Speaker 1 (00:00):
That's the question now many, even within MAGA and some
of the staunchest Trumps supporters, are now asking, and is
obviously in reaction to Trump's let's put it this way
harsh comments following the death of Rob Reiner, the famous
actor director, and his wife Michelle as police say they

(00:23):
were both slaughtered, had their throats slit slashed. They were
murdered by their thirty two year old son, Nick Reiner,
who according to newspaper and media reports, was battling mental
illness and drug addiction issues since he was fifteen years old.

(00:43):
On Sunday, it broke that Rob Reiner and his wife
were murdered in their homes. Monday morning, Trump went on
truth social and began to trash Rob Reiner, saying that
the news of his death was very sad, but that
Reiner was afflicted and consumed by Trump derangement syndrome, and that,

(01:07):
according to Trump, this led him Reiner to alienate and
enrage many people close to him, probably leading to him
being murdered. In other words, Reiner was such a toxic,
hateful individual, so consumed with politics and hating his political

(01:28):
enemies like Trump, that he practically drove his son, Nick
to slash him and his wife in the throat. Many
said it was indefensible, it was in poor taste, It
certainly was' gracious and Made trump come across as, nasty,
mean and. Petty, now let me just say, This Rob

(01:53):
reiner was a despicable political. Activist he was vile in his.
Politics he slandered and Smeared trump going back ten, years
Calling Trump, hitler practically cheering his attempted murder In, Butler.
Pennsylvania he and the left, repeatedly repeatedly LIBELED maga and

(02:18):
called us Neo nazi. Scum he also Called trump mentally
unfit and the most disqualified person to ever become president
of The United. States and more, Importantly Rob reiner spent
millions of his own, dollars millions of his own money
in order to try to Frame trump as an agent

(02:41):
Of russia and having colluded With Vladimir. Putin SO i
DON'T i perfectly understand Why trump would bear a, grudge
Why trump would be disgusted By Rob reiner and everything
That reiner said and did to Destroy, trump to incite
hate against him and his, family and to try to

(03:01):
bankrupt him and destroy him and send him to. Prison
So trump the, man if he can't Stand, REINER i completely.
Understand but we're not just talking About trump the. Man
Donald trump is also the president of The United, states
And i'm, sorry but his comments were. Unpresidential they were

(03:25):
beyond the. Line they did cross the. Line it did
not bring this country, together and in, fact you just
gave ammunition to your enemies to attack you as being,
heartless as being someone who is insensitive and unable to
grasp a seminal. Point whatever you think Of Rob, reiner

(03:48):
AND i don't care for him his politics or frankly
is acting and his. Directing he was a, father he
was a. Husband he leaves behind other, children and he
was murdered and slaughtered in his own home by the
hand of his. Son no matter how Much trump hates,

(04:08):
him what can you possibly say that would be any
worse than what actually happened To Rob reiner and his.
WIFE i always believe when someone you can't stand or
you deeply dislike has passed, away or in this, case
has been heinously, murdered just say nothing at. All if

(04:32):
you don't want to be a phony or a, fraud that's,
fine then say. Nothing if you want to be truly
presidential statesman like and maybe actually try to bring people.
Together you can offer your condolences to the family and
say you're very sorry on his. Passing no one should
be killed like, This no one should be murdered like.

(04:54):
This and the worst thing is that it happened at
the hands of his, son who battled a life long
addiction to. Drugs but instead of taking the high, Road
trump decided to take the low. Road he indulged in being,
vindictive in a, grudge in, retribution and now he's given

(05:15):
his enemies fodder to attack him. With Mister, president this
is a massive unforced, error AND i hope you learn your.
Lesson the presidency is bigger than, you than your grudges
or than your personal. Feelings it's about the. Agenda it's

(05:36):
about your, voters it's about the. Country it's about doing
what's right for The american. People and sometimes we don't
just need you to speak the. Truth sometimes we need
you to hold your, tongue because holding your tongue can
bring our country. Together President, TRUMP i hope this never happens,

(06:00):
again BUT i fear that it. Will and if it,
does you are going to continue to lose support among your.
Magabase learn from this and never make the same mistake,
again because the one thing The american people can't stand
is a, nasty vindictive man in The White. House AND

(06:23):
i don't believe you are a nasty vindictive. Man in,
fact quite the. CONTRARY i know you're a, good decent.
Man but this, truth this truth social, post it was
bad when you first said, it and it's not aging
well at. All don't ever do it. Again that's my

(06:46):
strong advice to, You President. Trump you're better than, that and,
we The american, people expect you to be better than.
That
