Trump just showed he's 'unraveling' with 'ugly' rant attacking Rob Reiner: column

President Donald Trump's latest "ugly rant" shows he has lost the ability to control himself, a move that could send the remainder of his second term into "freefall," columnist David Corn of Mother Jones wrote on Monday.

In a Truth Social post, Trump blamed Reiner's death on "Trump Derangement Syndrome," a made-up psychological condition Trump's followers created to denigrate the president's critics. Trump doubled down on those comments during a press conference later in the day, saying he was "not a fan" of Reiner.
