About this listen

Episode Two dissects Trump's shocking December 15, 2025 Truth Social post suggesting Rob and Michele Reiner died due to Rob's Trump Derangement Syndrome, posted within hours of their murders. The episode chronicles rare Republican backlash from figures like Thomas Massie and Marjorie Taylor Greene, conservative commentators calling it indefensible, and Trump's decision to double down rather than walk it back. It examines the hypocrisy given the Charlie Kirk assassination context, Trump's history of disrespecting the deceased, the erosion of political norms around tragedy, and the cruel secondary trauma inflicted on the Reiner children whose private grief became political spectacle.
