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.

If all these supposed “soft independents” think ANYTHING Trump says is alienating then what must they think of the vile calumnies that spew from the lying foul holes in faces of the demonrats? I mean. COME ON!
If only. It honestly makes him look deranged.
Yes he does. It is petty and foolish. Damn, Donald, watch “The Princess Bride”.
When you wrestle with a pig in the mud, it is often difficult to determine which one is the pig.
It would be a testament to humanity if your post reflected the majority of the reaction here.
Even in death, Michael Stivic is still the Meathead. Rob Reiner will never be anyone else.
My question is does Trump have info
that we don’t know about Rob Reiner?
Trump is a meglomaniac.
My question is does Trump have info
that we don’t know about Rob Reiner?
Agreed. And the same ones wished Trump died when he was shot.
I know jerks like that. Said it to my face.
Some weak FRinos only like to “take it”.
I never mentioned the word "celebrating" here... not sure ehy that's quoted. Reading is hard.
I wrote that a Hollywood leftist had more grace and class than you, which you've proven.
I didn't see any "celebrating" in the President's comments, only lack of sadness and discomforting frankness.
At certain times silence is golden. This should have been one of those times.
LOL.
We had a Dead Day before finals in college. A bunch of us dressed like that and walked around campus.
Many, if not all, were whining about the shooter missing in Butler.
Even my deranged mother.
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.

I have disagreed with President Trump on several occasions and on several posts on X, However - my support of him does not waiver. He loves this country and is keeping his promises unlike every other President we have had (even Reagan). He does this while a supposedly Republican Congress fights him at every turn and demon rats stand in his way and call him all sorts of foul names.
To whine about some stupid tweet he makes is ridiculous. Who cares if “soft” supporters don’t like it? I certainly don’t.
You (in the general, not specific sense) either support the President or not…he’s not our Father, brother, boyfriend or friend….it matter not that he did a little obnoxious post about the VILE and FOUL Reiner.
Dying does not make an asshole any less an asshole.
Everyone should get a damn grip.
Somebody had to say those things and Trump took it upon himself to do so. HAD to say it? I’ll say that too many leftist extreme statements get passed on or swept under the rug by the MSM while we show our class and dignity. What does it buy us? Nothing.
Well this thread went south quick.
I’m not happy Meathead is dead but I will say I’m not at all surprised at the way he died.
Honestly, I see Rosie O’Donnell going out the same way because she has nutty kids too.
People can’t handle the truth. Trump was being responsive to a media question. He is being honest, not politically correct. Reiner was a strident anti-Trumper and engaged in perpetuating ant-Trump conspiracies and hoaxes. Reiner used his considerable wealth and influence to attack Trump for almost a decade.
I guess Trump could have said no comment, but that is not who he is.
Exactly this x1000.
