""Horror. An absolute horror," the director, actor and political activist said when asked about the shooting in a TV interview with Piers Morgan. "I unfortunately saw the video of it and it's beyond belief what happened to him and that should never happen to anybody. I don't care what your political beliefs are. That's not acceptable.""
""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 said in a social media post."
""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. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!""
Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home, and their son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested in connection with the slayings. Rob Reiner had earlier described the assassination of a conservative influencer as "an absolute horror" and urged that violence against anyone is unacceptable regardless of political beliefs. The presidential social-media post characterized Reiner as suffering from "TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME" and framed his behavior as a destructive obsession rather than offering sympathy. The juxtaposition between a call for empathy and a mocking national response underscores heightened political polarization and rhetorical cruelty.
