Let’s be clear about what’s happening here.

Trump mocked the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner, and the backlash didn’t come from Democrats. It came from his own MAGA allies, openly condemning the post as cruel and unhinged.

That’s the story: not partisan spin, but a moment where Trump crossed a line so obvious that even his base said no. When cruelty costs you your own supporters, it’s not optics. It’s character.
