Devastating news last night that acclaimed actor and director Rob Reiner was murdered alongside his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner. There are no words to properly convey how tragic the situation is. Details are still emerging, but Rob and Michelle’s son Nick Reiner has been arrested for murder. Reports indicate the couple’s daughter Romy is who found them, and called 911. This horrible situation hasn’t stopped some people from distorting the narrative surrounding these horrific events. One of the people doing so is convicted felon and current president of the United States, Donald Trump.
Among the many things Rob Reiner was well known for was his politics. Reiner was always outspoken about his political beliefs whether it be as himself, or in his projects. He had been a fierce critic of conservatives throughout the decades, and Trump was not spared this criticism. Trump knows this, and decided to use Reiner’s murder to justify his being killed, impose his own reasoning upon why the murder happened, and prove once again that he is one of the worst examples of humanity to have ever graced this planet.
While first acknowledging the sad events that took place on Sunday, Trump used his Truth social platform to go completely off the rails. He stated the death of Reiner was, “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, sometimes referred to as TDS.”
“He 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, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”
There is absolutely no justification for something like this to be coming out of the leader of the free world.
These comments have caused one of Reiner’s recent interviews to go viral. He spoke about the murder of alt-right political figure Charlie Kirk, calling the situation “an absolute horror,” and that it “should never happen to anybody.”
Instead of the current POTUS’ strange and frankly troubling statements, let’s instead read this from former President Barack Obama:
“Michelle and I are heartbroken by the tragic passing of Rob Reiner and his beloved wife, Michele,” Obama posted to his social media accounts. “Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen. But beneath all of the stories he produced was a deep belief in the goodness of people—and a lifelong commitment to putting that belief into action. Together, he and his wife lived lives defined by purpose. They will be remembered for the values they championed and the countless people they inspired. We send our deepest condolences to all who loved them.”
Our thoughts are with the friends, family, and fans of the Reiners.
