Audio and summary
Who cares what Trump said about Reiner. Like really, who cares about mean tweets. What should be a bigger story is that Michelle Obama said on some talk show, that the night before, she and Barry had dinner plans plans with the Reiners. Yet, there she was, 24 hours later, on TV, after her good friends had been murdered, on TV, talking about dinner plans with the murdered friends. What a psychopath.
Apparently you throw around that denigrating characterization with little provocation or training as to when it’s properly used. I’ll bet you’ve met a lot of “psychopaths” along your life’s journey. As far as I know I haven’t met even one. I’m a lucky guy. apparently, but there might be one near you right now! Time to start packing that revolver?
You’ve never met a psychopath? Of course you haven’t! Psychopaths like yourself are often unaware that they are psychopathic. That’s what makes them psychopaths.
Then, by your standards I might be Albanian. I MIGHT be almost anything, but it’s a generally accepted concept that a random person cannot give a credible medical or psychological analysis for someone they don’t know in any personal way. So, just how seriously am I to ponder anything at all you say to me that’s either notably denigrating or admirable? Those lanes require more credibility. All I know about you is that you easily rush to the strongest sorts of judgmental opinions and give undeserved confidence to your impression. A wise man would ponder the truth such things.

IP – I wonder whether the people in Hollywood and politicians like the former president and his wife have any real friends. Some do, I suppose, but many/most may be so self-centered that their participation in a “friendship” is simply a game to be played to gain position, visibility and wealth. I suspect, that’s all that is happening here, she was able to get on TV again to talk about a tragedy, something “personal” to her to provide the appearance of empathy, gain visibility and position herself for the next interview. I know, sounds nuts, but who would proactively go… Read more »
Reiner choose to be an operative in the coup attempt of ‘Russia Hoax’ No nice person. Same with Pritzker.
Pritzker you should watch your own derogatory remarks before commenting on President Trump. Pritzker you can dish it out but can’t take it , we’re are your tweets, remarks about what Reiner said when Trump was shot, nobody cares what you think anymore, I’m not surprised you would come out with a statement like this, remember Reiner hated President Trump as you do also.
The murder of Reiner and his wife is tragic, especially by their own son, but for Jumbo to try and get some mileage out of it by turning the blame on Trump illustrates again, who and what he is. He has more comment about Hollywood than he does about the damaged and murdered people of Illinois. Trump’s comments about Reiner were mean and blunt, that’s who he is, I don’t like how he says things sometimes, but he is a blunt NY’er with good and bad social skills.
Your last sentence, good and bad social skills really pertains to all of us.
JB more and more like a gossipy middle schooler that can’t get his homework done but has plenty of time to yammer about what Susie said to Jane about Bobby after gym class. With all his self- inflicted garbage, what Trump said about anyone should be the furthest thing from his mind.
