In a 2017 interview with Variety, Reiner described Trump as "mentally unfit" to serve
as commander in chief and called him the "single most unqualified human being to
ever assume the presidency of the United States."
In another interview, Reiner said: "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."
Reiner has been a continuous "one-stop shop" for anti-Trump insults:
"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."
"It's really gotten to a very, very scary place in this country..."
All in the Family had labeled him correctly. Meathead.
