Donald Trump has doubled down on his attacks on Rob Reiner after the Hollywood star and his wife were apparently murdered.
The President appeared to blame Reiner and Michele's killings on the liberal director's 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' in a Monday post on Truth Social.
Hollywood celebrities and Republicans pushed back on his statement, with some calling it 'disgusting and vile.'
But the President seemed undeterred in his criticism of the late director.
When pressed by a reporter in the Oval Office about his previous statement, he said: 'Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person. As far as Trump was concerned.
'I think he hurt himself, career-wise, he became like a deranged person, [with] 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.'
Trump also accused Reiner of pushing the 'Russia hoax', the allegation that the President was compromised by the Kremlin during his first term.
He wrote that Reiner, a 'once very talented movie director and comedy star,' passed away, 'reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease' known as TDS - or Trump Derangement Syndrome. The term is used by conservatives to describe disdain for the Republican President.
Trump's post continued: '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.'
The vicious statement about the couple's death highlighted Trump's tendency to attack public figures following their passing. The Republican has also ridiculed the late Senator John McCain and General Colin Powell after they died.

It’s time to respectfully ask Melania for a big favor of urgently needed intervention. Failing that, maybe Trump would listen to Elon. This is the wrong trajectory to build upon.
Panicans on the lose here today! No one liked Reiner, not even his family. They tolerated him because he said the stuff they were too smart to say. So Reiner lived the way he wanted, the life of a real asshole. He was happy with that is probably happy wherever he is now. And Trump’s post will not change anyone’s mind.
Don’t kick a man when he’s down.
A good rule of thumb, even if you’re from Queens.
Absolutely nothing.
.
I cringe when I see people thinking they know Reiner because they watched a movie.
Just like Rosie O, I’m sure he had nothing to do with fu/king up that kid. I’m sure he didn’t pursue his passion to the detriment of his family, and I’m sure Rev. Wright wouldn’t say, California’s Chickens coming home to roost.
Meathead could at least have donated his remains to the Farm Bureau? Fertilizer!
He makes is SO hard for our side, it is demoralizing.
I have been getting Meathead memes from my friends all day. Call me a puss or whatever dancing on someone’s grave is not a good look. Flame away.
Spoken like a conventional Rep who is afraid to get down into the mud and the blood and the beer. Trump is a street fighter who has resurrected and expanded the Republican Party, which was dying until he ran for the WH. We are in an existential fight for our country.
Did he support abortion?
Then it’s a sub human. No quarter.
We’re here talking about left vs right. This isn’t that. The left is never just “a point of view”.
Not every leftist talking point is abortion, but abortion is a leftist talking point. The moment any “person” would sit and calmly discuss the murder of a baby they cease to be human.

I think if you own a fast food restaurant and you don’t put out Trash cans, don’t be surprised when Trash is laying in your parking lot.
See some of the posts up-thread. There are FReepers that believe fence sitters are not needed for Republicans to prevail in 2026.
Two wrongs don’t make a right. At this rate, Trump is making it harder for Republicans to win the mid terms. It’s not the Democrats that I’m worried about, it’s the Republicans and Independents that will not be influenced by Trump any longer and will decide to sit home. His ego will destroy everything that we voted for .
Go Trump Go. Screw holly weird and their clowns/pedos.
If the vile spewed by Reiner towards Trump for a decade had been pointed at me instead I don’t think I would have been so nice.. just saying
I normally don’t care what Trump says and I was no Rob Reiner fan but the President of the United States could have just said nothing. I think that might have been better.
Ok but Trump was not “celebrating”. That is just the Trump haters The Mail framing it.
There were two evil brothers. They were rich, and used their money to keep their ways from the public eye. They even attended the same church, and looked to be perfect Christians. Their preacher could see right through them.
One of the brothers died. The remaining brother sought out the new preacher before the funeral and handed him a cheque for the amount needed to finish paying for the new building program the church had undertaken. "I have only one condition," he said. "At his funeral, you must say my brother was a saint."
The preacher gave his word, and took the money. The next day, at the funeral, the preacher said, "This was an evil man. “He lied and cheated and did every bad thing imaginable. But compared to his brother, he was a saint."
Stop doing what? Speaking the truth? Not mincing his words like the gutless RINOS the GOPe stuck us with as Presidential candidates? I voted for the man three times because he doesn't hold back, because he says what's on his mind, because he fights for us, and because he has our backs. If you want a pussy in the White House, then vote for a RINO for President next time.
