Rob and Michele Reiner's murders are a tragedy.
All Trump had to do was keep his f*cking mouth shut and let people grieve in peace. Instead, he made it much worse for so many, exacerbating pain, stoking division, centering himself.
It's a microcosm of what this POS has done for the past ten years.

In a vile, grotesque, inhumane rambling social media diatribe about the shocking murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, Trump himself had the stratospheric gall to accuse the slain actor, director, and activist of having Trump Derangement Syndrome.
