President Donald Trump reported on the murder of Film Director Rob Reiner on Truth Social, writing, “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.”
The director and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner, 68, were murdered in their Brentwood home, stabbed to death allegedly by their son, Nick Reiner, 32. So far, most of the Trump base seems dissatisfied with the reaction, with only a small few defending the comments. The strongest defense he gets is, “He screwed up here but all in all he’s the best we got.” Nick Reiner has been arrested, charged with double-homicide, and held without bail. An arraignment is not scheduled until January 2026.
President Donald Trump delivered a stunning response Monday following the explosive news that Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, were stabbed to death in their Los Angeles home.
The Reiners were brutally murdered in their Brentwood home.
Reiner’s son, Nick Reiner, has since been arrested and is being held on $4 million bail as police continue their homicide investigation.
Trump, long a target of Reiner’s public hostility and anti-Trump activism, issued a characteristically blunt statement on Truth Social.
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” Trump wrote.
