Marjorie Taylor Greene criticized President Donald Trump for blaming director Rob Reiner’s death on “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” saying his remarks were inappropriate and lacked compassion. The article also reports Greene’s engagement and her planned resignation from Congress.
Greene told CNN that Trump’s comments about Reiner and his wife’s deaths were “below the office of the President” and said he should have responded with compassion. Trump had linked Reiner’s death to what he called the director’s “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and later said Reiner was “bad for our country.” The article describes Greene’s criticism as the latest development in their public split over the White House’s handling of the Epstein files.
