Trump draws internet’s wrath after bizarre social media about Rob Reiner
Donald Trump suggests Rob Reiner died ‘due to the anger he caused others’
US President Donald Trump’s post about Rob Reiner’s death on his Truth Social account has incurred furious reactions from various corners of the internet due to its insensitively bizarre nature.
Trump began by describing Rob and Michele Reiner’s deaths as “a very sad thing” which “happened in Hollywood last night” — December 14, the day the couple were found dead.
“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 SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS,” he added.
Further claiming that the late filmmaker used to drive “people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump,” the political figure listed his own achievements which allegedly made Reiner’s “obvious paranoia” skyrocket.
“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, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before,” wrote the head of state, before concluding the text with, “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”
The post naturally drew people, many of them celebrities and politicians, to call out the president on his callousness.
Actor Patrick Schwarzenegger condemned Trump’s statement as “disgusting and vile”.
While Whoopi Goldberg, co-host on The View, said, “I don’t understand the man in that White House, because he talked so much about Charlie Kirk and caring, and suddenly this is what he puts out. Have you no shame? No shame at all? Can you get any lower? I don’t think so.”
Marjorie Taylor Greene, Georgia’s Republican representative who recently left the Trump administration, wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that the Reiners’ murder “is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies.”
Other online users also voiced their discomfort at the prescient’s remarks.
Donald Trump further doubled down on his comments about Rob Reiner’s murder, claiming at an event on Monday night that he “wasn’t a fan of his at all” and labelled the deceased artist “a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.”
