When it comes to Trump Derangement Syndrome, few have suffered with the condition like filmmaker Rob Reiner. His Twitter/X rants about Trump and the end of democracy leading up to the 2024 election were legendary.
Now that the election is over, and Trump won not only the Electoral College but the popular vote as well, Reiner has admitted himself to a ‘facility’ where he can get some much needed quiet. This is not parody.
The Daily Wire reports:
Rob Reiner Says He’s Checking Into Facility To Find ‘Peace’ After Leaving X For BlueskyRob Reiner said he’s checking into a facility to find “peace and relaxation” after he left X for the Bluesky social media platform following President-elect Donald Trump’s victory.In a series of posts on Wednesday on Bluesky, the 77-year-old director accused what he called “MAGA scum” of coming over to the platform and ruining it after he and other Hollywood stars announced they had left Elon Musk’s X for the platform after Trump beat Vice President Kamala Harris, the Wrap reported.“This platform is vile, racist and evil,” Reiner wrote. “It did not take long for MAGA scum to come spread their lies.”“I have made the decision to take the next few days to check into a facility for peace and relaxation,” he added in a second post a short time later. “No phones, social media , no trolls, just calmness to heal my pain.”
Here’s a screencap of Reiner’s post on Bluesky. Again, this is real:
PJ Media has more on Reiner’s recent social media struggles on Bluesky:
“Anyone continuing to post hate towards me here will be blocked,” he posted on the platform on Saturday. “I escaped the other place for a more peaceful time.””I’m finding it very hard to sleep these days. It is 3:15 am,” he posted later. “I am laying awake dreading January 20th 2025.”The situation wasn’t looking good on Sunday when he announced, “I have big decisions to make. For the good of myself, my family, and my country.”Things seemed better the following day, when he announced, “After much discussion and heated debate with family, friends and colleagues I have decided for my own sanity and health moving forward to accept what is coming.”
There are some people who obsess about politics but really shouldn’t follow political news at all.
Here’s hoping Rob Reiner gets the quiet rest he clearly needs right now.
