Based on Reiner’s comments after Kirk’s death, I doubt he’d have said anything as immature, petty, and disgusting as Trump’s comments today in your hypothetical example.

I agree with The Free Press on Trump being an unpresidential buffoon here:

Quote

Mr. President, Don’t Mock the Dead

Americans have become inured to Trump’s social media taunts. Yet he still finds ways to shock us on occasion.

Given Rob Reiner’s contributions to American culture—from his days as a sitcom star on All in the Family to his direction of iconic films such as When Harry Met Sally and A Few Good Men—it was entirely appropriate for the president of the United States to weigh in on his horrifying death over the weekend.

Sadly, the way President Donald Trump has done so is beyond the pale. His Monday post on Truth Social is worth reading in full, in part because many Republican lawmakers will spend the next few days claiming not to have seen it.

This is what we know. Reiner and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner, were found stabbed to death on Sunday. Their troubled son, 32-year-old Nick Reiner, has been arrested for their murder. There is no evidence that the slaying had anything to do with Trump. But the president has a penchant for making everything about himself, and so he has here, casting their death as somehow the result of their opposition to him and his politics.

We’re living through an era of political violence, something we take very seriously. We’ve published numerous essays on how Americans can and must come together and solve our differences the way they are meant to be solved: civil debate, the democratic process, a respectful airing of differences. Those values are at the heart of everything we do.

In his 50-plus years as a top American entertainer, Reiner—like most major Hollywood figures—was a liberal. And like a solid percentage of the country, he did not care for Trump. But there is no indication this was an act of political violence, and it is obscene for the president to try to make it into one.

Many Americans have come to expect the president to be petulant and self-centered. We’ve become inured to his wild social media ramblings. Yet he still finds ways to shock us on occasion; his statement on Reiner is exceptionally beneath the office he holds. Rob Reiner was not a political figure. He was merely an outspoken supporter of liberal causes, which of course was his right.

After a horrific weekend that included a lethal shooting at Brown University, the killing of three Americans by ISIS in Syria, and the slaughter of 16 people celebrating Hanukkah on a beach in Australia, the leader of the free world should be looking to unite Americans and condemn bigotry and violence wherever they take place in the world. Instead, he is kicking the corpse of someone who made movies that brought Americans together.

Much has been written about how social media brings out the worst in people. We saw this after Charlie Kirk was assassinated, which was celebrated by many accounts on Bluesky, a left-wing alternative to X. But the overwhelming majority of Democratic lawmakers hit the right note, condemning Kirk’s murder and calling for peace.

Now, after this awful weekend, Trump has once again lowered the bar for what we can expect from the president. His accomplishments are real, particularly in the realm of foreign policy and in securing the southern border. But there’s a casual, unthinking cruelty that sometimes runs through him. Today, that dark side of his personality was on full display.

As mentioned earlier, Reiner’s breakout role was on All in the Family, the iconic 1970s sitcom where he played the liberal foil to his father-in-law, Archie Bunker. The show and its creators skewed left, but Archie always got to make his case, and became something of a conservative icon in the process. In the end, the point of the show was that they were all family, and they did all love each other, no matter the political differences they had. Their disagreements became heated and Archie let the insults fly—“Meathead,” he called his son-in-law when they argued politics. Still, the show recognized and respected their basic decency as Americans, and as human beings.

It’s a sentiment we could use more of today, one in keeping with our country’s floundering civic religion and sense of boundaries. Instead, we’re treated to the shameful spectacle of the president of the United States mocking a man who had just been savagely murdered alongside his wife.

Trump almost certainly won’t walk it back, and the usual suspects will find some rhetorical contortions with which to defend this outburst. But there is no point in anyone defending this. It should be widely opposed—particularly by those who otherwise support him.

Please don't ask me to defend it; I have no intention to remotely try.

Interestingly, just this weekend I as telling my wife that while I like a lot of Trump's policies, I'm tiring of his unwillingness to be presidential, to be a leader to all, particularly with his Truth Social posts.  She wasn't as sure.  But after this ridiculous post, she's agreeing with me.

Trump trying to solidify his status as the president that says the most stupid, idiotic things possible?  Just unbelievable…

Totally agree and voted for him all 3 times but crap like this he says rubs me the wrong way and not cool. I'd still vote for him but this is why I'm not a die hard Trumper and never have been. I actually had Trumps Autograph picture years ago that my dad bought and gave it away to a friend that like him. I was like if he runs in a few years I'll vote for him but not a huge fan.

[naomi 361]

Yeah, Trump's post was absolute trash. He squandered a moment that could have served him well, and even most of his base cringed.

I hope he realizes and comes back with something much more dignified.

I appreciate all of the conservatives here who have condemned Trump’s post. I firmly believe that most Americans, whether liberal or conservative, are basically decent people. We need to call out the ones who aren’t.

OK let’s tell the truth. By all accounts Rob Reiner was an incredibly kind, decent guy, loved by nearly everyone in Hollywood,  liberals and conservatives alike. I don’t think I’ve ever heard him insult anyone. His response to Charlie Kirk’s murder was all class. His opposition to Trump was, so far as I know, based on policy differences. In the political realm, Reiner’s greatest accomplishment was getting gay marriage approved by the Supreme Court, which I think most people approve of these days. 
 

Per your comment about what the left would have said if Trump had been murdered, no doubt you’re right about some. But I can almost guarantee you that Rob Reiner would not have been one of them.

Let’s just ignore Reiner’s comments the day after Rush died.

No let’s not. Based on the article you linked he said that Rush lied about climate change (an accurate statement.) Not an insult, a comment about policy. Hardly objectionable IMO.

What he said about Limbaugh has been overblown, and he said classy things in the aftermath of the Kirk killing. Rush died of health failure, not an act of terrible violence.

Regardless of whatever Reiner said about Rush, it is mental illness to justify the nasty, classless things Trump said about a brutally murdered Reiner. Stupid comparison. You are human filth for trying to defend Trump here.

Jack White nailed it nicely.

James Woods, who has been vocally pro-Donald Trump, is speaking out against the “distasteful” comments made about Rob Reiner.

Woods, who starred in Reiner’s “Ghosts of Mississippi” in 1996, opened up about his late friend during an appearance on Fox News on Monday night, revealing that he was at a low point and landing that job turned it around.

“Rob literally saved my career and really put me back on track in a way that was so important and rewarding in my life. He really fought for me when a studio didn’t want me in a movie,” Woods said. “I went from really being basically out of a job to getting an Academy Award nomination, and I give all the credit to Rob.”
