This time he went too far.
That is what the Republican critics in Congress of President Donald Trump say about him after he posted that director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele were killed due to “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
“It is not Presidential,” said Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.), a retiring swing-district moderate who has been one of Trump’s most obstinate Republican faultfinders in Congress, in a statement to Axios. “The couple were stabbed to death. Most Americans want more and better from our President.”
In a post on Truth Social, Trump posted that the Reiners died “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding and incurable affliction … known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
Trump said that Reiner, who was a vocal critic of the President since his first presidential term, was a “tortured and struggling, but once very talented” director who “was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump.”
Axios reported that police have arrested the Reiners’ son, Nick, in connection with the slayings. Still, Trump’s comments about Reiner have angered many, including Republicans.
“This statement is wrong. Regardless of one’s political views, no one should be subjected to violence, let alone at the hands of their own son,” Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), another swing district centrist, said in a post on X: “It’s a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in our country, period.”
“We should be lifting the family up in prayer, not making this about politics,” Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.) wrote on X.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a former staunch Trump supporter posted on X, “This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment on this story.
