Trump implying that one of his supporters murdered Rob Reiner for criticizing him is really something

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

Sprouts, potatoes and parsnips prepped. Tree up. Big Food Shop done. 90% of presents bought. Christmas cake in the oven. Guttering fixed.
Very flat. Grey outside and in. Slept on the sofa to stop dogs barking at the wind. Awake from 5am. Knackered. Head whirring with uncomfortable dynamics.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
