RT đ„đ± âHOLLYWOOD ERUPTS AFTER A DEATH â AND KIMMEL DRAWS A LINE IN BLOODâ đ±đ„
Jimmy Kimmel says D0nald T.r.u.m.p is âso hateful and vileâ for attacking Rob Reiner after the directorâs tragic death.
âWhat we need at a time like this is compassion and leadership. We did not get that from our president, because he has none of it to give. Instead, we got a fool rambling about nonsense⊠That corroded brain is in charge of our lives. If you voted for that, itâs OK to reconsider. Itâs perfectly fine. I have to say, I know from my personal interactions with Rob Reiner that he would want us to keep pointing out the loathsome atrocities that continue to ooze out of this sick and irresponsible manâs mouth. So weâre going to do that over and over again until the rest of us wake up.â

Jimmy Kimmel slammed Donald Trump during his Monday night broadcast of âJimmy Kimmel Live!â for saying Rob Reiner died âdue to the anger he caused othersâ through his âTrump derangement syndrome.â
âWhat we need at a time like this, besides common sense when it comes to guns and mental health care, is compassion and leadership. We did not get that from our president, because he has none of it to give. Instead, we got a fool rambling about nonsense,â Kimmel said. âFor Rob and Michele Reiner, we got this post.â
Kimmel then recited Trumpâs Monday morning Truth Social post, which read, âA 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, sometimes referred to as TDS.â

The president continued, âHe 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. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!â
âItâs so hateful and vile,â Kimmel said of the post. âWhen I first saw it, I thought it was fake. My wife showed it to me this morning. I was like, âEven for him, that seemed like too much.â But nothing is ever too much for him.â
Kimmel then turned his attention to an Oval Office press conference, where Trump was given âthe chance to take another shot to act like a human beingâ and take back his post on Reiner. Trump instead doubled down.
âI wasnât a fan of his at all,â Trump told reporters Monday. âHe was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned. He knew it was false. In fact, itâs the exact opposite. He said I was a friend of Russia, controlled by Russia. You know, the Russia hoax. He was one of the people behind it. I think he hurt himself career-wise. He became like a deranged person. Trump derangement syndrome. So, I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all, in any way, shape or form. I thought he was very bad for our country.â
âThat corroded brain is in charge of our lives,â Kimmel said. âIf you voted for that, itâs OK to reconsider. Itâs perfectly fine. I have to say, I know from my personal interactions with Rob Reiner that he would want us to keep pointing out the loathsome atrocities that continue to ooze out of this sick and irresponsible manâs mouth. So weâre going to do that over and over again until the rest of us wake up.â
Kimmel wasnât the only late-night host to discuss Reiner. Colbert opened his Monday night broadcast with a preface in light of Reinerâs death, as well as the shootings at Bondi Beach and Brown University.
âHello, everybody,â a somber Colbert said at his desk. âNormally, we start the show with a short cold open about a major news story of the day. But after the terrible news this past weekend, the horrifying Hanukkah massacre at Bondi Beach, the tragic shootings at Brown University and the heartbreaking deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner, all of the major stories are too dark for that. Other peopleâs tragedy is sacred ground, and we try very hard not to walk there. But we are going to do a comedy show tonight, in light of and in spite of the darkness.â
Reiner, a prolific filmmaker who broke into Hollywood starring in âAll in the Familyâ before directing films like âStand by Me,â âWhen Harry Met SallyâŠ,â âThis Is Spinal Tapâ and âA Few Good Men,â was found stabbed to death Sunday afternoon in his Brentwood home alongside his wife of 36 years, Michele Singer. Reiner was 78, and Singer was 70.

Nick Reiner, the son of Rob and Michele, was arrested on Sunday at 9:15 p.m. and booked on Monday at 5:05 a.m. on suspicion of his parentsâ murder, per the Los Angeles County Sheriffâs Department online records.
LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell confirmed during a Monday morning press conference that Nick Reiner had been âbooked for murder.â He added that it was a âvery, very tragic incident.â
Charges have not been filed. The LAPD said in a press release that investigators are expected to submit the case to the DA for filing on Tuesday.
