I PUT THE ONE WORD IN BOLD FOR YOU, BELOW."LITTLE."
Every time Trump pulls shit like this, he thinks it's a display of power, rather than driving home what a wretched LITTLE "man" he is.

No Such Thing as Worst
The off-the-rails rants of a jealous demagogue diminish all of us

Congratulations, Donald. Once again, you have gone out of your way to prove, to anyone who doesnt already know, that you are a depraved, deviant, damaged little man who cannot bear the thought that there are people in this world who are talented, valued, and lovedthree things you are not. You cannot stomach the thought that anybody else, for any reason, would take the spotlight. And who are you without that? The most fitting punishment for you would be a mirrorless room without access to the internet or sycophants who continue to believe or pretend to believe that anything you do or say matters. You are beyond redemption.
In the wake of the horrific murders of the universally beloved Rob and Michele Reiner, Donald chose to prop himself up by demeaning them. The weapon of the truly weak and pathetic, Donald proves once and for all that he is capable of the lowest low. There is no worst, there is only worse. Donalds reaction to this tragedy was simply more of the same.
The qualities that Rob and Michele Reiner embodiedtheir creativity, artistry, empathy, compassion, kindness, generosity, their understanding of the human condition, their true desire to make the world a better placeare beyond Donald. These are attributes that he could never embody. Instead, he chooses pettiness, jealousy, and cruelty. He proved that definitively when he posted this this morning:
*****
He wrote this before we knew anything beyond the fact that Rob and Michele Reiner had been found dead in their home. Who responds this way? Only the thirstiest, weakest, and most depraved of men. Because Donald is irredeemably himself, he did not retract this statement; he didnt apologize or write something decent and appropriate. In fact, he doubled down. This is what he had to say in the Oval Office this afternoon.
