Trump's Rob Reiner Attack Backfires

[GoLeft TV]

After filmmaker and longtime Trump critic Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle were found murdered in their Los Angeles home, President Trump quickly turned the tragedy into a political attack, posting on Truth Social to insult Reiner as “tortured” and obsessed with Trump, while implying his criticism somehow contributed to his death. The post ignored key facts confirmed by police, including that the case is a homicide investigation and that Reiner’s son has been charged with murder. Instead, Trump used the moment to praise himself and disparage a deceased critic who had spent years publicly defending democracy, the Constitution, and the rule of law, and warning about authoritarianism in American politics. Many found the response deeply disturbing, saying it crossed a basic line of decency by using a family’s violent loss to settle political scores, a reaction that drew condemnation even from some of Trump’s own supporters.
