Host Jimmy Kimmel criticized United States President Donald Trump on his late-night show for something he considered “too much, even for him”: blaming one person for his own murder, namely director Rob Reiner.
Trump said yesterday on his SocialTruth network that Reiner, murdered yesterday along with his wife Michele, allegedly by their son, “would have died because of the anger he provoked in others with his massive, persistent and incurable affliction, a paralyzing illness known as Trump Alienation Syndrome.”
Kimmel cited the president’s full message, in which he called Reiner, one of the most famous filmmakers of the last few decades, a “tormented and struggling filmmaker and comedian” in addition to being “known for driving people crazy with his unbridled obsession with President Donald J. Trump.”
“When I first saw it, I thought it was fake,” the host said of the post on his show Jimmy Kimmel Live! “I thought, ‘Even for him, that seemed too much.’ » But nothing is too much for him.
“It’s so heinous and despicable,” Kimmel said, explaining that a few hours later, during a press conference in the Oval Office of the White House, Trump emphasized his attacks on the murdered man: “He became kind of a deranged man. Trump syndrome. So I was not at all an admirer of Rob Reiner, by any means. I thought he was very harmful to our country.”
Kimmel was firm on Trump’s latest statements: “This corroded brain controls our lives. »
“What we need at a time like this is compassion and leadership. We didn’t get it from our president, because he has none of that to offer. Instead, we have a fool rambling on about nonsense…” he said.
“If you voted for this, you may reconsider your decision. That’s perfectly fine. I have to say, from my personal interactions with Rob Reiner, that I know he would want us to continue to highlight the disgusting atrocities that continue to come out of the mouth of this sick, irresponsible man. So we will do it again and again until the rest of us wake up.”
