Q: A number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Rob Reiner. Do you stand by it?
TRUMP: Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned.

Remember when, in the post-Referendum years, Remain had over 50% support in the polls, but the BBC ignored Remainers because the two main parties in Parliament were pro-Brexit. But now the BBC says it has to give massive coverage to Reform UK, because it has 30% in the polls.

Trump’s latest attack on Rob Reiner: grotesquely inappropriate, pure narcissism, and screaming dementia/paranoia.
Fox/Newsmax will spin it: “he didn’t mean it” or blame some cult-believable conspiracy. Pathetic.
