"Trump, in a post on his social media network, said that 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.""
"Trump has a long track record of inflammatory remarks, but his comments in a social media post were a drastic departure from the role presidents typically play in offering a message of consolation or tribute to the death of a public figure. His message drew criticism even from conservatives and his supporters and laid bare Trump's unwillingness to rise above political grievance in moments of crisis."
Police were investigating the deaths of director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner as an apparent homicide after the couple were found dead at their Los Angeles home; investigators believe they suffered stab wounds and their son Nick Reiner was in police custody. President Donald Trump posted an unsubstantiated claim blaming Reiner's opposition and a supposed "TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME" for the killings, saying Reiner drove people "CRAZY" with an obsession over Trump. The post drew criticism from conservatives and supporters and departed from customary presidential condolence. Trump did not mention his personal connection to Michele Singer.
