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.

A prominent GOP strategist called out President Donald Trump's "indefensible" statements about a slain director on Monday during an interview on CNN.

On Sunday night, director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were found dead in their Hollywood, California, home. Authorities have said the Reiners' son, Nick, is "responsible" for his parents' death, and he faces murder charges in their killings.

A staffer at a right-wing news site published a scathing critique of President Donald Trump's posts blaming Hollywood director Rob Reiner for his own killing, asserting the president's widely-derided message represented a "massive" tactical "misstep" that may ultimately come back to haunt Republicans in the midterms.

In a rant to his Truth Social platform, 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."

A former GOP speechwriter flagged a troubling part of a new "emergency" that President Donald Trump declared on Monday.

Trump announced during the Mexican Border Defense Medal presentation at the White House on Monday that his administration is designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction.

A former federal prosecutor slammed FBI Director Kash Patel on Monday for making the same mistake he made during a previous high-profile shooting.

Glenn Kirschner, a former Deputy U.S. attorney in Washington, D.C., made the comment on a recent episode of his podcast, "Justice Matters," calling Patel's announcement "premature" about a person of interest who was detained in the mass shooting at Brown University on Saturday, which left two students dead and injured nine others.

A disgraced former Republican congressman made a stunning claim about an investigation into a Senate Democrat on Monday.

Former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), now a media personality for One America News, posted on X that the Department of Defense's investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is "escalating." The Pentagon is investigating Kelly for potentially breaking the law when he appeared in a video alongside several other Democratic lawmakers to tell military troops that they can disobey illegal orders.

President Donald Trump's mockery of the slain Hollywood star Rob Reiner earned a stern rebuke from The Atlantic's John Dickerson, who scorched the MAGA leader for using grief as a "plaything."

Dickerson wrote Monday that the violent deaths of Reiner and his wife ignited a moment of national reflection, as much of Reiner's work was woven into America's collective experience, with films like "The Princess Bride," "Stand by Me," and "When Harry Met Sally."

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.

On Monday, Trump lashed out over news that filmmaker and prominent Trump critic Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, had been murdered in their home. 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.
