In a shocking turn of events, former U.S. President Donald Trump has stirred up controversy by holding filmmaker Rob Reiner responsible for his own demise.
“A tragic incident occurred last night in Hollywood,” Trump shared on his social media platform, Truth Social. “Rob Reiner, once a talented director and comedic actor, who was struggling and in crisis, passed away along with his wife, Michele.”
Trump accused Reiner of inciting anger in others through what he described as an "immense, stubborn, and incurable affliction" stemming from a mentally crippling illness he referred to as the "Trump Derangement Syndrome."
According to Trump, “He was notorious for driving people INSANE with his intense obsession over President Donald J. Trump, with paranoia that escalated as the Trump Administration exceeded all expectations of success.”
Reiner, a revered figure in the entertainment industry, known for his roles as an actor, director, screenwriter, and producer, was discovered dead alongside his wife, photographer and producer Michele Reiner, at their Los Angeles residence on Sunday.
Initial reports suggest the couple was killed by one of their children.
Reiner had been a vocal critic of Trump, accusing him of bringing back the dark era of McCarthyism to the United States.
“That seems almost naive compared to what is happening in America right now,” Reiner remarked in a recent interview with EFE.
