Actor and Director Rob Reiner and his wife were stabbed to death on Sunday, with their son in custody. President Donald Trump joined many in sharing reactions to the news, but his statement is drawing wide condemnation from many in the news media.
In a post on his Truth Social account, President Trump called the situation “a very sad thing.”
However, his statement then went on to blast Reiner, who was a public critic of Trump and the MAGA movement in his later years.
“Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDORME, sometimes referred to as TDS,” Trump wrote. “He was known to have drive people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, which his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all the goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May rob and Michele rest in peace.”
Many members of the news media — especially those from the conservative side of the aisle — took to social media to share their displeasure with Trump’s comments.

Gotta love how Sage Steele actually manages to praise Trump while she condemns him. Now THAT’S derangement.
