Trump slams Rob Reiner after his death |
The president lashed out at slain director and actor Rob Reiner, who was killed alongside his wife, Michele Singer, in their Los Angeles home on Dec. 14, according to police. The president fired off a social media post about the tragic murders today , saying Reiner's death was due to a "mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME." Trump continued: "He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump." Reiner, 78, repeatedly criticized Trump, but there has been no indication from officials that Reiner's death had anything to do with his political beliefs. | President Donald J.
