Trump Blames 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' for the Murder of Rob Reiner and His Wife... Controversy Over Insulting the Deceased

⬦ The son is the culprit... Trump says the cause is 'Trump Derangement Syndrome'

President Donald Trump is facing fierce backlash for posting a mocking message regarding the tragic death of Hollywood giant Rob Reiner and his wife, suggesting it was 'self-inflicted.' Criticism has poured in from within the Republican Party, stating that he has 'crossed the line' by using the tragedy of being murdered by his own son as a political attack.

The Reiner couple was found dead at their home in an upscale neighborhood of Los Angeles on the afternoon of the 14th (local time), and police have arrested their son Nick (32) as a suspect in the murder.

Director Reiner is a Hollywood giant known for hit works such as 〈The Princess Bride〉, 〈When Harry Met Sally〉, 〈Misery〉, 〈A Few Good Men〉, and 〈Rumors About Her That She Doesn't Know〉.

On the 15th (local time), President Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social, claiming that their deaths were due to Rob Reiner provoking anger in others, stating that the cause was "'Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS),' a disease known for paralyzing reason, leading to his massive, stubborn, and incurable obsession."

⬦ "Don't mock Charlie Kirk's death"... The right's 'double standard' dilemma

Since right-wing activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated in September of this year, Trump supporters have strongly condemned the left for immorally mocking Charlie Kirk's death, but it has been pointed out that they are now in a difficult position due to Trump's recent remarks.

CNN reported, "The position has suddenly reversed," pointing out that the person making mocking remarks about the tragic death was none other than President Trump himself.

Just hours before Trump posted the message, on the night of the 14th, right-wing commentator Jack Posobiec stated, "There will be no right-wingers celebrating the horrific murder of Rob Reiner and his wife," and urged to compare it with the left's reaction to the assassination of Charlie Kirk, claiming the moral superiority of the right, only to find himself in an awkward position.

⬦ "Rude and inappropriate"... Republican lawmakers also turned their backs

Some Republican politicians joined in the criticism.

Representative Thomas Massie (Republican-Kentucky) pointed out, "Regardless of personal feelings towards Rob Reiner, such remarks about someone who was brutally murdered are inappropriate and rude," and asked, "Will Republican colleagues, the Vice President, and White House staff remain silent out of fear of upsetting Trump?" stating that no one could defend such remarks.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (Republican-Georgia), whose relationship with Trump has significantly deteriorated, commented on the death of the Reiner couple, saying, "It is a family tragedy, unrelated to politics or political enemies," and added, "Many families have to cope with family members struggling with drug addiction and mental health issues. It is a really difficult situation that requires empathy, especially when murder occurs."

Representative Don Bacon (Republican-Nebraska) asked CNN anchor Jake Tapper, "Such words are something you would hear from a barroom drunk, not something an American president should say. Can (Trump) become presidential?"

However, the likelihood of this criticism forming a mainstream within the Republican Party is low, and there are also predictions that blind loyalty to President Trump will continue for the time being.

CNN noted that Trump had made mocking remarks about incidents such as the assault on former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi, even before the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and has repeatedly made comments that seem to endorse violence against his political opponents.

The broadcast analyzed, "The president reposting such remarks summarizes the choices of the Republican Party at least for now."
