US president Donald Trump has doubled down on his controversial remarks about the late Rob Reiner.
Donald Trump has insisted the late Rob Reiner was "very bad" for America.
The Princess Bride director and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead at their home on Sunday (14.12.25), with police later arresting their son Nick for their murders, but the US president sparked outrage when he claimed the shock deaths were a result of "Trump derangement syndrome", and he's now doubled down on his comments.
Speaking from the Oval Office, CNN reports Trump said: “I wasn’t a fan of his at all.
“He became like a deranged person – ‘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.
His comments came hours after his initial controversial post on his Truth Social platform.
The billionaire businessman wrote on the Truth Social platform: "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 (sic)"
