   Trump's comments regarding Rob Reiner highlighted BOTH his   
   lack of political coy AND the pandemic of mental illness   
   that now plagues our society.   
      
   There are a number of not-at-all-subtle differences here   
   that, none the less, the afflicted cannot grasp.   
      
   Kirk was executed for thought crimes, and millions rejoiced,   
   many calling for more Thought Crime executions. Reiner's   
   death was pure tragedy.   
      
   Reiner expressed hate towards Trump. Directly. It was   
   personal. Reiner gushed personal insults, hate directly   
   towards Trump. Kirk didn't even know that his murderer   
   existed. He never met or could possibly recognize almost   
   all the people celebrating his death, and calling for   
   the death of his wife, children and political figures.   
      
   There was no personal injury.   
      
   In short, Trump reacted as someone who is NOT a politician   
   would react towards an enemy that had died tragically in   
   a manner that he -- the enemy -- was personally involved in.   
      
   Worse, this enemy chose to be Trump's enemy. Trump didn't   
   make any personal attacks on him. No, this deceased enemy   
   had, in a sense, picked a fight with Trump. And, no, NOT   
   over policies or "Just" policies. The hatred was toward   
   Trump himself.   
      
   Yes, it was classic Trump in that it was pretty low brow.   
   It's what YOU would say, or even what I might say but not   
   the kind of remark a politician is supposed to say.   
      
   However...   
      
   Did they not only recently elect a man on the same end   
   of the political spectrum as Reiner who called for the   
   deaths of his opponent and his opponents children?   
      
   Trump, not being a politician, only accounted for reality   
   and failed to account for the mental illness pandemic and   
   how it undoubtedly would prefer to interpret his remarks.
