Jimmy Kimmel laid into Donald Trump during his Jimmy Kimmel Live! monologue on Monday, December 15, after the president bashed Hollywood director Rob Reiner in the wake of his tragic death alongside wife Michele Singer Reiner.

"What we need at a time like this, besides common sense when it comes to guns and mental health care, is compassion and leadership. We did not get that from our president, because he has none of it to give," Jimmy declared.

"It’s so hateful and vile,” he said. "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 continued, "That corroded brain is in charge of our lives," adding, "If you voted for that, it’s OK to reconsider. It’s perfectly fine."

He concluded, "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."

Donald Trump accused Rob Reiner of having what he called, 'Trump Derangement Syndrome.'

The president's shocking full Truth Social statement read: "A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. 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."

"He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before," the POTUS continued. "May Rob and Michele rest in peace!"

He further added, "I thought he was very bad for our country."
