Director Morgan J. Freeman (not to be confused with actor Morgan Freeman) harshly criticized Donald Trump for his statements regarding the murders of Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner, for which his son Nick Reiner faces aggravated murder charges, which could lead to a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty. Thanks to his X account, the author of Hurricane streets He assured that “he was a good man” and that the President of the United States was “a piece of shit”.
Morgan J. Freeman’s reaction This comes days after the US leader said, hours after the double crime, that the author of films like The Princess Bride either When Harry Met Sally He was “a troubled and struggling director and comedian” and “suffered from anti-Trump alienation syndrome.”
This was neither the first nor the last of Morgan J. Freeman’s posts against Trump. Already on Monday, the actor and director wrote a first tweet in which he claimed that the office of president could not “be real” and that he was “a cruel, merciless and evil creature.” In a second post, he apologized to the couple’s friends and family because “this disgusting criminal issued such a disrespectful, deplorable, evil, cruel and callous statement”: “I am ashamed to be an American.”
Hours later, he emphasized his criticism of Trump: “He’s pure scum. “His comments about Rob Reiner are beyond reprehensible and anyone who supports him should be completely ashamed. Trump is the worst thing to ever happen to America,” wrote Morgan J. Freeman, who posted another tweet asking who supported the president after his “disgusting comments.”
On Tuesday, Morgan J. Freeman tweeted that Trump was a “shit” and added: another tweet that “kicking someone when they’re dead is deplorable” and “that’s what Trump and MAGA do.” In another article, he summarized an article he published on Subtrack in which he explained that “Trump watched the horrific double homicide of Rob and Michelle Reiner and did what he always does when empathy is required: he mocked the victims and made himself his own protagonist.”
“After these brutal murders by his own son, Trump failed to lead with humanity and restraint. He politicized the moment, discredited the deaths, and fueled his vile insinuations instead of decency,” said Morgan J. Freeman, who noted that “in the face of pain, Trump chose resentment”: “In the face of death, he chose ego. That’s who he is and it’s disgusting.”
This series of critical tweets from Morgan J. Freeman against Trump comes after the US leader, hours after learning of the crime, said that Rob Reiner was known for “driving people crazy” for his “furious obsession” with him and that the filmmaker had “obvious paranoia” and had “reached new heights.”
Morgan J. Freeman is not the first to criticize Trump’s comments. The American president’s comments did not go unnoticed and aroused great disapproval. For example, Jimmy Kimmel His Monday monologue took advantage of Trump’s “hateful” and “vile” comment about Rob Reiner after his assassination: “This corroded brain controls our lives. » “When I first saw it, I thought it was fake,” the host admitted on his show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, in which he added that “even for him it seemed like a lot, but nothing is too much for him.”
Even within the ranks of his loyal supporters within the MAGA world, voices dissenting from the president have emerged. Such was the case with still-Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who reminded Trump that the crime was “a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies” and that it is “incredibly difficult” for families to deal with loved ones suffering from addictions and mental issues who “should be treated with empathy, especially if it ends in murder.” Thomas Massie, a Republican congressman from Kentucky, noted that “whatever your feelings about Rob Reiner, this is an inappropriate and disrespectful speech about a man who was just brutally murdered.”
Rob Reiner recently criticized Trump’s efforts to influence entertainment and media companies and compared the current U.S. government’s policies to the era of McCarthyism: “It seems almost naive compared to what’s happening in the United States right now,” he said.
