Posts Truth Social attack on Rob Reiner amid homicide investigation into his and his wife's deaths

After news reports said officials were investigating the deaths of Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, as a homicide, Trump posted a disparaging message on Truth Social instead of condolences. He described Reiner as “tortured and struggling” and blamed his death on “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME,” using the case to attack a longtime critic. NPR reported that authorities arrested the couple’s 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, in connection with the deaths.
