The word 'deranged' springs to mind.

Narcissistic and demented.

RFK Jnrs current wife Cheryl Hines (yes, from Curb Your Enthusiasm) used to be Reiner's personal assistant.

Could be a very awkward one for RFK if his wife is as disgusted by Trump's words as the majority of folks are.

Trump won't be happy the wife of one of his people posted such a lovely tribute to the Reiners.

I’m American. I’m so ashamed of what DT said. It’s beyond vile.

Canadian cousin here. We sit observing in utter horror here. 💐

Honestly judging by how he's treated the previous women in his life I doubt he gives a f*ck what she thinks.

Trump I guess could be understood as a failed movie star. He was always desperate for the attention of these people so now there's horrendous things happening it's schadenfreude for him

RoamingToaster · 15/12/2025 20:40

I thought Trump couldn’t surprise me but he has. I know his life long supporters will say he’s trolling the libs but really it’s just so clear he’s got some personality disorder. He has to make it about himself. Despite having such a charmed life he can’t be the bigger person. He can’t take others disagreeing with him to the point that he mocks their tragic deaths.

Aren't the Epstein files being released in full this week? That's probably not helping Donald's temperament and general extreme twatishness.

He's an absolute fucking horror of a guy. Drove his estranged wife to suicide, gave her the full Kennedy funeral against her family's wishes and then had her coffin dug up and moved to a distant corner of the cemetery a week later. Not even the tip of the iceberg.

Whoa Trump has really outdone himself with this one.

Lalgarh · 15/12/2025 22:26

NBC are reporting that the son actually attended a party with his parents on the Saturday night that was hosted by Conan O'Brien before the killing

Read that too. Apparently Rob and his son had a heated argument, and that Nick had had 17 rehab stints.

I had a look at the comments on Breitbart, and the Trumpsters are making no excuses for the orange turd they are full of glee.

James Woods, a super Trump fan, put out a heartfelt tweet apparently, and now MAGA are piling onto him.

They turn on their own in an instant at the faintest whiff of less than full and utter ideological purity.

Holluschickie · 16/12/2025 02:59

Am still really sad that this is what RR will now be remembered for, instead of his creative genius. I need to rewatch his films and remember him for that.

And yet they tried to make us feel guilty when we pointed out Charlie Kirk’s disgusting views.

This is partly why I refused to say kind words about Charlie like some “liberals” did when they felt they should be the “bigger person”. I knew MAGA wouldn’t if the tables were turned.

No I don’t and didn’t celebrate his death but I did point out his attitude towards school shootings and guns.

I was thinking the same thing. I might watch Stand By Me at the weekend. It always leaves a tinge of melancholy because of River but it's a knockout film and will make a nice change from the saccharine Christmas ones I'm currently ingesting.

RR produced a film in 2015 based on his sons life and multiple drug rehab attempts called Being Charlie. His son was the screenwriter.

The character doesn't come across as particularly sympathetic and even says so in the film

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/nick-reiner-rob-being-charlie-b2884818.html

Interesting insight into how his son portrayed the psychiatrist visits to his parents

"...Being Charlie is about the tensions between Mills and his parents, who are desperate for him to get clean and insist he checks into rehab on the advice of counselors, despite his insistence that he does not find the treatment helpful or conducive to recovery. The film attempts to address both perspectives in the interest of helping other families facing comparable situations.
Rob Reiner told The Los Angeles Times upon the film’s release: “When Nick would tell us that it wasn’t working for him, we wouldn’t listen. We were desperate and because the people had diplomas on their wall, we listened to them when we should have been listening to our son.”
“We were so influenced by these people,” Michele Reiner added. “They would tell us he’s a liar, that he was trying to manipulate us. And we believed them.”..."

So they chose to believe and stand by their son.

Who is Nick Reiner, son of Rob Reiner, arrested after his parents were found stabbed?

Honestly if you are an American Republican I am so sorry for you. You deserve so much better than this vile excuse for a human being. Time the devil came and took this scumbag….anc I never wish death on anyone. I will actually cheer the day this one hits the deck and I hope that’s real soon too.

RoamingToaster · 16/12/2025 14:14

It must be awkward to be a principled conservative and to be completely against Trump. Most republicans fell into line after seeing what happened with people like Liz Cheney. I imagine most think once Trump goes that will be it but I don’t think so. The party and politics have changed.

I actually have some champagne that was a gift a while back and it is going in the fridge to chill the day the headline breaks that this maggot of person is gone.

I think you are right, Trump is foul but the people in the shadows at the White House who enable him and never put the breaks on him are still going to be there when he is gone. In a sense they have used to test the water as to how much they can get away with and they must be thrilled with the result. It will be a relief to never see his Cuprinol-glazed face again and to never have to listen to his whining madness but I dread who they will replace him with

ThePoshUns · 16/12/2025 14:31

I celebrated when he went the last time, was devastated when he returned for a second term.

I agree with much of this, but I am not sure all will survive when he is gone.

Likes of Rubio will keep going, but Hegseth will likely not be touched by any ones bargepole. Many of these solicitors he hired and then promoted to well above their ability are already in the wilderness.

And lets not forget Giuliani, or Mike Lindel the pillow guy.

The orange turd just leaves total devastation in his wake.

It's common knowledge their son Nick is in custody; police have said he was "responsible" for the deaths; it looks like he had held for medical assessment.
