Trump slams Rob Reiner after killing; director's son Nick in custody

President Donald Trump slammed Rob Reiner on Monday morning, a day after the famed Hollywood director and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found brutally slain in their Los Angeles home.Trump's social-media screed against Reiner, who was a staunch critic of the president, came as the Reiners' 32-year-old son, Nick, was arrested and held on $4 million bond, according to LA County Sheriff's Department jail records. That online record for Nick Reiner did not show any charges.Trump suggested that the couple was killed because of "the anger" Rob Reiner caused in other people due to his opposition to the president. However, there is no evidence to suggest that this is the case, and the police have not provided any motive."A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood," Trump wrote on Truth Social."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 wrote."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," the president wrote. "May Rob and Michele rest in peace!"Reiner blasted Trump in an MS Now interview in October."Make no mistake; we have a year before this country becomes a full-on autocracy, and democracy completely leaves us," Reiner said in that interview."And we're looking at the election in 2026, and Donald Trump knows that in a free and fair election, he will lose," Reiner said. "He will lose the House, the House will flip and will become in Democratic hands. There will be committee chairs who will be able to hold meetings, and this is the last thing he wants."Reiner's movies included "This is Spinal Tap," "The Princess Bride," "When Harry Met Sally," and "A Few Good Men."He first gained fame as playing the son-in-law of Archie Bunker on the classic television show "All in the Family."This is developing news.
