United States President and WWE Hall of Famer Donald Trump has issued a statement regarding the death of film director Rob Reiner. In a post on Truth Social, Trump commented on Reiner’s passing, attributing it to “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” Trump wrote. “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!”
Musician Jack White responded to the President’s comments with a strong rebuke. White criticized Trump for using the death of Reiner to promote his own agenda.
“Trump you disgusting, vile, egomaniac, loser, child,” White wrote. “To use someone’s tragic death to promote your own vanity and fascist authoritarian agenda is a corrupt and narcissistic sin. Shame on you Trump and anyone who defends this.”
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley, who has been critical of Trump in the past, shared White’s post and added his own thoughts. Foley expressed disbelief that his peers in the wrestling industry could continue to support Trump following such remarks.
“What @officialjackwhite said here is spot on,” Foley wrote. “How any of my @wwe colleagues can stand by, let alone stand next to this man is beyond me.”
As previously reported, Trump reportedly declined WWE’s invitation to attend John Cena’s final wrestling match over the weekend.
