Jimmy Kimmel stated in his December 15, 2025, Jimmy Kimmel Live! broadcast:"What we need at a time like this, besides common sense when it comes to guns and mental health care, is compassion and leadership.

For Rob and Michele Reiner, we got this post."Kimmel then went on to share the post that Trump posted on his company-owned social media, Truth Social, before further condemning it, saying;“It’s so hateful and vile. When I first saw it, I thought it was fake. My wife showed it to me this morning. I was like, ‘Even for him, that seemed like too much.’ But nothing is ever too much for him"Jimmy Kimmel then went on to criticize Trump for his statement to reporters regarding Reiner, where Trump stated that he did not like Reiner and called him a 'deranged' person. Kimmel stated in response to Trump's statement to the reporters:"That corroded brain is in charge of our lives. If you voted for that, it’s OK to reconsider. It’s perfectly fine. I have to say, I know from my personal interactions with Rob Reiner that he would want us to keep pointing out the loathsome atrocities that continue to ooze out of this sick and irresponsible man’s mouth. So we’re going to do that over and over again until the rest of us wake up."More on Trump's statement about Rob Reiner's death that triggered Jimmy Kimmel's criticismTrump, overall, in his statements regarding Reiner's death, stated that he was not a fan of Rob Reiner, that he considered Reiner to be 'deranged', and that he thought that Reiner had been bad for the country.
