Three Presidents Eulogize Rob and Michele Reiner

Famed Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were knifed to death in the Los Angeles home Sunday evening, and their 32-year-old son has been arrested for the bloody murders.  Donald Trump, who was not a fan of Rob Reiner, could have issued a generic statement of condolence or he could have remained quiet.   But Trump, who lacks the ability or dignity to remain quiet when he smells an opportunity to troll, stormed onto social media and banged out one of his most reprehensible and disgusting postings ever.  With Trump, the objective is always to make things about himself while tearing down others, and he did that in spades!

Here is what the President of the United States had to say about two murders and a family tragedy in Los Angeles:

"A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood.  Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once a 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 known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS.  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 as never before.  May Rob and Michele rest in peace."

Quiet, Piggy.  It wasn't about you.

Here is how another United States President eulogized Reiner in a social media post.  Barack and Michelle Obama were scheduled to meet with the Reiners in the evening on the same day they were murdered.  Barack Obama had this to say about the tragedy that enveloped the Reiner family:  

"Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele.  Rob's achievements in film and television gave us some of our most beloved stories on screen.  But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people - and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action.   Together he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose.   They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired.  We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them."

That's how you do it, Piggy.

And finally, this from Bill Clinton, another President of the United States:

"Hillary and I are heartbroken by the tragic deaths of our friends Rob and Michele Reiner.  They inspired and uplifted millions through their work in film and television.  And they were good, generous people who made everyone who knew them better through their active citizenship in defense of inclusive democraccy, setting an example for us all to follow.  Hillary and I will always be grateful for their friendship, unfailing kindness, and support."

Are you getting the full picture, Piggy?   Any old hog can wallow around in a gilded sty and believe himself to be loved and important, but it takes a person with empathy and respect for others to be presidential and successfully carry the weight and responsibility of the office.    The presidency is about building people up, not tearing them down, and it is about making life better and providing opportunities for all - not just your family and rich cronies.

Piggy, give the hate speech a rest.  It diminishes you, bigly.
