Overview
- Rob Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found dead in their Brentwood home, with authorities treating the case as an apparent double homicide involving knife wounds.
- Their son, Nick Reiner, 32, has been arrested and booked on murder charges and is being held on $4 million bail as detectives and the coroner continue the investigation.
- President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social that Reiner’s death was ‘reportedly’ tied to a supposed ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome,’ a claim not supported by law enforcement.
- Republican figures including Marjorie Taylor Greene, Thomas Massie, Don Bacon, Mike Lawler, and Stephanie Bice criticized the president’s post, joining Democrats and conservative media commentators in calling it inappropriate.
- Some pro-Trump voices such as Laura Loomer amplified the ‘TDS’ framing, while the Reiner children issued a statement expressing profound sorrow and requesting privacy.
