Trump's Truth Social Attack on Slain Director Rob Reiner

After the stabbing death of director Rob Reiner and his wife, President Trump posted on Truth Social suggesting Reiner died because of 'Trump Derangement Syndrome,' calling him a 'tortured and struggling' figure whose obsession with Trump supposedly contributed to the tragedy. The post, which blamed Reiner's fierce criticism of Trump rather than the accused killer and doubled down in subsequent Oval Office remarks, drew widespread condemnation, including from some Republicans, as dehumanizing and inflammatory rhetoric in the wake of a homicide.
