Even by the low behavioral standards set by President Donald J. Trump, his remarks about the murder of director Rob Reiner were shocking. Unfairly and inaccurately denigrating him as “tortured and struggling, but once very talented,” Mr. Trump wrote on social media that Reiner’s and his wife’s death was “reportedly due to the anger he caused others though his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction with a mind crippling diseased known as … TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.”

For Trump, everything is about himself, and anyone who espouses liberal sentiments is a traitor and deserves to die, or at least be deported to a festering third world jail. Trump is a mean-spirited, self-involved bully, and even his most diehard fans should be able to see that now and reject his toxic brand of leadership.
