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.

Trump needs to stop doing this.
“I thought he was very bad for our country.”
Yes, yes he was.
Talent? You Betcha.
Total Arsehole? Fo’ Sho’.
Yes. I love Trump, but I cringed when I saw that post.
Boy howdy.
Trump needs to actually cut the taxes on my SS so I can boost up the accounts of my Grands to help them weather the future.
Trump of all people, has learned there are no common standards with deranged leftists
Reiner and his ilk would be dancing in the streets if Trump suffered something similar.
It’s a bad look. I wish he wouldn’t do this.
Well, UK-istan Daily Mail and MI asset, in the spirit of the thing I will just say "I do not think that word means what you think it means."
He wasn’t called MEATHEAD for nothing.
Is everything Trump is saying true? Yes, it is, but sometimes the situation is so ugly that saying the truth reflects really badly on the person saying it, like trashing the dead at their funeral. Meathead sucked as a human being, but he and wife were just murdered by their kid, so maybe just sit this one out, DJT. Please.
I like how the same people who gloried over Charlie Kirk getting murdered are “outraged shocked and offended” by the honestly mild statement by Trump.
I didn’t like the man either. I’m not going to do what they did to Charlie Kirk. Rob died an atheist. That’s the sad part.
Meathead had it in for Trump at every opportunity.
Not a level-headed LibTard.
What a horror show. Hope this isn’t a turning point for his Presidency.
...........the people who celebrated Charlie Kirk’s death are now mad that Trump is celebrating Rob Reiner’s death?
Sigh.
Every day, he seems dead set on telling potential soft supporters to f*** off.
This crap appeals to precisely NO ONE except dyed in the wool, true believers who would never disagree with him on *anything*.
That’s about 15-20% of the public and maybe 25% of the voting public. That’s NOT a winning coalition.
I’m getting closer and closer to just setting my alarm clock for 2028 because the next couple years are going to be a nightmare I think I’d rather just sleep through.
“Reiner and his ilk would be dancing in the streets if Trump suffered something similar.”
I was thinking the same thing.
I was also thinking that Reiner is to blame for raising such a shitty child.
