"President Donald Trump on Monday blamed Rob Reiner's outspoken opposition to the president for the actor-director's killing, delivering the unsubstantiated claim in a shocking post that seemed intent on decrying his opponents even in the face of a tragedy. The statement, even for Trump, was a shocking comment that came as police were still investigating the deaths of the director and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, as an apparent homicide."
"Trump, in a post on his social media network, said Reiner and his wife were killed "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." He said Reiner "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.""
Police found director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner dead at their Los Angeles home, and investigators believe they suffered stab wounds. Their son, Nick Reiner, was in police custody as authorities continued an apparent homicide investigation. President Donald Trump posted on social media blaming Reiner's outspoken opposition and alleging a condition he called "TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME" caused anger leading to the killings. The post drew criticism from conservatives and some Republican allies for its timing and unsubstantiated linkage of political grievance to the deaths. Michele Singer had photographed the cover of Trump's 1987 book.
