Carl Reiner, who died at the age of 98 on Monday, frequently took Trump to task on the platform.
Just hours before he died, the “Dick Van Dyke Show” creator lamented the result of the 2016 election, describing the president as “a bankrupted and corrupt businessman.”
As I arose at 7:30 this morning, I was saddened to relive the day that led up to the election of a bankrupted and corrupt businessman who had no qualifications to be the leader of any country in the civilized world...

... At the same time, Hillary Clinton, who had all the needed
qualifications to lead our beloved nation, had received 3 million more popular votes than our Russian-installed puppet president.— carl reiner (@carlreiner) June 29, 2020
In 2018, Reiner even said he hoped to live until November 2020 “so I can vote for whoever runs against our fake President Trump.”
At 96 and 6 months I have an incentive to hang around untill I'm 98 so I can vote for whoever runs against our fake President Trump

Annie Reiner on Friday also shared this photograph, taken of her father just two days before he died, wearing a top bearing the Black Lives Matter logo.
“As you can see he was happy and vital up to the very end. He will be sorely missed,” she wrote:
