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 wasn’t necessary to chime in on this. Someone close to POTUS needs to tell him to stop doing this.
Trump needs to stop doing this.
Agreed. These things take away from the dignity of the office and serve no useful purpose to say. Yes, I agree with Trump opinion, but the man’s death is a tragedy that doesn’t require celebration.
“It is very rarely wise to speak ill of the dead”
Yep, Reiner is not longer here to vocally support Allah.
Before setting your clock for 2028 and falling asleep,
Go to Rob Reiner’s

And support Rob’s cause so James Clapper can get to the bottom of all things Russia and Trump

When people see this headline repeated I think many react such as ‘oh geeze. Trump’s seeing this again and is starting to regret having said anything “
I doubt Trump thinks that.
Trump is a New Yorker, the term sympathy is between two other words, S#!* and syphilis according to most New Yorkers.
Stop it. Especially the hackneyed "we're better than that" cliche. Neither Trump nor I are "celebrating" anything
Does pointing out obvious cause-and-effect trigger you?
The stuff Meathead said about Trump and us was beyond the pale, itself, and that lasted many years.
Trump is trying to keep the fringe nutjobs engaged for the midterms with this political bomb throwing. They love wallowing in this stinky stuff.
“Didn’t meathead call for Trump’s assassination?”
No, you are misinformed. So take a minute, cool off, and reevaluate your rhetoric.
On a side note, there’s a movie script in here
A dysfunctional, self-loathing, addicted or sexually-confused Millennial, exacting his revenge on his rich, ultra-liberal, ideologue Boomer parental unit.
It would hit a nerve in 2025 America.
Here is what Reiner said in his last interview regarding Charie Kirk
That should never happen to anybody,” Reiner said. “I don’t care what your political beliefs are, that’s not acceptable. That’s not a solution to solving problems. And I felt like what his wife said at the service, at the memorial they had, was exactly right.”
Reiner was a leftist dick, but he apparently had more class and grace than either of you.
Trump did say it and I think it’s hysterical.
You are what decent people call "white trash."
Would he? No fan of Reiner here, but his statement issued on Kirk’s death was pure class. Unlike this from DJT
Once again, you are projecting. Neither Trump nor I are “celebrating” this.
Its a PUBLIC debate.
Stop acting like a triggered queen.
Politics 101: Never speak ill of the dead.
He just ceded moral ground to his enemies.
How quickly you resort to insults, when no one has insulted you.
so "classy."
Clearly Trump was fan of Reiner, but to claim that Trump “celebrated” Reiner’s murder is hogwash: in other words - a huge lie/standard fare for the left.
(Politics 101: Never speak ill of the dead.)
Common manners. Susie needs to shut Trump’s mouth.
The Donald/47 is taking no prisoners this time around. I know that I am getting some laughs from this. Meathead posted endlessly about how much he hated Trump/
I am sorry he and his wife were killed but.....
Usually the death of an ex president makes the news. Has Biden’s family released any verification?
