President Donald Trump said on Truth Social that film director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michelle Singer Reiner, died because of “Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
The couple were found dead on Sunday in what police are calling an “apparent homicide.”
“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood,” Trump wrote on Truth Social on Monday morning.
“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 added.
Trump often says his opponents are afflicted with “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” an ailment once defined by Urban Dictionary as a “mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason.”
“He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession with 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,” Trump concluded. “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!”
Reiner, a prominent Democratic donor, expressed fierce opposition to Trump online and deleted his X account following the 2024 election. He told the Daily Beast in September that Trump “doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.”
Reiner also compared Trump to a “zombie or a cockroach” for running in the 2024 presidential election.

Trump’s Truth Social post has triggered reactions.
“Remember when people were cancelled for not expressing the proper Official Emotions of Grief for Charlie Kirk? Yeah, me too. In related news, Trump’s grave will reek of ammonia for all eternity,” Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson wrote on X.
