Trump Makes Controversial Claim on Rob Reiner’s Death: “A Result of Trump Obsession”
U.S. President Donald Trump linked the deaths of Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife to what he described as an uncontrollable fixation on him, as authorities continue to investigate the case.
Following the discovery of renowned Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Reiner, dead in their Los Angeles home, U.S. President Donald Trump issued a striking statement that sparked fresh controversy. In a post shared on Truth Social, Trump claimed that Reiner’s death was connected to what he referred to as “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” even as the official investigation into the deaths remains ongoing.
Trump Points to “Trump Derangement Syndrome”
In his social media post, Trump described the deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife as “very sad,” but directly blamed what he called a psychological obsession with him. Trump wrote:
“Rob Reiner, once a very talented movie director and comedy star, was deeply troubled. He and his wife Michele reportedly passed away due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind-crippling condition known as Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Claim of an “Uncontrollable Obsession”
Trump went on to argue that Reiner harbored an intense and angry fixation on President Donald J. Trump. Praising his own administration, Trump claimed that while the country was experiencing a “Golden Age,” Reiner’s paranoia intensified, leading to widespread frustration among those around him.
No Evidence Presented by Authorities
Trump did not cite any evidence to support his claims. Law enforcement officials have not corroborated his statements and have provided no indication that political motives or psychological factors played a role in the deaths.
