U.S. President Donald Trump has doubled down on his attacks on Rob Reiner after the Hollywood star and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were murd£red by their son, Nick.
The couple had their throats slit after a heated argument with their son which turned de@dly at their $13.5million LA mansion on Sunday afternoon.Their son, Nick has since been booked for murd£r
Trump appeared to blame Reiner and Michele’s k!llings, claiming that his long-standing and highly public criticism of him was the true reason behind the couple’s de@ths.
He also described the tragedy as a “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Trump 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.’
Hollywood celebrities and Republicans pushed back on his statement, with some calling it ‘disgusting and vile.’
But the President seemed unfazed in his criticism of the late director.
When asked 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.
