Today’s quotes (there are a series of them) are brought to us in the latest article from political writer/commentator Larry Elder. They are comments made over the years by Rob Reiner, about Donald Trump. They include:
“Mentally unfit”;
“(The) single most unqualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States.”
“I’m going to tell you the truth. You have a complete and utter lying buffoon. He’s a fraud. He lies. He cheats people. Everything that comes out of his mouth virtually is a lie. And he’s a con man. And if you look at what he’s done with his career and how he’s tricked people into things, it’s abhorrent. I never liked George W. Bush, his polices, but I didn’t hate the guy. I hate this man.”
“Not only does he not understand how government works. He has no interest in trying to find out how it works.”
“You have one candidate, Trump, who actually tells you he’s going to govern like an authoritarian.”
“Do we want fascism, or do we want to continue the 248 years of self-rule? Do we want to continue democracy, or do we want to slip into fascism?”
“He wants to destroy the Constitution, go after his political enemies and turn America into an autocracy? We see autocracy making its move around the world. And, so, if we crumble, there’s a danger that democracy crumbles around the world.”
When Reiner and his wife were murdered by their son, Donald Trump made
some very insulting comments about him. I wrote my strong disapproval of the fact that he did so, and stand by that now as well.
However…
…Trump did not come close to being as personally insulting toward Reiner as Reiner was to him. Over and over again.
I award Larry Elder Quote(s) Of The Day honors for showing us that, however low class Trump’s comments about Reiner were, a case can be made for understanding why he made them.
