President Donald Trump stood firm on Monday evening regarding controversial comments he made about the Sunday killing of director Rob Reiner.

Earlier Monday, Trump referred to the killing of Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer, as a “very sad thing” before blaming Reiner’s own politics for the crime. The president claimed on Truth Social that the pair, believed to have been stabbed to death by Reiner’s adult son, had died because of “the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
