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.
“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.”
Trump continued by describing Reiner’s well-documented fixation on attacking him during and after his first presidency.
“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.”
Trump concluded, “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”
Authorities have not publicly confirmed the victims’ identities, but the Los Angeles Fire Department reported that a 78-year-old man and a 68-year-old woman were found dead inside a Brentwood residence Sunday afternoon, matching the couple’s ages.
Nevertheless, family members have confirmed the deaths of the Hollywood couple to multiple media outlets.
Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton, head of detectives for the LAPD, told reporters that investigators had not yet identified a suspect at the time.
“We are going to try to speak to every family member that we can to get to the facts of this investigation,” Hamilton said.
Multiple outlets have since reported that the Reiners died of stab wounds and that a family member, now identified as their son Nick, was questioned and ultimately arrested in connection with the murders.
Reiner, who turned 78 in March, was a heavyweight in Hollywood for decades.
His directing career produced some of the most defining films of the late 20th century, including “This Is Spinal Tap,” “The Princess Bride,” “When Harry Met Sally,” “Stand By Me,” and “A Few Good Men.”
He also worked steadily as an actor, with roles in “Sleepless in Seattle,” “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and a recent recurring part on the hit series “The Bear.”
Reiner met his wife, Michele Singe,r in 1989 on the set of “When Harry Met Sally.”
The couple married the same year and had three children together.
