“IT’S ALL ABOUT HIM” – TRUMP BLAMES ROB REINER FOR HIS OWN MURDER
A Man and His Wife Were Brutally Murdered By Their Son. Trump Made It About Himself.
Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were stabbed to death in their home on Sunday.
Their son—a 32-year-old man struggling with addiction—has been arrested for their murder.
A family is destroyed. Children have lost their parents. Grandchildren have lost their grandparents. Friends are devastated. Hollywood is in mourning.
And Donald Trump’s response?
Rob Reiner deserved it because he criticized Trump.
Here’s What Trump Actually Posted:
“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.”
Read that again.
“Due to the anger he caused others.”
Trump is saying Rob Reiner was murdered because he criticized Trump.
Not because his son was battling addiction. Not because of a tragic mental health crisis. Not because of a family in pain.
Because Rob Reiner had the audacity to speak out against Donald Trump.
Let Me Be Absolutely Clear About What Trump Just Did:
He blamed a murder victim for his own death.
He looked at a man who was stabbed to death by his own son—a son struggling with addiction and mental illness—and said, “This happened because you didn’t like me enough.”
He turned a family tragedy into a victory lap.
He took a moment where any decent human being would express condolences and instead wrote a campaign speech celebrating how great his administration is.
He suggested that criticizing the President of the United States justifies violence against you.
This Is Evil
Not hyperbole. Not exaggeration. Evil.
A man was murdered. His wife was murdered. By their own child.
And the President of the United States used it as an opportunity to:
- Attack the victim
- Blame him for his own death
- Brag about himself
- Suggest that opposing Trump leads to violence
This is fascist behavior.
This is what authoritarians do. They dehumanize their critics to the point where violence against them becomes acceptable—even expected.
Even MAGA Is Horrified
You know it’s bad when Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling you out.
“Rob Reiner and his wife were tragically killed at the hands of their own son, who reportedly had drug addiction and other issues, and their remaining children are left in serious mourning and heartbreak. This is a family tragedy, not about politics or political enemies.”
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY):
“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.”
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY):
“This statement is wrong. Regardless of one’s political views, no one should be subjected to violence, let alone at the hands of their own son. It’s a horrible tragedy that should engender sympathy and compassion from everyone in our country, period.”
Even Trump supporters are saying “this is too far.”
Conservative podcaster Graham Allen: “Terrible post and I am a big Trump supporter. Take it down!”
Raheem Kassam (National Pulse): “Don’t love this, to be honest.”
Jenna Ellis (former Trump lawyer): “A man and his wife were murdered last night. This is NOT the appropriate response.”
When you’ve lost MTG, Thomas Massie, and your own base, you’ve crossed a line that shouldn’t exist.
But Here’s The Thing:
This isn’t new. This is who Trump has always been.
Everything is about him. Every tragedy is an opportunity for him to:
- Settle scores
- Attack enemies
- Brag about himself
- Play the victim
A man was murdered, and Trump made it about Trump.
Because in Trump’s world, there is no tragedy so profound, no loss so devastating, no moment so sacred that it can’t be weaponized for his ego.
Remember When:
- Hurricane Maria killed 3,000 Americans in Puerto Rico and Trump threw paper towels and complained about how it was hurting his budget?
- Gold Star families criticized him and he attacked them?
- John McCain died and Trump couldn’t stop insulting him—even at his funeral?
- COVID killed a million Americans and Trump said “it is what it is”?
- Veterans were called “suckers and losers”?
- Heather Heyer was murdered in Charlottesville and Trump said there were “very fine people on both sides”?
This is a pattern. Trump is incapable of empathy. He is incapable of seeing anyone’s pain but his own.
What Rob Reiner Actually Did:
He made great movies:
- “When Harry Met Sally”
- “The Princess Bride”
- “Stand By Me”
- “A Few Good Men”
- “This Is Spinal Tap”
He acted in “All in the Family,” playing the progressive son-in-law who challenged Archie Bunker’s bigotry.
He used his platform to fight for:
- Gay marriage
- Gun reform
- Democracy
- The rule of law
He criticized Trump. Loudly. Clearly. Consistently.
He called Trump “mentally unfit” to be president.
He warned that Trump was a threat to democracy.
And now he’s dead. Murdered by his own son in a horrific family tragedy.
And Trump’s response is: “He deserved it for criticizing me.”
To Anyone Still Defending Trump:
Picture this.
Your father is murdered. Your mother is murdered. By your brother, who’s been struggling with addiction for years.
You’re grieving. You’re in shock. You’re trying to process the unthinkable.
And then the President of the United States goes on social media and says:
“Your parents died because your father was mean to me. He caused anger in others by hating me. This is what happens when you have Trump Derangement Syndrome.”
Would you defend that?
Would you say, “Well, he’s just telling it like it is”?
Would you say, “He’s got a point”?
Or would you recognize it for what it is: sociopathic, narcissistic, evil behavior?
The Cruelty Is Always The Point
Trump doesn’t care about Rob Reiner.
He doesn’t care about Michele Reiner.
He doesn’t care about their children, who just lost both parents.
He doesn’t care about Nick Reiner, who’s sitting in jail facing murder charges for killing his own parents while battling addiction.
He cares about Donald Trump.
And if your death can be used to score political points, to attack his critics, to remind people that opposing him has consequences—he’ll do it.
This Is Stochastic Terrorism
Trump just told 70 million Americans:
“See what happens when you criticize me? Rob Reiner criticized me and look how he ended up. Dead. Murdered. And he deserved it.”
That’s a threat.
That’s the President of the United States telling anyone who opposes him: Violence against you is justified. You’re bringing it on yourself.
And the next time someone—a journalist, a politician, an activist—gets attacked or killed, Trump has already laid the groundwork:
“They caused anger in others. They had TDS. What did they expect?”
To Trump Voters Who Are Horrified By This:
I see you.
I see the Trump supporters in the comments saying “this is wrong.”
I see the Republican members of Congress pushing back.
I see the conservatives saying “I voted for him but this is too far.”
Good. You should be horrified.
Now do something about it.
Call your representatives. Demand they condemn this. Demand they stop enabling this behavior.
Because if you stay silent, if you keep supporting him after this, you’re complicit.
You’re telling the world that this is acceptable. That the President of the United States can blame murder victims for their own deaths as long as he’s on your team.
This Is Who We Elected
A man who:
- Calls women “pigs”
- Rips mothers from their newborns in the NICU
- Blames murder victims for criticizing him
- Makes every tragedy about himself
- Has no empathy, no decency, no humanity
And half the country is fine with it.
To The Reiner Family:
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry that in your darkest moment, the President of the United States attacked your loved ones.
I’m sorry that your tragedy has been weaponized for political gain.
I’m sorry that instead of sympathy, you’re getting narcissistic cruelty from the most powerful man in the world.
Rob Reiner was a great director, a great actor, and a great advocate for justice.
Michele Singer Reiner was a talented photographer and producer.
They deserved better than this.
You deserve better than this.
We all deserve better than this.
The President of the United States Just Blamed a Murder Victim For His Own Death
Because the victim criticized him.
If that doesn’t horrify you, I don’t know what will.
Donald Trump is evil.
Not incompetent. Not misguided. Not “playing 4D chess.”
Evil.
And this proves it.

Rob Reiner (March 6, 1947 – December 15, 2025)
Michele Singer Reiner (1957 – December 15, 2025)
They deserved so much better than this.
We all do.
