US President Donald Trump on Monday claimed that the killing of Hollywood actor-director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were linked to Reiner’s “massive, unyielding, and incurable” criticism of him. He termed it as a disease known as “TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.” Reiner and his wife were found dead at their Brentwood home on Sunday afternoon. Their son has been arrested but the charges haven’t been specified and is being held on a $4 million bail, reported Fox5.“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and 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 of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness, and with the Golden Age of America upon us, perhaps like never before. May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” Trump posted on Truth Social.
