Trump’s Reiner Comments: Another Blow to the Dignity of the Presidency
In response to the tragic murder of Rob Reiner, former President Donald Trump issued a series of callous and offensive statements on social media. Trump mocked Reiner and attributed his death to “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” The author compares Trump’s behavior to that of a mad Roman emperor, highlighting the dehumanization of political opponents, even in death. Such behavior would result in expulsion for an elementary school child, yet Trump continues to hold immense power despite his inappropriate actions.
