  • In the same post, he described Reiner as obsessed and “deranged,” even as he added a closing line saying “may Rob and Michele rest in peace.”
  • Trump also linked Reiner to the “Russia hoax,” saying Reiner helped push allegations that Trump was influenced by Russia and calling him “very bad for our country.”

Context about Rob Reiner

  • Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were recently found dead in their Los Angeles home, with their son taken into custody as a suspect, which made Trump’s tone especially controversial.

Reaction and fallout
