Donald Trump criticised for ‘shameful’ response to Rob Reiner and his wife’s murder
US President Donald Trump has been widely criticised for his response to the murder of filmmaker Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle.
On Sunday, Reiner and his wife were found dead in their Los Angeles home, allegedly murdered by their 32-year-old son, Nick.
In Trump’s Truth Social post, he claimed Reiner caused others “anger” through his “massive, unyielding and incurable affliction” with Trump Derangement Syndrome.
The left predictably slammed Trump’s post, but many supporters of the president and prominent Republicans also criticised his remarks.
“Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered. I guess my elected GOP colleagues, the VP, and White House staff will just ignore it because they’re afraid? I challenge anyone to defend it,” wrote Republican Representative Thomas Massie.
