Variety: Rob Reiner Gets the 'Last Laugh' Against Trump With Secret Final Role
Twitchy ^ | 07/04/2026 | Brett T.

All right, Variety, this is weird. Rob Reiner and his wife were stabbed to death by their schizophrenic son. Yes, he was afflicted with Stage 4 TDS, but that's no way to die.

We'd let the man rest in peace. Still, Variety is reporting that Reiner is having the last laugh at President Donald Trump with a posthumous role as George Washington in Larry David's “Life, Larry, and the Pursuit of Unhappiness: An Almost History of America."

It’s funny how these folks never look at their personal lives, their family lives, and ask themselves: Am I really wise enough to run the world? One of the most interesting moments of the debates in 2016 was when the question posed to Trump and Hillary was, “Can you each say one positive thing about the other?” And Hillary said something like, “His children love him. He must be a good father.”

Rob Reiner is Dead. Killed by his own son.
Trump is still alive, not killed by one of his own family member’s.

TDS is a mind altering disease.

I don’t see how anyone who was murdered by his own family member is getting the last laugh on anyone.

Last laugh? Reiner is dead. Trump is alive. Facts are stubborn things.

No, Trump gets the last laugh. Trunp’s children despite everything around them, seem to be happy and successful. Rob Reiner’s crazy kid killed both Rob Reiner and his wife.

Actually I’m having the last laugh, as I chortle at the pettiness of Riner. Even in death, Trump lives rent free in his casket.

Hey Meathead!
Lol

“Well, what if there’s some asshole in office, some narcissistic prick who doesn’t follow the Constitution?” asks Larry David, dressed in 1700s colonial attire.

Like FDR?

Reiner and his wife had their throats slit by their son they were babying. Last laugh? This author of this article is mentally ill.

The idiot simpletons at Variety obviously don’t even know what the meaning of “getting the last laugh” is.

POTUS Trump is still commander in chief of the world, and Reiner was brutally murdered alongside his wife by his drug addicted son.

Yeah, Reiner really pulled one over on Trump.

TDS delusion rolls on.

So, yes. Literally.

Trump and Melania got to enjoy laughter and happiness on the 4th for and with children and step children while all being blessed with the same opportunities afforded those who pursue “Unhappiness” and who negate that opportunity due to the effects of severe TDS.

I’m thinking that’s as final a final scene laugh as it gets.

The Party of Death, Socialist DemoRATS spent yesterday spewing their hatred of America and Americans. Little Robbie Reiner is dead. What he thinks is irrelevant.

Just imagine if Barrack Obama would have been publicly smeared, and taunted every day for eight years. Actually, it wouldn’t have happened beyond the first year………cities all over the country would have burned to the ground.

Thats the difference between class and low class.

This is sad and wrong in so many ways. Reiner didn’t plan this as a post-death performance. And given that it is political, David and the other producers should have cut it out. I’ve said it in other posts - I am sad about how Reiner is being remembered. Yes, he was rabidly anti-Trump. Unfortunately, that overwhelmed a lot of good aspects of his life. I used to enjoy watching his movies and watching him act. He also was good in interviews. He never took himself that seriously and had a sense of humor about himself. That’s the way I wish I could remember him. David keeping this performance in his show is petty and wrong. It makes it hard for those who disagree with Reiner on Trump to remember the good things about him.
