"In an astonishing post on Truth Social this morning, Donald Trump suggested that Hollywood director Rob Reiner, 78, who was found dead at his home alongside his wife Michele, 68, in what is being investigated as an apparent homicide, was killed because he angered people with his Trump Derangement Syndrome. Reiner had spoken out about Trump many times over the years."
"He said in a 2017 interview with Variety that he thought Trump was mentally unfit to be president and called him the single most unqualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States. He also told the Guardian last year that Trump's re-election could lead to America turning into an autocracy. We see autocracy making its move around the world, he said. And so if we [the US] crumble, there's a danger that democracy crumbles around the world."
"Others have also contrasted Trump's words with Republican calls for compassion after the killing of Charlie Kirk. This clip has been making the rounds, in which Reiner poignantly explained that he had felt absolute horror at Kirk's assassination in September. That should've never happened to anybody, Reiner told Piers Morgan. I don't care what your political beliefs are that's not acceptable, that's not a solution. He added that he found Kirk's widow's forgiveness of her husband's killer beautiful and admirable."
