Piers Morgan orders Donald Trump to remove 'dreadful' post about Rob Reiner's death



In an extraordinary and widely condemned post on Truth Social, former President Donald Trump linked the tragic deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer to what he called “Trump Derangement Syndrome” (TDS).

Just hours after news broke that the 78-year-old director and his 68-year-old wife were found dead in their Los Angeles home, Trump described Reiner’s death as “very sad” but quickly turned the statement into a controversial tirade. In his post, Trump claimed the couple’s deaths were “reportedly due to the anger he caused others” through Reiner’s supposed obsession with the former president.

Trump’s full statement read in part:

"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..."

The post immediately sparked outrage. Television personality Piers Morgan publicly called on Trump to remove the statement, describing it as “dreadful” and inappropriate given the circumstances. Morgan added: “This is a dreadful thing to say about a man who just got murdered by his troubled son. Delete it, Mr. President.”

Many social media users, including some Trump supporters, criticized the former president’s comments as deeply insensitive. One wrote, “I am a big-time Trump supporter, and I agree with you, Piers. It’s not the time or place for that.” Another added, “I couldn’t imagine being the type of human to even think like this when someone passes. Heartbreaking to say the least.”

Reiner and his wife were reportedly stabbed to death in their California mansion. Their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested and is being held on $4 million bail at the LAPD Metropolitan Detention Centre.

Rob Reiner, renowned for directing classic films such as Stand By Me and This Is Spinal Tap, leaves behind a lasting legacy in Hollywood.

Why Did Donald Trump Give Melania a Cheeky Four-Word Instruction During the FIFA World Cup Draw? A Lip Reader Breaks It Down During the FIFA World Cup 2026 draw in Washington, Donald Trump once again slipped into full “showman mode.” While the Village People performed YMCA, cameras captured the former president swaying along and a lip reader claims he gave Melania a playful four-word instruction in the middle of the routine. According to expert Jeremy Freeman, Trump appeared to be enjoying the throwback performance a bit too much. He was spotted chatting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, reportedly saying he “missed” seeing the Village People perform live. Freeman adds that as Trump continued dancing, he leaned toward FIFA President Gianni Infantino and said the music “makes me happy.” Then, glancing over at Melania, he allegedly told her: “Look at it, great job.” But the moment that sparked online chatter came later, when Trump encou...

Fox News halts for breaking news in humiliating blow to Trump

A tense moment on Fox News has unexpectedly thrust Donald Trump back into the spotlight and not in a way his supporters would have hoped. Viewers watching the normally Trump-friendly network were caught off guard when Fox News contributor Jessica Tarlov delivered a blunt, data-driven critique of Trump’s economic record during a live segment. Her remarks sharply contradicted the former president’s repeated claims of a booming economy and immediately set off a political firestorm. Tarlov laid out a sobering picture of the US labor market, pointing to what she described as a clear downturn since what many Americans view as a turning point in Trump’s second term. According to her analysis, job growth has slowed dramatically, with the economy adding roughly 70,000 jobs per month. She highlighted that more than 700,000 additional Americans are unemployed compared with the same period last year, while youth unemployment has climbed above 10 percent. Tarlov also noted that without hiring in...

Moment Donald Trump ‘freezes’ live on Fox News as fans say ‘we need a doctor’

During a recent press conference, President Donald Trump appeared to lose his train of thought while criticizing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. The moment aired live on Fox News and quickly went viral after Trump stumbled over his words and repeatedly referred to Powell as the “Fed hair” instead of “Fed chair,” even calling him a “dead head” before labeling him “a stiff.” Trump was commenting on the latest interest rate cut the third of 2025 when he briefly froze mid-sentence, drawing widespread concern online. Viewers on social media questioned his clarity and health, with one user posting, “If only we had a real physician to give us a real health report!” Another pointed out the irony of Trump insulting Powell, a Republican he personally appointed. Others highlighted Trump’s long-standing claims about his own cognitive abilities, with one commenter remarking, “Says the guy who supposedly aced the cognitive tests!” The discussion intensified after Trump recently suggested on ...
