Trump attacks slain filmmaker Rob Reiner, calling him ‘deranged’ angering his own MAGA base | USA

Donald Trump is facing an unusual backlash from within his own political base after comments he made following the killing of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife. The president’s remarks, posted within hours of the news, reignited debates over political restraint, consistency and moral lines in moments of tragedy. With senior Republicans publicly pushing back and MAGA figures divided, the episode has reopened old wounds over rhetoric, loyalty and the limits of partisan combat. As comparisons surface with past political violence, the controversy threatens to deepen internal fractures.
