I debated linking to this but, well, here we are; Donald Trump, on his blog[1]:
A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS. He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!
Absolutely pathetic.
In writing this self-aggrandizing screed, Trump effectively blames Reiner for his own death—implying Reiner was killed because of his opposition to Trump, with the inference being that the perpetrator is themself pro-Trump. It’s not much of a logical leap to read this as a warning to those opposing Trump—dissent is dangerous.
Hat-tip to John Gruber for the term. Main link is to an archive of Trump’s “Truth” Social posts so you don’t have to give your attention to that dumpsite. Original here, if you must. ↩︎
