Maria Shriver denounces Trump, calls on those around him to "knock some sense into him"

Her Instagram post

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DSTbV_lEuG6/

was posted by Yashar Ali on both Bluesky and X.

Bluesky posts here - two posts because what she'd said was too long for Bluesky video limits, so the 3:26 video was split into 2:58 and :29 - and Yashar Ali's tweet on X will be in a reply below.

1. Maria Shriver obviously comes from a very political family and has supported candidates for office, like her now-former husband Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barack Obama, but for the most part she has always chosen to focus on storytelling and journalism.

2. She has clearly hit her limit and has just posted this video about President Trump’s post and comment about Rob Reiner.

Nobody can "knock some sense" into this psychopath. Anyone who cares about our country and is in a position to do so, should understand it is their duty knock this blight on America's soul out of office.

I am disgusted by TFG's responses to all of the tragic stories from this weekend.

The massacre at the beach not only full demonstrated the ugly antisemitism found in the world but illustrated the actions against it by the one man who did everything possible to disarm one shooter. This brave man represents all of us who need to stand up. Trump did little to even acknowledge the actions of that brave Muslin man.

The shooting at another school, albeit at a university, demonstrated not only the ease of obtaining a gun, but the spread of misinformation which too readily continued the danger. His remarks were simply a forum full of speculation. (The lies from his appointed head of the FBI did not help.)

And finally, his response to the deaths of the Rob and Michele Reiner was so without merit that they need not be fully repeated here. The Orange Menace was full of vitriol towards the victims, misinformation about the event, and more about HIS hurt feels about what Rob Reiner said about him. It would have been far better if his comment was simply the first and last sentences were said and nothing more. But that would have not been his style.

This is the dear leader of our country, fellow Americans. May God save us from such leadership! Divine intervention may be the only way left.
