So THIS is TDS on full display. Trump inserting himself into a tragic death. Baseless claims that Reiner was somehow mentally ill (always with the self-reflection). No, but his son was seriously affected by drug abuse. But Trump can't stop himself from inserting himself into every topic. And he can't help himself from taking digs at those that criticized him. No sympathy, no 'thought's and prayers". Just the opposite.
THIS is TDS. A deranged man saying deranged things. It's bad enough that even many Republicans are sick of his commentary.
So NOW we know what derangement related to Trump really looks like
No "what-about-ism". Time to own this man's sickness.
Recall the relatively benign commentary after Charlie Kirk's killing. People pointed out the obvious truths about him. That was enough to engender death threats. It was inappropriate. But leading Democrats didn't make those comments. Here we have the leader of the US, the leader of the Republican Party, the putative leader of the free world making outlandish and FALSE statements.
Trump is sui generis. That's Latin for "sick as shit".
A good recent piece on the coarsening of discourse in the US. It was pointed out that Trump isn't the cause of this sickness. But he is like the mosquito that spreads malaria or the flea that spreads plague (maybe more like the rat that carries the flea). He's an opportunist that uses this trend to his advantage. Instead of using his immense influence to counter this trend, he amplifies it at every opportunity.
This was a great example, perhaps the best.
Trump is a plague-carrying rat.
