'When it happens': Trump post ignites chatter about president's own mortality

President Donald Trump social media post seemingly celebrating the slayings of Rob Reiner and his wife sparked online speculation about how his own eventual mortality will be met Monday.

The president suggested the Hollywood legend and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were killed in their own home due to the director's outspoken criticism of his administration, which prompted outrage even from Republican lawmakers and MAGA fans. Some reflected on how the public will react one day to the 79-year-old Trump's passing.

"Do you think, in his heart of hearts, he knows that while his death will certainly be covered by TV news & breaking alerts, people will learn about it when they see neighbors spontaneously celebrating, hooting and hollering in the streets, spreading good cheer and pouring each other popped champagne?" wondered Kelsey Atherton, editor of the Center for International Policy Journal.

Social media users addressed the topic obliquely, but everyone seemed to recognize the topic.

"What if it happens on the day the Phillies release Nick Castellanos?" wondered popular Bluesky user Cooper Lund.

"I have a note on my phone of jokes i’m saving for the day," confided writer Catherine Tinker.

"Imma grab a cigar two fingers of God's best bourbon grab my fully charged phone... AND TAKE IT TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!" warned widely followed Bluesky user Solomon.

"I think we should all commit ourselves to, at minimum, a national 3-day party When It Happens," pledged podcaster Lauren. "One bottle of champagne in the back of your closet is no longer adequate. be prepared."

"Special announcement in the middle of the Oscars, followed by some of the greatest crowd reaction shots ever seen," imagined Bluesky user Dailey.

"Gonna party so hard when it happens i might have to be sober for a few years," agreed media researcher Bobby Lewis.

"Zero grace when It Happens. Zero decorum given," said lawyer Chris Jackson. "I’m high-fiving strangers on the street."

"I do not think the right is remotely prepared for the scale of celebration that we’ll see When It Happens," posted popular Bluesky user Micah. "I know a bunch of them are going to try to run the Kirk playbook and good luck getting more than half the country fired overnight."

"There’ll be fireworks in countries they’ve never heard of," added Bluesky user Maven.

"When it happens, itll be 100x funnier than the day he got covid which was an all timer," anticipated Bluesky user Erl. "It might have been its peak honestly. Ive never laughed so hard staring at my phone."

"The most anticipated obituary awaits the world, And you don't even need a name," posted widely followed Bluesky user Baron. "How insane is that."

"I have a cigar and fireworks waiting for when it happens," replied The Schadenfreude Kid.

"I'm calling out sick When It Happens, I've already drafted the message, let's go," promised writer Magen Cubed.

"It's a thing to live for," added Bluesky user Rob Hanna. "I mean that."
