"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."
~ Mona Charen
"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."
~ Andrew Coyne

"If a prominent liberal is killed, the president can mock them, blame them for their own death, and make it about himself. No one will be fired for celebrating. No one will be investigated. No one will lose their visa.
That’s it. That’s the whole thing.
The mourning requirements were never about principle. They were a loyalty test dressed up in the language of civility. And now Trump has made that impossible to deny."
"If a prominent conservative is killed, you must mourn publicly and appropriately. Quoting their own words is not allowed. Pointing out the consequences of their rhetoric is not allowed. Criticizing how their allies respond is not allowed. Failing to show sufficient grief is grounds for termination, investigation, deportation, or FCC action against your employer."
"What I find more interesting is the response — or the lack of one — from the people who spent the fall building databases of Kirk critics and demanding mass firings.
Where is Libs of TikTok declaring 'THIS IS WAR' over Trump’s callousness? Where are the calls from JD Vance to show basic human decency? Where is Pete Hegseth directing staff to identify anyone who celebrated or mocked this family tragedy?"
"Vile. Reprehensible. Evil. These words somehow are not enough to describe Trump’s comments. Even worse — his post was amplified by the White House across their official accounts. They were proud of the remarks."
"What we received instead from Donald Trump was something far darker.
This morning, Trump published a post mocking Rob Reiner’s death. He did not merely withhold condolences. He weaponized the moment. In a statement that defies decency, Trump claimed Reiner died 'reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.'”
Repulsive.
I’m at a loss for words. I didn’t know I could be more ashamed of my president than I already was.
