Trump under fire for ‘loathsome’ post about death of Rob Reiner and wife Michele Singer Reiner: Latest
President Donald Trump is under fire over his comments on the deaths of legendary Hollywood director and actor Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele Singer Reiner, 68, who were found fatally stabbed at their Los Angeles home Sunday.
Nick Reiner, the couple’s son, has been arrested on suspicion of murder and is “responsible” for his parents’ deaths, LAPD detectives said.
Reiner, 32, and his father were seen arguing at a Christmas party hosted by Conan O’Brien on Saturday evening, according to reports.
It has since emerged that he fled to a Santa Monica hotel on Sunday evening, where he was ultimately apprehended and where staff reportedly found blood stains.
He is being held without bail and could appear in court as early as Tuesday.
While tributes poured in for the slain couple, Trump blamed Reiner’s death on what he called “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME” in a post on Truth Social, inspiring an angry backlash.
Late-night TV host Jimmy Kimmel, a regular critic of Trump, called his remarks “loathsome” and “hateful and vile” while his guest, Michelle Obama, revealed she and her husband Barack Obama had been expecting to have dinner with the Reiners on Sunday evening.
