‘Badly broken’ Trump triggers swift outrage with double-down on Rob Reiner attack



President Donald Trump sent the internet into a frenzy on Monday afternoon after he doubled down on his comments about slain director Rob Reiner from earlier in the day.

Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday morning that Reiner suffered from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and said the director died "due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction." The comments sparked bipartisan outrage.

Reiner and his wife, Michelle, were found dead in their Hollywood home on Saturday night. Authorities have identified the Reiners' 32-year-old son, Nick, as the primary suspect in the case after he and Rob had an argument at a holiday party hosted by talk show host Conan O'Brien, according to CNN.

Trump doubled down on those comments when CNN's Kristen Holmes asked Trump about the criticism he received from Republicans during a press conference on Monday afternoon.

"I wasn't a fan of his at all," Trump said. "He was a deranged person."

Political analysts and observers condemned Trump's comments on social media.

"FFS," conservative columnist Charlie Sykes posted on X.

"I know his staff is beyond shame, but each and every one of them should feel utterly embarrassed to work for a human this badly broken," political speechwriter Zev Karlin Neumann posted on X.

"Just disgusting," writer Olivia Juliana posted on X.

"What are the deletists going to say now?" entertainment entrepreneur Ian Schaefer posted on X.

"Hey, Erika Kirk! Are you going to tell F---face over here to tone down the hateful rhetoric?" writer Polly Singh asked on X.

"This is why we all can’t wait for the day," Democratic digital strategist Ally Sammarco posted on X.
