That so many inexcusable things have happened since Trump's re-election does not make his heartlessness toward Rob Reiner any less vomitous.

In this age of AI, the first instinct of any rational reader would be to wonder if the post was even real. Trump erased any doubt by doubling down on his contempt for the dead in subsequent comments to reporters. Reiner “was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned,” said … Trump.

President Donald Trump's brutally racist comments about Somali immigrants managed to alarm and terrorize a group of people who don't scare easily.

For Rob Reiner, politics was much too personal and important a project to be left to politicians. Like Michael Stivic, the “All in the Family” character that made him a star, he was a passionate, crusading liberal. And like his mentor Norman Lear, the show’s creator, he put his money — and his creative muscle — where his mouth was.

Rob Reiner, who famously played Archie Bunker's liberal son-in-law, went on to be an outspoken supporter of social causes and Democratic voices.
