President Trump is facing rare backlash from within his own party after dismissing the tragic murder of director Rob Reiner and his wife as a byproduct of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a move many conservatives are calling hypocritical.
Prominent allies, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and Charlie Kirk’s producer, have condemned the remarks, contrasting Trump’s mockery with Reiner’s own “grace and compassion” when he denounced the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk earlier this year.
Despite pleas to treat the situation as a “family tragedy” rather than political fodder, Trump has doubled down on his attacks, sparking a heated debate within the MAGA movement about decency and leadership.
