Jimmy Kimmel Addresses Trump’s Remarks Regarding Rob Reiner
Tensions erupted again between Jimmy Kimmel and Donald Trump following the tragic deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner. The late Hollywood director and his wife were found dead in their Brentwood home on Sunday, December 14, and Trump’s controversial remarks about the tragedy sparked immediate backlash.
During Monday night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel didn’t hold back. He criticized Trump for calling Reiner’s death the result of “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” calling the comments “hateful and vile.” Reading Trump’s Monday morning Truth Social post aloud, Kimmel highlighted the former president’s words suggesting that Reiner’s anger toward Trump somehow contributed to his passing.
“It’s so hateful,” Kimmel said. “When I first saw it, I thought it was fake. But nothing is ever too much for him.” He added pointedly, “That corroded brain is in charge of our lives.”
