Rob Reiner, the director, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were discovered deceased at their home in Brentwood, California, on Sunday.
Police are investigating the deaths as a homicide, and the couple’s 32-year-old son, Nick Reiner, has been arrested in connection with the case.
When news of the deaths became public, people immediately focused on how President Donald Trump would respond. Instead of expressing sympathy, Trump used his Truth Social account to continue a long-standing argument with Rob Reiner. This post quickly caused strong criticism online and on television news channels.
In a social media post, Trump claimed Rob Reiner was suffering from what he termed “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.” He also stated that Reiner’s intense focus on him had “driven people CRAZY.”
When reporters questioned Trump about the post at the White House, he didn’t retract his statement. Instead, he strongly reaffirmed it.
When asked about the criticism, Trump said he never liked Rob Reiner, describing him as ‘deranged.’ Trump also asserted that Reiner hurt his own career by criticizing him during the investigation into Russian interference, which Trump called a hoax.
Trump concluded his comments by stating he strongly disliked Rob Reiner, believing him to be detrimental to the country, and then took another question.
Following the news of Rob Reiner’s passing, Donald Trump reiterated his critical views of the director. He described Reiner as ‘deranged’ and suffering from what he called ‘Trump derangement syndrome,’ adding that he ‘was not a fan at all’ and believed Reiner was ‘very bad for our country.’

Director Rob Reiner is well-known for both his popular movies and his willingness to speak out on political issues. He previously expressed concerns, in interviews like one with Ali Velshi on MSNBC, that the U.S. was moving towards authoritarianism under President Trump. These statements received significant media attention when they were first made.
News of Rob Reiner’s reported death prompted a strong response from Donald Trump, which in turn drew criticism from many public figures. Maria Shriver, a close family friend, publicly denounced Trump’s comments on X (formerly Twitter).
News outlets shared screenshots of Shriver calling Trump’s behavior “completely lacking in human decency” and describing his comments as “absolutely disgusting.” She emphasized that the Reiner family was going through immense pain and needed support, not political criticism.
The ongoing investigation has revealed a heartbreaking and contentious situation, prompting discussion about how leaders handle personal grief amidst political conflict.
