Trump Blames Tragic Death of Rob Reiner and Wife on 'TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME' [View all]

Source: Mediaite.com

President Donald Trump seized on a shocking and still-developing report about the deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, using the moment to settle political scores rather than acknowledge the gravity of the allegations.

According to reports circulating late Sunday, Reiner and his wife were allegedly killed by their son. Authorities have not publicly substantiated the claims, and key details remain unclear. Nonetheless, the story spread rapidly online, prompting reactions across the political spectrum before basic facts were established.

Trump responded on social media Monday morning by asserting that Reiner’s long-running and very public opposition to him was the real cause of the couple’s deaths. The former president framed the alleged tragedy as a byproduct of what he derisively labeled “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” portraying Reiner as consumed by political animus and suggesting that this fixation led to fatal consequences. Trump posted on Truth Social:

"A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. 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 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. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!"
