I agree. I wasn't a fan of Rob Reiner's political views but he did some great work in the entertainment business. My first memories of him were watching All in the Family re-runs as a kid.

Anyway, Reiner was pretty tough on Trump and there was talk that he was in on the Russia collusion thing. He was vocal about his opinions. However, at least he classy after Charlie Kirk was shot.

As for Trump supporters' reactions, it was cringy to see some of the comments in the article that talked about Trump's post. No doubt that there were plenty of tasteless remarks from the left after the Charlie Kirk shooting but two wrongs don't make a right.

For fuck's sake, what about optics if nothing else.

He's never really cared much about optics, yet at the same time, it seems that he wants everyone's approval and he's bothered when people disapprove of him.

Also Reiner wasn't really influential publicly nor powerful in policy. He had a big mouth but outside entertainment he was a yapping Pomeranian.

True. Trump should have been above having to take a swipe at him. He should have just expressed his condolences and moved on, or said nothing if he was that bothered by the guy.
