President Donald Trump slammed Rob Reiner on Monday morning, a day after the famed Hollywood director and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, were found brutally slain in their Los Angeles home.
Trump’s social-media screed against Reiner, who was a staunch critic of the president, came as the Reiners’ 32-year-old son, Nick, was arrested and held on $4 million bond, according to LA County Sheriff’s Department jail records. That online record for Nick Reiner did not show any charges.
Trump suggested that the couple was killed because of “the anger” Rob Reiner caused in other people due to his opposition to the president.
However, there is no evidence to suggest that this is the case, and the police have not provided any motive.
