Famed actor/director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood, California mansion on Sunday, December 14.
Their 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner was arrested on Monday and charged with their murders. He is being held in jail on $4 million bond.
Rob Reiner hated President Donald Trump with a passion. Reiner roasted Trump online and on every talk show for years.
In 2017, he said Trump was “mentally unfit” for the presidency.

However, no one expected Trump to respond to Reiner’s murder by blaming the legendary director for his own death.
In a post on his Truth Social app on Monday, December 15, Trump said Reiner died “reportedly due to the anger he caused others through… a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
“He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump,” Trump added.
GOP lawmakers slammed Trump for going too far.
“Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered,” Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie wrote on X (Twitter).
“I challenge anyone to defend it,” he added.
Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who recently resigned from Congress, wrote on X: “This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies.”
But Trump doubled down when a reporter asked if he still stands by his comments after Republicans denounced his post on Truth Social.
“Well, I wasn’t a fan of his at all. He was a deranged person, as far as Trump is concerned,” Trump responded. “So I wasn’t a fan of Rob Reiner at all. In any way, shape, or form. I thought he was very bad for our country.”
REPORTER: “Mr. President, a number of Republicans have denounced your statement on Truth Social after the murder of Rob Reiner. Do you stand by that post?”

Former Trump loyalist Nick Fuentes said Trump’s comment crossed over the line.
“Someone gets murdered by their son – its’ a horrific tragedy. It’s a horrible story and nobody deserves that. I don’t care what their politics are,” said Fuentes in an episode of his podcast. “It’s despicable to make fun of that.”

? BREAKING: Even Nick Fuentes is condemning Donald Trump over his grotesque post about Rob Reiner’s murder.
When the man who built a career on extremism is saying this crossed a line, that tells you everything.

Social media users also condemned Trump’s statements about Reiner.
X user @allenalysis wrote: “People lost their jobs over comments about Charlie Kirk. Meanwhile, the President of the United States is publicly mocking the murder of Rob Reiner and his wife, claiming he died from ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.'”
Another user @dpakman wrote: “Trump’s comment about the assassination of Rob Reiner and his wife is one of the sickest reactions to a killing I have ever seen, period. It is what a seriously mentally deranged person would say, and it goes without saying this post would get you fired from most jobs.”
Conservatives who voted for Trump 3 times now regret supporting him.
But others defended Trump. They note that many on the left cracked jokes after Charlie Kirk died.
Still, one Trump supporter wishes the president would stop commenting on social media and “lead the country.”
Nope. I don’t regret my vote or why I voted. But I fully admit that sometimes I wish this man would just STFU and just lead the country. Throwing dirt on a man who was murdered is wrong. I get it. The guy came for you. But you (Trump) missed a huge opportunity to rise above it.… pic.twitter.com/647oEpHbmF
