Hollywood legend Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, were found dead at their home, and all fingers are pointing at their son, Nick Reiner. He was taken into custody on murder charges. Reports of erratic behavior at a party hosted by Conan O’Brien just before his parents’ death raised further suspicion.
According to Sky News, his behavior left everyone uncomfortable, including his own mother, Michele. She appeared to be quite embarrassed and upset with him. The suspicion against Nick was solidified when authorities reported stab wounds on their bodies.

Just when the whole of America and even the world cinema industry were mourning Rob and his wife’s passing, Donald Trump shared a statement on Truth Social, which led to some significant outrage.
Right after the news of their death broke out, Trump wrote that Rob Reiner was suffering from an “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 with President Donald,” Trump added in the same post. His remarks faced massive criticism, even from celebrities.
Whoopi Goldberg, who is a known Trump critic, wrote, “I don’t understand the man in the White House. He spoke at length about Charlie Kirk and about caring, and then this is what he puts out. Have you no shame? No shame at all? Can you get any lower? I don’t think so.”
Jimmy Kimmel, who was previously engaged in a dispute with Donald Trump over a comment he made following Charlie Kirk’s death, also reacted to the POTUS’s recent statement.
Jimmy Kimmel addressed Donald Trump’s reaction to Rob Reiner’s death:
“What we need in a time like this is compassion and leadership. We did not get that from our president, because he has none of that to give…

“You know, I have to say this is the kind of weekend that makes you wonder if things will ever feel good again,” he said during his late show. The host added, “What we need in a time like this, besides common sense when it comes to guns and mental healthcare, is compassion and leadership.”
“We did not get that from our president because he has none of it to give. Instead, we got a fool rambling about nonsense, we got a brief moment of respect for our friends in Australia, we got a brief moment of condolence followed by a ‘thing happened’ for the students at Brown and for Rob and Michele Reiner,” said Kimmel.
Meanwhile, Piers Morgan had a suggestion for Trump. “Delete it, Mr President,” he said. Condemning the Republican leader’s remarks, Morgan said, “This is a dreadful thing to say about a man who just got murdered by his troubled son.”
