‘Incurable affliction’: Trump claims Rob Reiner killing linked to ‘Trump derangement syndrome’, calls him ‘struggling’ actor
US President Donald Trump on Monday claimed that the killing of Hollywood actor-director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were linked to Reiner’s “massive, unyielding, and incurable” criticism of him. He termed it as a disease known as “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.”
Reiner and his wife were found dead at their Brentwood home on Sunday afternoon. Their son has been arrested but the charges haven’t been specified and is being held on a $4 million bail, reported Fox5.
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. 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. 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!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
Paramedics from the Los Angeles fire department were called to the home on Chadbourne Avenue around 3:30 pm local time on Sunday. Officers discovered a man and woman with stab wounds.
Police said in a statement: “On December 14th, at around 1540 hours, LAPD Officers assigned to West LA Division responded to a death investigation in the 200 block of South Chadbourne Avenue. Once inside the residence, officers discovered two decedents. The identity of the decedents has not yet been confirmed. Robbery Homicide Division (RHD) responded to the residence, which has been identified as the home of Rob Reiner.”
No official confirmation has linked Reiner’s political opinions to the deaths. Authorities have not released further details regarding a motive or the involvement of any family members.
Multiple media reports, including People and TMZ, have cited unnamed sources claiming the couple was killed by their son, but these remain unverified and have not been confirmed by law enforcement.
Reiner, known for his role as Michael “Meathead” Stivic on the 1970s sitcom All in the Family and as director of films such as This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, The Princess Bride, and A Few Good Men, has been an outspoken critic of President Trump in the past. Michele Singer Reiner was a photographer and producer; the couple had three children.
The investigation is ongoing. Police have asked the public not to speculate and await further updates.
