Calling the When Harry Met Sally director and his wife "some of the most decent, courageous people you ever want to know," Michelle was outraged by President Trump's claims Rob died after suffering from "Trump Derangement Syndrome.""They're not deranged or crazed. What they have always been are passionate people in a time when there's not a lot of courage going on," the Becoming author declared. "They were the kind of people who were ready to put their actions behind what they cared about - and they cared about their family, and they cared about this country, and they cared about fairness and equity. That is the truth. I do know them."

Many were disturbed by the POTUS' reaction to the Reiners' deaths, especially after he doubled down on his remarks during a Monday press conference."Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS," Trump ranted via Truth Social.
When asked about his harsh comments while speaking to reporters inside of the Oval Office, Trump held his stance, insisting he "was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape, or form."
