Trump's alleged comments about Rob Reiner's murder serve as a reminder of his true character for America.
The world was shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of beloved actor and filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele. But amidst the outpouring of grief and remembrance, President Donald Trump made a shocking statement that once again shifted the focus onto himself. Reiner, known for his renowned works such as "A Few Good Men" and "When Harry Met Sally," was found deceased in his home alongside his wife on December 14th. As the news spread, Trump decided to chime in, despite the fact that Reiner had been a vocal critic of his presidency.

In a lengthy post on his social media platform, Truth Social, Trump callously attributed the tragedy to something he called "Trump Derangement Syndrome." He wrote, "Rob Reiner, a once talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away together with his wife, reportedly due to his massive and incurable affliction with a mind-crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, also known as TDS." He went on to accuse Reiner of driving people crazy with his "raging obsession" with President Donald J. Trump.

The backlash against Trump's insensitive comments was swift and fierce. But even when faced with criticism, Trump refused to back down from his statements, doubling down during a press conference in the Oval Office. "I was never a fan of his. He was a deranged person as far as I'm concerned," Trump said in reference to Reiner, who was best known for his role in the TV show "All in the Family."

But Trump's lack of empathy and decency did not go unnoticed by both Democrat and Republican lawmakers, as well as members of the Hollywood community. Even some of Trump's most loyal supporters, like Rep. Mike Lawler, spoke out against his comments, calling them "wrong." "Regardless of one's political views, no one should be subjected to violence, let alone at the hands of their own son. It's a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in our country," he said.

However, this behavior from Trump should come as no surprise. He has a history of promoting violence, especially towards those who oppose him. The events of January 6th, 2021, when a group of individuals stormed the U.S. Capitol building in the name of "democracy," are a prime example. Upon his return to office for a second term, Trump even pardoned some of the individuals who had incited harm against elected officials and law enforcement.

This is not the first time Trump has shown a lack of empathy towards a tragic event. In the past, he has made similar statements, such as when he referred to the white nationalists who caused chaos in Charlottesville, Virginia, as "very fine people." So it begs the question, why are we so shocked by Trump's callous remarks about Reiner's death?

In other news, Trump recently signed an executive order that prevents states from regulating artificial intelligence. This decision has been met with both support and criticism. Some believe it will promote innovation and growth, while others fear it will lead to negative consequences. Only time will tell the true impact of this decision.
