Trump EXPOSED by Susie Wiles, Nick Fuentes Condemns Trump, & Nick Reiner’s Blood Covered Hotel Room
PDS Published 12/16/2025
-
Donald Trump’s post about Rob Reiner seems to have struck a nerve that his supporters are finding very hard to ignore.
Right, there’s been a ton of reactions to it, and some of them … let’s just say you might wanna be seated for this one.
So to start off, I should mention a couple of updates in the Reiner case itself.
Because we’ve now gotten reports that Rob and his wife Michele got into a “very loud argument” with their son Nick at a party at Conan O’Brian’s home before leaving Saturday night. [Headline and Image and image]
And of course, when their bodies were found the next morning, Nick was the prime suspect.
Hence why he’s now reportedly in jail on suspicion of murder without bail, and we’ve seen photos of the moment he was arrested. [Show top three photos]
Right, reportedly he was at a subway station 15 miles from his parents’ house; you see the cops shoving him to the ground and handcuffing him. [Same assets]
With hotel staff reportedly finding blood all over the shower of his room, a trail of blood leading off his bed, and bed sheets covering the window. [Quote, find “shower”]
So police said they would present their case to the LA District Attorney, and prosecutors are expected to file charges by the end of Wednesday. [Quote, find “file charges”]
Okay, now onto the reactions, starting with — and I’ll reread it just to refresh y’all — Trump’s post.
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” [Post]
And in case there were any doubts that was official, the White House’s rapid response account on X reposted it. [Post]
But later on, a reporter was like, mr president, surely you don’t really mean that, right? [Lead B roll into clip]
[Clip, 00:06 - 00:38] Caption: [Reporter:] “Do you stand by that post?” [Donald Trump:] “Well I wasn’t a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He said — he knew it was false, in fact it’s the exact opposite — that I was a friend of Russia, controlled by Russia, the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself career wise. He became like a deranged person. Trump derangement syndrome. So I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all, in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country.”
And to many, him doubling down like that was jarring not only because he called this tragically murdered, beloved filmmaker “deranged” for having different politics than him, but also because he referred to himself in the third person as “Trump.”
[Clip, 00:10 - 00:13] Caption: “He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.”
You know what? If y’all don’t like and share this video with everyone you know, you’re all deranged people as far as Phil is concerned.
Okay, so as you’d expect, there was universal outrage and disgust from the entire left wing of the political spectrum.
[Clip, 02:16 - 02:27] Caption: “It’s so hateful and vile. When I first saw it, I thought it was fake. My wife showed it to me this morning. I was like, well even for him that seemed like too much, but nothing is ever too much for him.”
As well as from the “center,” if you want to call it that, though people argue about whether Piers is liberal or conservative. [Lead B roll into clip]
[Clip, 00:45 - 00:50]
But the most surprising reactions came from the right, even much of the MAGA right. [Post 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8]
With nearly all the big names who had anything to say about this expressing some form of discomfort or disgust, and I say “nearly” because some took a different tack, which we’ll get into. [Same posts]
But you had the talking heads on Fox News seeming pretty much unanimous on Trump’s post. [Lead B roll into clip]
[Clip, 00:44 - 01:01]
With several Republican lawmakers also chiming in, including, as we saw yesterday, Marjorie Taylor Greene, but also Mike Lawler, Stephanie Bice, and John Kennedy. [Post, post, post]
[Clip, 00:14 - 00:23] Caption: “I think when the president says these sorts of things, it detracts from his policy achievements.”
But still, it was crickets from most of the GOP, with Senator Thomas Massie commenting:
“I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid?” [Post]
And in response, the GOP leadership was basically like, yep.
With Senate Majority Leader John Thune declining to comment on Trump’s post when asked about it by reporters, and House Speaker Mike Johnson essentially saying it’s not worth his time.
[Clip, 00:11 - 00:20] Caption: [Mike Johnson:] “I don’t do ongoing commentary about everything that’s said by everybody in government every day.” [Reporter:] “That’s the president of the United States.” [Mike Johnson:] “We’re trying to bring down healthcare costs for the American people.”
Hell, even Nick Fuentes had enough of a spine to criticize Trump for this, and he really didn’t hold back.
[Clip, 00:00 - 00:04, 00:13 - 00:19, 00:50 - 00:56, 01:18 - 01:20, 02:49 - 03:01, 03:11 - 03:19] Caption: “This is ugly rhetoric. It is ugly. It is actually evil. … Nobody deserves that. I don’t care what their politics are, what they said on the internet or on television. … Now, if Trump were actually doing what he promised to do, you could overlook the fact that he’s a douchebag. … But what’s actually the pitch now? … You go on Truth Social and make a joke about Trump derangement syndrome? It just goes to show there was never anything there. There was never a center. It was always empty. … You thought at one time that Trump really believe in America, believed in people or something. I think he believes honestly in nothing.”
But with all that said, you also saw a handful of people on the right actually taking Trump’s side, though in a few different ways.
Right, first you have Jack Posobiec [Pronounce 00:19], one of the people whose post claiming that nobody on the right will celebrate Reiner’s murder aged like moldy cheese in the Sun, desperately trying to save face with a follow-up post. [Post]
Writing: “Libs are trying to Community Note this with Trump's post. Where is the celebration in Trump's post? He isn't celebrating, he is warning.” [Post]
Then, on a level of directness even higher than that, you saw Trump advisor Alex Bruesewitz [Pronounce 01:23] writing:
“I’m not going to participate in the fake outrage at President Trump for his response to Rob Reiner. Rob Reiner called for Trump to be arrested and charged with treason, a crime punishable by death. He was quite nasty toward the President. Regardless, RIP!” [Post]
And finally, the most direct and unashamed of all is Laura Loomer, who wrote:
“Psychosis is a real thing. Rob Reiner had a level of TDS that likely exuded a level of craziness around those he spent time with. Many people who have crazy kids have psychiatric issues themselves. You’ll notice a lot of celebrities have kids with addictions, trans kids, gay kids, spoiled kids, kids who commit crimes, and kids who are total dead beat losers because many were raised to have no accountability by parents who subscribe to hardcore liberalism. Trump is right. Reiner himself sounded insane when he would speak. Imagine how crazy his own kid was… on drugs.” [Post]
But one last point I wanna touch on with this story is something that’s arguably in the same ballpark as Trump’s post but has gotten far less attention.
And that is the call for a mass expulsion of Muslims from the United States.
Right, I’m not kidding — after the anti-Semitic terror attack in Australia, two Republican congressmen didn’t even bother qualifying that their target is “radical” Muslims; they just attacked Islam as a whole.
With Tommy Tuberville [Toober-vill] writing: “Islam is not a religion. It's a cult. Islamists aren't here to assimilate. They're here to conquer. Stop worrying about offending the pearl clutchers. We've got to SEND THEM HOME NOW or we'll become the United Caliphate of America.” [Post]
As well as Randy Fine saying: “This has to stop. Diversity is not our strength. Diversity has become suicidal. It is time for a Muslim travel ban, radical deportations of all mainstream Muslim legal and illegal immigrants, and citizenship revocations wherever possible. Mainstream Muslims have declared war on us. The least we can do is kick them the hell out of America.” [Post]
And then adding: “Islamophobia isn’t real. Fear of Islam is rational.” [Post]
And just like with the Trump post, Mike Johnson’s office refused to comment on Tuberville and Fine’s comments when asked about them by The Washington Post. [Quote, find “deferred”]
But as some have pointed out, this kind of unabashed Islamophobia isn’t new; it’s been festering for a long time.
Right, you saw it of course with Donald Trump as far back as 2015.
[Clip, 00:00 - 00:14]
And more recently, he’s called Somali immigrants garbage, advocated deporting all of them and said Ilhan Omar should be stripped of her citizenship and kicked out.
Also, last month Representative Brandon Gill said much the same thing as Tuberville and Fine did now, with him writing:
“we imported Islamic terrorism in just the last few decades through our suicidal immigration system. It was a policy choice. The reality is that not all cultures are morally equal. Islam is incompatible with our culture and our governing system. Radical Islamists seek to fundamentally destroy our way of life. Why would we allow them to immigrate here? Islamic ideology has no place in the West, and it’s time our immigration system recognizes this.” [Quote]
With the House Freedom Caucus commenting on that post: “True.”
But even supposedly more moderate conservatives like Ben Shapiro seemed to suggest yesterday that Muslim immigration as a whole is dangerous. [Lead B roll into clip]
[Clip, 09:30 - 09:45] Caption: “There are good people inside every religion. The question of course is whether, when you import an enormous number of people of any particular religion, that changes the culture of the country, or whether it creates enclaves that are dangerous to the rest of the country.”
All of this despite the fact that Muslim groups and Arab governments have widely condemned the violence in Australia and elsewhere, and of course the guy who tackled one of the shooters was himself a Muslim.

Fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction.
That’s what Donald Trump has now claimed in the 221st executive order of his second term.
Which, by the way, means he has now signed more executive orders in 2025 than during his first four years in office – a full one-third of which have been challenged in court. []
And while it’s not yet clear whether this latest one will spark legal action, it’s definitely controversial.
Right, specifically, it designates “illicit fentanyl and its core precursor chemicals as Weapons of Mass Destruction.” []
Claiming that “the potential for fentanyl to be weaponized for concentrated, large-scale terror attacks by organized adversaries is a serious threat to the United States.” []
And directing the heads of relevant executive departments and agencies to take additional steps to combat the drug.
Including by telling the Defense and Attorney General “to determine whether the threats posed by illicit fentanyl” is enough to justify providing military resources to the Justice Department. []
This may be the administration’s latest effort to provide legal cover for lethal strikes on boats it has said – without providing evidence – are carrying drugs into the US.
The military carried out another three of those strikes just yesterday in the eastern Pacific – killing eight people and bringing the total death toll to at least ninety-five.
And that’s as it has also brought warships to the region, seized a Venezuelan oil tanker, and been flying aircraft near Venezuelan airspace.
Which I mention not only because it’s part of Trump's pressure campaign on Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro but also because one of them may have almost caused a deadly accident last week.
Right, because on Friday, a JetBlue pilot reported that a U.S. Air Force plane passed in front of him without broadcasting its position – having this conversation with air traffic control:
“They passed directly in our flight path. We had to stop our climb. They are not painting. They don’t have their transponder turned on, it’s outrageous.”
“JetBlue 1-1-1-2. Yes, I don’t have anything on my scope. But they’ve been outrageous with the unidentified aircraft within our airspace. You are totally right, sir.”
“I apologize. If you can make a note of it, we almost had a midair collision up here.” (Audio: 0:20-0:47)
But with all that, back to Trump’s designation of fentanyl as a WMD, it’s not clear if and what kind of practical impact this order will have.
Fentanyl is already illegal – and the idea that it is likely to be weaponized for “concentrated, large-scale terror attacks” is contested to say the least.
There is reportedly one documented instance of fentanyl being used as a bioweapon – a 2002 hostage crisis in Moscow during which Russian security services released gas believed to contain an “aerosolized fentanyl analogue” into a theater.
Where it succeeded in killing the 40 hostage-takers and also contributed to the deaths of as many as 132 hostages. []
But nothing like that has happened before or since.
And, in 2019, you had the Center for the Study of Weapons of Mass Destruction at the National Defense University publishing a report acknowledging the chemical weapons potential of fentanyl, while also stating:
"It is not evident that there is any basis or need for, or net benefit to, officially designating fentanyl compounds as weapons of mass destruction." []
With a professor at Carnegie Mellon University who researches drugs, crime, and terror also arguing:
“I personally would prefer not to call every single thing that kills a large number of people a weapon of mass destruction.”
“...By those arguments, cigarettes would be weapons of mass destruction — cigarettes kill more Americans every year than fentanyl does.” []
And with that, we should be clear about exactly how many Americans fentanyl does kill.
In total, it’s hundreds of thousands.
And, according to the CDC, it was around forty-eight-thousand people in the US last year alone.
Which is obviously a lot but was also a 27 percent drop from the year before.[]
And, notably, it is also far less than the White House has often suggested.
Right, when Trump signed the order yesterday, he falsely claimed that "two to three hundred thousand people die every year” from fentanyl.
He has also repeatedly claimed that every boat strike, and there have been at least twenty-five so far, saves 25,000 American lives.
And, back in April, way before the boat strikes even began, Pam Bondi made the truly astonishing claim that drug busts during the first 100 days of the administration had saved 258 million American lives – or roughly three-quarters of the entire US population.
But to be very clear, all evidence suggests that this White House has little interest in fighting overdose deaths – and may even be making matters worse.
Right, as far as the boat strikes? Most experts say the strikes will have little to no impact on overdose deaths – largely because fentanyl doesn’t come out of Venezuela and the drugs that do are largely heading to Europe.
But you’ve also had an expert on street drugs at the Cato Institute saying he’s worried the strikes will encourage cartels to shift drug production away from cocaine and toward synthetic substances including fentanyl, which is deadlier and easier to move:
"All we're doing is making the cartels come up with more potent and powerful forms of drugs to smuggle." []
And, beyond that, there’s the fact that Trump has pardoned and freed high-level drug traffickers, gang leaders, and corrupt officials linked to the cartels;
reassigned law enforcement agents working on drug trafficking, including some from the Drug Enforcement Administration, to help out with immigration enforcement.
and cut staff and resources from key federal agencies specializing in drug policy, addiction treatment, and research.
And with all that, if the action targeting Venezuela aren’t about fighting drug trafficking, then the question is what are they about?
Well, as we’ve talked about before, the real aim seems to be getting rid of Maduro.
But to take it even further, as many have believed, there’s also more and more reason to think this is about oil.
Right, Venezuela has about 17 percent of the world’s known oil reserves – nearly four times the amount of the US. []
And even though Trump hasn’t mentioned oil in his public comments on the campaign, reportedly, he has often mentioned it privately.[]
And, in talks this year, U.S. officials reportedly negotiated with Maduro on a potential deal to push Chinese and Russian oil companies out of Venezuela to open up a bigger role for American companies.[]
And Maduro actually made an offer that Trump only rejected because advisors convinced him Maduro couldn’t be trusted and was just biding time.[]
Also, notably, Venezuela’s main opposition leader, who won the Nobel prize, and has voiced support for Trump’s violent, deadly, and likely illegal boat strikes, recently said in remarks at a business conference with Trump in attendance:
“I am talking about a $1.7 trillion opportunity.”
“We will open all, upstream, midstream, downstream, to all companies”[]
So, ultimately, this definitely isn’t the end, and we'll just have to wait and see what comes next.

And then we've got to talk about
these insane Siouxsie Wiles interviews and what's coming out today.
So Siouxsie Wiles is, of course, Donald Trump's White House chief of staff.
And we'll see over the course of Trump's first year
back in office, gave 11 interviews with Chris Whipple.
And while he published her comments in Vanity Fair,
and when I was reading some of it, I was like, these were
these were on the record conversations because a number of her statements,
they come off like, why would you say that?
Knowing that it was being recorded? Right.
So of Donald Trump, she says he has an alcoholics personality,
saying Trump has a view that there's nothing he can't do.
Nothing zero, nothing.
And saying because she had experience with her father,
who is an alcoholic and an absentee parent.
She knows how to handle them.
She's a little bit of an expert in big personalities.
She then goes on to say, Vice President JD Vance has been a conspiracy theorist
for a decade.
Instead of Vance coming over to Trump's side,
it was kind of a political decision, whereas Marco Rubio
kind of had to work his way through things of Elon Musk, she said.
He's an odd, odd duck, as I think geniuses are.
He also called him an avowed ketamine user,
but the times is reporting that she later told the times that she didn't
have any actual knowledge of that beyond his own statements
regarding Donald Trump and Bill Clinton being in the Epstein files.
You said, yes, they both are in them.
You also are really saying that there's no evidence that Mr.
Clinton went to the island and reportedly, when asked
if there was any incriminating information about Clinton in the Epstein files,
she said the president was wrong about that. Right.
And then regarding what Trump's been doing with Venezuela and blowing up boats,
she said he wants to keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries.
Uncle.
And people way smarter than me on that say that he will, without appearing
to make it clear that regime change, that's like that's the real goal there.
Also, regarding Pam Bondi, she said Pam essentially dropped the ball
regarding the Epstein files, saying,
I think she completely whiffed on appreciating that
that was the very targeted group that cared about this.
First, she gave him binders full of nothingness,
and then she said that the witness list or that client list was on her desk.
There is no client list, and it sure as hell wasn't on her desk.
Right. All of this, it's kind of just the highlights.
I recommend checking out the full article,
and I will say now that it's been released,
one of the people not a fan of this article is Susie Wiles herself, with Wiles
tweeting this morning the article, published early
this morning, is a disingenuously framed hit piece on me and the finest
president white House staff in cabinet in history.
Significant context was disregarded, and much of what I and others said
about the team and the president was left out of the story.
I assume after reading it that this was done to paint
an overwhelmingly chaotic and negative narrative about the president and our team
within much of the white House team, also posting tweets and support
as well as it now being reported,
President Trump defended white House Chief of Staff
Susie Wiles in an exclusive interview with The Post Tuesday,
saying she was right to tell Vanity Fair he is an alcoholics personality
and that he has full faith and wiles to continue in her role.
And so for now, really, only time will tell how things go from here, right?
Does this stir things up and we eventually see a fallout,
or do things calm and settle and whatever needs to happen
privately gets handled privately.
And then as far as the public version, it's all a united front.

AI is causing tons of things to get more expensive and Senate Democrats want answers.
I’m not even talking about the software side of things -- which to be clear is a waste of money as companies like Microsoft are finding out that no one wants AI all over their stuff.
But the hardware itself actually has had a huge ripple effect across so many things.
And if you’re in the market for any kind of electronics, I’d pull the trigger sooner than later.
That’s because we’re already seeing those prices go through the roof as companies shift all their sales to AI datacenters rather than household consumers.
The idea that tech companies are taking up so many resources from everyday people is so concerning that a handful of Senate Democrats announced today they’re launching an investigation.
In particular, a letter they sent to the usual suspects was worried that their AI datacenters were using so much electricity that it forced utility companies to upgrade their grids.
On the surface that doesn’t seem bad… except that money has to come from somewhere.
And it’s not like Microsoft is fronting that bill.
Instead utility companies just raise the rates of all their customers.
Now that’s not universally true, with some of these companies making deals with local utilities to try and get a bigger share for their increased usage.
But figuring out exactly what that breakdown should be has been hard to prove.
Interestingly, these data centers weren’t always bad for their local communities.
One study found that as utility companies upgraded their infrastructure it actually LOWERED costs for retail consumers overall because it was able to spread out the cost of upgrades that benefitted everyone.
But now that many of the cheaper, more cost effective upgrades are done and more is still needed, it’s expected that the opposite will hold true.
The need for built-up infrastructure for AI hasn’t gone unnoticed by people either.
I spoke with Kyla Scanlon for about an hour and she actually touched on this:
“When we think about AI, it is 40% of our GDP growth, 75% of S&P 500 earnings, so we have staked the entire economy on this thing. But the problem that we are running into is the problem with expanding AI and having it potentially taking all the jobs is not better models, it is energy. So AI is ultimately an energy race. And the U.S. decided that the sun was like, DEI or woke, or whatever, and has rolled back a lot of renewable energy projects that were very important to having AI be successful.” (12:49-13:24)
"I think that's what the US is running into right now is that these huge data centers are straining grids. They're causing electricity prices to go up and it's like sure the models can be great but I don't know if the grid can maintain it like that is the number one risk. And then number two is China... And companies like Airbnb are choosing to use China's AI models because they're cheaper. Um so it's always going to be a price war at the end of the game at the end of the day and it's always going to be an energy war. And right now, China's winning and both."
“You can have all of these pie in the sky plans, but you have to think about physical infrastructure, and the U.S. doesn’t, ever. Ever. And so that’s, I think, could pop the bubble, it could make it so it doesn’t take the jobs, those are the things I’m really paying attention to.” (14:40-14:56)
I can’t understate how much China has invested into its electrical grid compared to the US and what an advantage that is.
It’s actually been doing this for about a decade now to the point that it’s the biggest in the world and produces about twice the electricity the US does.
They have so much of it that their AI data centers are paying about half of what ours do per watt.
A lot of that growth is due to China investing heavily into green energies such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric especially.
Whereas in the US we’re going the opposite direction and cutting funding for a lot of these programs.
All that is just one way AI is screwing consumers in the US.
But its appetite for computer memory is causing issues all over the globe.
We’re at the point where key electronic components are seeing 100+% price increases in just a matter of months… and that will likely go up.
Without getting too specific, AI data centers need a lot of memory and RAM.
Don’t worry about what that is exactly, cause all you need to know is that RAM is used by just about everything that computes.
So computers, phones, consoles, smart TVs, appliances, cars… our entire modern world
AI companies need so much of it that it’s now a better deal for RAM manufacturers to just sell to them and ignore retail consumers like you or me.
Take Micron, one of the big three RAM manufacturers in the world.
They announced just a few weeks ago that they would be leaving the consumer market entirely.
And now Samsung is warning that there’s going to be such a massive shortage that Ram prices will spike 100% as it has “no stock” for normal consumers.
It’s also widely expected that Samsung is going to announce in January that some of the most popular and cost effective hard drives are going to be impossible to get.
Add the fact that most of these items are made overseas and face big tariffs under Trump and the easy conclusion is that if you want some kind of electronics it’s better to get it sooner than later.
All of this in order to fuel an industry that hasn’t made a product that actually generates money.
