Trump's 'Peace President' brand just became more 'mendacious' after Reiner rant: column
President Donald Trump's rant about slain director Rob Reiner just made his "Peace President" brand more "mendacious," according to one columnist.
Reiner and his wife, Michele, were murdered in their Hollywood, California home on Sunday, according to reports. Their son, Nick, has been indicted on murder charges related to the case.
In response to Reiner's death, Trump posted on Truth Social that Reiner suffered from "Trump Derangement Syndrome" and suggested that this may have contributed to his death. Trump doubled down on those comments during a press conference later on Monday, where he said he was "not a big fan" of Reiner, who was a frequent critic of the president.
Michael Daly, a senior correspondent for The Daily Beast, slammed Trump's comments in a new column.
"The most extreme victim of Trump Derangement Syndrome is President Donald J. Trump himself," Daly wrote in the column.
Daly noted Reiner's frequent criticisms of Trump, and his openness to discussing the threat he posed.
"But when those troubles erupted into horror on Sunday night, Trump made it all about him," Daly continued. "His post on Truth Social on Monday morning was among the most disgraceful things ever to blight social media."
"Trump said all this even as some of his supporters were coming to see the unsocial truth behind his mendacious rantings on Truth Social," he added. "And to make it all the worst of the worst, Trump had the unconscionable gall to close by saying, 'May Rob and Michele rest in peace!' That gives new meaning to his claim to be the Peace President."
