A fierce national backlash erupted after President Donald Trump appeared to mock the brutal deaths of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, in a contentious social-media post.
The bodies of the acclaimed film director and his wife were discovered in their Brentwood, Los Angeles home with fatal stab wounds, triggering a homicide investigation and the arrest of their son, Nick Reiner. Within hours, Trump posted a commentary that many saw as politicising a family tragedy.
