth than he does. These Profiles in Cowardice will eventually have to answer for their crimes, but that may be too little too late. It will be to our everlasting shame that this piece of shit is the President of the United States, is the “leader of the free world,” is supposed to be an exemplar of morality for the rest of us.
MAGA Republicans, every day that you defend and excuse this guy, every day that you also claim to be part of a “Christian” nation, you piss away the very little credibility you have left. No one is going to care about you anymore. We’ll all be like, “can’t afford health care?”, “losing your family farm?,” “having an ectopic pregnancy?”, well too bad. Good luck getting that sorted out in the state where you come from.
We’re done already. After three more years of this guy, we will be unrecoverable.
