President Donald Trump reaffirmed a line of attack that has already stirred outrage across the political spectrum.
When asked on Monday in the White House whether he would retract his previous remarks about the late filmmaker Rob Reiner, Trump replied, "Well, I wasn't a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person as far as Trump is concerned." The brief exchange, terse and unyielding, crystallized what many observers had anticipated: the president would not walk back his comments, but double down.
