Trump's extraordinary claim that the brutal deaths of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife were linked to political anger drew criticism even from some of his staunchest supporters, who called his comments tacky and tasteless'.
The remarks followed a shocking double homicide in Los Angeles, where Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, 68, were found stabbed to death at their Brentwood home on Sunday, Dec. 14, 2025. Authorities have arrested their son, Nick Reiner, 32, on suspicion of murder and set bail at £3.2 million ($4 million).
