Kristin Du Mez, who knew Rob Reiner personally and collaborated with him on a documentary about Christian nationalism, replicates Trump's vile statements about Reiner after he and his wife were murdered by their son, and says,

"I think it’s important to look this evil in the eye, and I think Reiner would have wanted us to."

"His multiple emotional and psychological issues — the malignant narcissism, the pathological lying, the utter, sociopathic absence of empathy, and yet also an almost childlike manipulability — would be disturbing enough in an unemployed drifter. Manifested by the most powerful man on Earth, they amount to a global emergency."

"The president is morally sick. ... The post is deranged, pathologically narcissistic, crude, stupid, and cruel. No human adult outside a psych ward expresses such thoughts. To have them at all is evidence of a twisted soul. ... the United States has muddled along with other dim presidents. Where Trump occupies a category all his own is in his breathtaking moral depravity."

"[Trump's] vile outburst over the murder of a beloved entertainer and advocate for democracy provoked a moment of shocking moral clarity that exposed the essence of Trump’s malevolence as never before.

Peering into the bottomless evil of a man’s soul can be a harrowing experience. On Monday, Americans stared into the pitch darkness of Trump’s soul and recoiled in disgust and horror."

"He is a twisted and malicious man. We knew that. We suspected his depravity was boundless. His Monday post confirmed that fact with an economy and precision that is rare in a political world that runs on evasion and double-speak."

"Who responds this way? Only the thirstiest, weakest, and most depraved of men. Because Donald is irredeemably himself, he did not retract this statement; he didn’t apologize or write something decent and appropriate. In fact, he doubled down."

"Seventy-eight million people decided to give a corrupt, depraved, and sick human being almost unlimited power; the kind of deranged person who makes things worse for a family suffering an unimaginable and horrific loss. I wish we could ignore Donald, but we can’t."

"The president of the United States is a psychopath. This is not about his policies — although lord knows, they will kill millions of people before he is through.

This is about Donald Trump himself — the putrid, malignant soul that occupies his broken-down body."

"The sick mind that, without our increasingly loosened guard rails, would conjure up a gulag or wherever autocrats like him send those they hate, usually without any real basis.

He is rotting from the inside and under his leadership, so is our nation."

"Peering into the Trump mind-set — the logic underpinning his priorities, his morality, his decision making — is like opening up a garbage pail left out for days during a summer heat wave."

"CNN tried without success to get Republicans on Capitol Hill to comment on Trump’s post, reporting that Senate Majority Leader John Thune and Speaker of the House Mike Johnson 'are not addressing' Trump’s post about the killing of Rob Reiner, but instead are 'offering prayers for his family.'”

“God has placed some prominent evangelicals in Trump’s orbit, and they’re going to have to give a full accounting of why they did not do more than they did, because the whole project has descended into getting scraps from the table of power at the expense of the President’s soul.”

"After news of Reiner and his wife Michele’s brutal murder broke, the right leveraged it to score political points.

'You won’t see people on the right celebrating the horrific murder of Rob Reiner and his wife,' posted Jack Posobiec. He told readers to 'Compare the Left’s reaction to Charlie Kirk’s murder,' even though there were no Democratic officials who had actually celebrated."

"But then Trump climbed in his AI fighter jet and dropped shit all over Posobiec’s argument. …

And with that, a crazed statement by Trump had once again put the right on the defensive and called into question whether they were prepared to descend further into the abyss along with him."

"I have never held Donald Trump in lower esteem.

But the silence of 99% of his party in failing to rebuke his sick and cruel behavior today means they’re utterly irredeemable."

"And let’s be clear: blaming a victim of violence for provoking their own death is not merely cruel. It is moral rot. It is the logic of the crazed mob, the whisper that they had it coming, the language historically employed by cowards who want brutality to feel justified. When it comes from the mouth of a U.S. President, it is not just indecent. It is dangerous."

"For the rest of us [who aren't in the MAGA cult], this has to be a moment of clarity and forward vision. We are lucky that Trump and his cronies are so transparently incompetent and hollow. If they were even remotely capable the challenge would be much, much worse. But what Trump does for us is to set a very clear and very recognizable example of what it is that we do not want."
