AI Gemini: The search results do not provide a direct quote from Rob Reiner regarding the assassination attempts on Donald Trump.

 

However, they do reference comments Reiner made about another political assassination:

 

Reiner expressed "horror — absolute horror" at the killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

 

He stated, "That should never happen to anybody. I don't care what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable. That's not a solution to solving problems."

 

It's pretty telling then that he didn't give Trump the same consideration, dont'cha think?  That's The Syndrome for you.  Reiner was unhinged with it.

I'm not thinking or saying anything anymore about Trump's comments except he could have shown some respect and waited a bit.

I don't disagree.  But the press was going to hound him until they got a statement from him.  Mostly because they were hoping Trump would be Trump and say something negative about the guy whose unhinged rhetoric may have incited someone to shoot him in the head.  They weren't about to let him "wait a bit".  So he got out ahead of it.

This is not good from Trump. Yes, Reiner was on the fully woke side of things but as with Kirk political and social views shouldn't be used for political gain after a murder. These two were murdered by their son who has huge drug problems. Trump's focus should have been on this senseless murder NOT himself.  It seems this happened after a huge argument.

Reiners' son made guests uneasy at party day before his parents were found dead, sources say
Two sources told NBC News that Nick Reiner, 32, interrupted a conversation at the party, which was hosted by comedian Conan O'Brien.

 

LOS ANGELES — Nick Reiner had been disruptive at a holiday party Saturday with his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, according to two people familiar with the situation, just hours before they were found dead in their Los Angeles home.

 

Nick Reiner, who was arrested Sunday and later booked on suspicion of murder, made other guests uncomfortable with his behavior at the holiday party, which was hosted by comedian Conan O’Brien, one person said. Another person said Reiner’s parents were upset and embarrassed about their son’s behavior at the party and expressed worries about his health.

What happened in their relationship that lead to the son murdering his parents. Obviously there was some serious issues between them.

My understanding is that a murderer cannot profit from "their" criminal actions. As per California Legal Code. This is commonly referred to the Slayer Statute. If this wasn't in effect, people would have a motive to kill relatives for the inheritance.

 

PROBATE CODE 

SECTION 250-259

250. (a) A person who feloniously and intentionally kills the decedent is not entitled to any of the following:

(1) Any property, interest, or benefit under a will of the decedent, or a trust created by or for the benefit of the decedent or in which the decedent has an interest, including any general or special power of appointment conferred by the will or trust on the killer and any nomination of the killer as executor, trustee, guardian, or conservator or custodian made by the will or trust.

(2) Any property of the decedent by intestate succession.

(3) Any of the decedent's quasi-community property the killer would otherwise acquire under Section 101 or 102 upon the death of the decedent.

(4) Any property of the decedent under Part 5 (commencing with Section 5700) of Division 5.

(5) Any property of the decedent under Part 3 (commencing with Section 6500) of Division 6.

 

(b) In the cases covered by subdivision (a):

(1) The property interest or benefit referred to in paragraph 

(1) of subdivision (a) passes as if the killer had predeceased the decedent and Section 21110 does not apply.

(2) Any property interest or benefit referred to in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) which passes under a power of appointment and by reason of the death of the decedent passes as if the killer had predeceased the decedent, and Section 673 not apply.

(3) Any nomination in a will or trust of the killer as executor, trustee, guardian, conservator, or custodian which becomes effective as a result of the death of the decedent shall be interpreted as if the killer had predeceased the decedent.

I really do not understand why TRUMP is becoming such a focal point of this discussion concerning the hacking-to-death of Rob Reiner.

I mean, Reiner's major accomplishment in life was humor and film making. He made a good film about kids on a railroad track, as I recall.

 

Reiner was not that much of a political figure, or great thinker, or intellectual, was he?

His father, Carl, was smarter, and attended Georgetown, as I recall.

 

So, if we care what Trump might think about Rob, I care FAR MORE about what Noam Chomsky would say about Rob's political views.

Noam and Rob were both Jews, for example.

Chomsky was ten-times smarter, of course.

But, Chomsky never made films, and rarely told jokes, maybe...or did he?

 

More importantly, did Rob ever read and ponder the thought of Noam?

I did a search, but was unable to find much.

 

What would Noam say about this news, and about Rob?

But, no need to mention the unmentionable, Trump, I guess.

I'm getting tired of Trump, though I never tire of listening to my man, Noam...

 

 

 

There are some mentally ill people on this thread. I used to think that the Trump supporters on this board were paid Trolls or AI, until I spoke to a friend of mine. He was reeling out all of the catchphrases; Deranged, Unhinged, Hate.

After talking for a few hours, he realised that is what he had become. Deranged, unhinged and hateful. Didn't realise that he had been sucked in by the deranged, unhinged and hateful Trump cult. It's only because we have known each other for very many years, that we could even listen to each other and sort out the wheat from the chaff.

Shocking to see posters here still trying to excuse his behaviour. They have been completely taken in and refuse to accept what is right in front of their faces.

The son was fundamentally unbalanced.

He seems to have been unbalanced for years.

 

In family photos, he does not smile, and glares instead.

 

Perhaps he was psychotic, or schizophrenic, and perhaps such a diagnosis was never released.

 

Normal sons do not murder their parents by hacking them to death with a knife.

 

Also, we cannot say that this family was not, at some level, dysfunctional.

I think what is shocking is that people want to pay attention to the reaction to this crime, rather than the crime itself.

 

A man and his wife were brutally murdered. By all accounts a good man, a decent man, one of the rare men who did not cheat on his spouse. Also a man who is one of the top creative minds of his generation.  The focus should be on him and his wife, not on what some politician says about it. 

 

I am sure that Mr. Reiner would have preferred us to celebrate his work and the joy he brought to millions of people rather than being lost in a game of political "gotcha". 

Let me guess... Hanaguma a Trump supporter on this forum?

Thank you, a voice of reason in the wilderness of delusion. It's always quite pathetic when Trump supporters refer to anyone else as hateful, and completely ignore the mad rantings and pathetic and very hateful delusions of their deranged master.

Simply because in his later years Reiner had become much more well known for constantly writing deranged lies about the President. That really took some doing to allow his mental illness to overshadow his entire career. He is not alone, DeNiro did exactly the same, and there are quite a few others.

 

Stand by me was an incredible movie.

US President Donald Trump has spoken out on the death of director Rob Reiner and his wife, claiming it was through him causing anger to others through a "mind crippling disease".

 

Speaking on Truth Social, he said: "A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease ...........(deleted)

 

"He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!

 

link cannot be provided as it contains words referring to a psychological condition, even though Trump uttered the words himself.

 

 

What got me was the difference between the condolences of both Barack Obama and Gavin Newson and those of  the President of the United States. 
A Touch of Class.

I don't see where I brought partisan politics into it @Hanaguma  The lunatics in the USA have nothing to do with me. I'm referring to a scumbag, who happens to be president of the USA. It wouldn't matter if he were to the Left or to the Right. He just lacks common decency. It seems even Epstein was right about him. Nowt to do with politics. Just a comment on that person's behaviour. Every child is taught to not speak ill of the dead. What does that say about him supporting old fashioned traditions? He cares only about himself, not people. The worst of humanity. Nothing to do with politics. he should be setting an example. Unfortunately, he is. The worst of humanity happily lap it up and re-enact it for all to see. We see them posting the catchphrases here on a daily basis. Sick people who are blind to their hatred.

Yes those on the right constantly display great judgement by trying to defend the POTUS's snide, insensitive remarks about an individual shortly after that individual has apparently been murdered by his son!

 

Thankfully, I've never been blessed with the ability to make such good decisions.

Rob Reiner's  career most certainly did not go pear shaped. He was still mentoring, writing and producing. He chose to start cutting back on his workload at age 73. Let's see if you can still get people to seek you out to work with them when you are 78. He was the go to guy who people sought out for advice and help. His recent on screen appearances were for fun and to work with his friends.

 

He was not a rabid leftie. His work on behalf of charities and the general community is legendary.  More importantly, the man was a good husband, father and colleague. How many people can say they had the amount of respect that he had, a successful career without blemish, a solid marriage and who was universally liked?

 

A 78 year old man and his 68 year old wife, who was also well regarded and talented,  were killed by a mentally ill child and this is what you say. Unlike many people, the Reiners stuck by a troubled and sick child. they didn't dump him on the state and they didn't abandon him which is what many people do. They certainly demonstrated a greater degree of family values than their detractors. It is reprehensible to make idiotic references to the man's political views as if they had any bearing to this tragedy.

 

I don't think that this time the US population will be as forgiving of hateful ignorant attacks.

Unfortunately, like most people who obsess over Trump, there’s usually a deeper personal failure driving the fixation. In Reiner’s case, it looks like a lifetime of bad decisions and family dysfunction finally boiled over. When your own house is a mess and your legacy is embarrassment, it’s easier to rage at politics than face the reality staring back at you.

Are you referring to Donald Trump @NickyLouie? 

 

Mary Trump, a clinical psychologist and Donald Trump's niece, offers scathing critiques of her uncle, portraying him as a deeply damaged, narcissistic individual shaped by a toxic family environment, highlighting his cruelty, lack of empathy, and arrested development, while also revealing family secrets, including tax fraud and neglect, and warning of his detrimental impact on democracy. She argues his success stems from family favoritism, a need to appear great over being good, and constant protection from failures, making him incapable of evolution and a significant threat to the nation. 

 

Key Themes in Her Commentary & Book, Too Much and Never Enough

• Cruelty & Incompetence: 

  She details instances of his cruelty, like throwing baseballs at children, and asserts his political actions reflect the "worst effects" of his pathologies, making him unfit for leadership. 

   

• Family Secrets: 

  Her book revealed how Donald received millions in family support, engaged in tax fraud, and how the family neglected her father (Donald's brother), contributing to his early death. 

   

• Political Threat: 

  Mary views a second Trump term as a disaster for democracy, believing he is an "irreparably broken person" who will only worsen the nation's political state, emphasizing his rhetoric and actions pose threats to stability. 

• Childhood Trauma & Narcissism: 

  Mary describes a dysfunctional family where Donald was rewarded for being a "phony," leading to deep-seated insecurity, lack of self-awareness, and a narcissistic personality that avoids accountability. 

   

Do you have any evidence of her ever stating anything to the contrary, @NickyLouie or is being on your knees to Donald Trump your assumed position?
