President Donald Trump has faced widespread criticism for a social media post made in the wake of the death of Hollywood director Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. The couple was found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home on Sunday. Law enforcement is investigating the case, with a family member reportedly being questioned. Trump's post appears to mock Reiner's death, suggesting that the director's 'massive affliction' with 'Trump Derangement Syndrome' contributed to his demise. Reiner was a longtime Democratic donor and a vocal critic of President Trump. His film credits include This Is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, and When Harry Met Sally. In a statement, Trump wrote: 'A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a 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 affliction with a mind crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.' However, other political leaders have expressed their condolences for Reiner's death, highlighting his achievements in film and television and his commitment to social causes. Former President Barack Obama paid tribute to Reiner, saying: 'Rob’s achievements in film and television gave us some of our most cherished stories on screen... He was a talented storyteller, but more than that, he was a man of deep conviction and compassion.' Reiner earned an Academy Award nomination for his courtroom drama A Few Good Men and two Emmy awards for his acting as 'Meathead' in All in the Family. He met his wife Michele on the set of When Harry Met Sally. The couple's death has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, with many paying tribute to their lives and work.
