Trump’s link to Rob Reiner’s wife revealed: LIVE

Rob Reiner’s wife, Michele Singer, was a photographer who captured the cover image of Donald Trump used on his book, Trump: The Art of the Deal.

Trump co-wrote the book with Tony Schwartz, detailing his real estate career, business philosophy and negotiating tactics.

After the news of the couple’s death broke, the president claimed they died because of ‘Trump Derangement Syndrome.’

The president said that Reiner, a ‘once very talented movie director and comedy star,’ had passed away ‘reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind crippling disease’ known as TDS – or Trump Derangement Syndrome.

TDS, those on the right explain, is a disease of hatred or unreasonable disdain of the Republican president, a joke-turned-diagnosis that’s so notorious that members of Congress have introduced legislation to study the affliction.

‘He was known to have driven people CRAZY by his raging obsession of President Donald J. Trump, with his obvious paranoia reaching new heights as the Trump Administration surpassed all goals and expectations of greatness,’ the president’s post continued.

The actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer, were found dead inside their Los Angeles home on Sunday, with police arresting their son Nick in connection with their deaths.

The 32-year-old, the couple’s youngest son, was arrested Sunday night before being booked for felony murder Monday morning. He is being held on a $4 million bail bond, Los Angeles Sheriff’s records show.

Hollywood actor and director Reiner, 78, and his wife, who was 68, were found in their $13.5million home and had sustained fatal knife wounds, according to sources.

The actor and director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer, were found dead inside their Los Angeles home on Sunday, with police arresting their son Nick in connection with their deaths.

The 32-year-old, the couple’s youngest son, was arrested Sunday night before being booked for felony murder Monday morning. He is being held on a $4 million bail bond, Los Angeles Sheriff’s records show.

Nick worked as a screenwriter and co-wrote Being Charlie, a semi-autobiographical film about drug addiction and the impact it has on families, which his father directed.

He has publicly shared his years-long battle with drug addiction, which started when he was a teenager and saw him go to rehab aged 15, and the difficult relationship it fostered with his father.

In a 2016 interview with the BUILD series while promoting their film, Nick said that he ‘didn’t bond’ well with his father when he was younger, and that working on Being Charlie ‘made me feel closer to him.’

He said at the time of Being Charlie’s release that he hoped to stay off drugs so that he would never be homeless again: ‘When I was out there, I could’ve died. It’s all luck. You roll the dice and you hope you make it’.

His parents expressed regret at how they had dealt with their son’s addiction during a 2015 interview with the LA Times alongside Nick and their other children.

Rob Reiner made his final public appearance with his wife, Michele, and their three children at the premiere of his movie Spinal Tap II in Los Angeles on September 9.

Rob and Michele, along with daughter Romy, sons Nick and Jake, and Jake’s wife, posed for a photo on the red carpet.

New Girl star Zooey Deschanel posted a heartfelt tribute to Rob Reiner, who played her father on the hit TV show.

‘My heart is broken. Rob Reiner was the absolute warmest, funniest, most generous of spirits. A truly good human being. An incredible artist and such a playful and fun collaborator. I cherish the time we spent working together and the many films he made that have shaped who I am,’ she wrote on Instagram.

‘Rob and his lovely wife Michele were always so kind and it brought me so much joy any time I was lucky enough to see them.

‘I’m absolutely devastated. Sending so much love to their family and friends.’

Maria Shriver, journalist and ex-wife of Arnold Schwarzenegger, gave her condolences to the Reiner family in a lengthy social media post.

‘I loved Michele and Rob Reiner. They were among my closest friends. We raised our kids together, from mommy and me on up. We laughed together, we cried together, we played together, we dreamed together. We had dinner this past week, and they were in the best place in the their lives: loving one another, loving their friends, their family, their country. They never gave up on our country. They wanted to make it better. They always, always wanted to make our world better, and they were willing to fight to make it the country they loved,’ she wrote.

‘I loved them, and I knew they loved me, for any friend like that is such a gift. They gave me and all their friends that gift all the time. They loved their kids so much, and they never stopped trying to be really good parents. My love is with their family. I’m so sad for them. I’m devastated, gutted, shocked, stunned, and so deeply saddened, as are all of the people who loved them and who they loved. I hope people remember them as two deeply talented, kind, fun, loving, good, patriotic people who loved each other deeply.

Shriver added, ‘I’ll miss you, Michele. I’ll miss you, Rob. I love you both. Thank you for your friendship. God bless you both. Life will not be the same without you here, that’s for sure.’

Sir Paul McCartney, who had a role in Rob Reiner’s latest film, posted a heartful tribute for the director.

‘What a tragedy the death of Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, is. It is so shocking in many ways but for me especially so, because over the last year I had been working with him. He directed me in “Spinal Tap II: The End Continues.” He was such an upbeat, lovable man,’ McCartney wrote.

Life can be so unfair and this tragedy proves it. His father, Carl Reiner, was a great humorist before him and Rob followed in his dad’s footsteps doing a terrific job making many great films. I will always have fond memories of Rob and the idea that he and his wife will no longer be in the world with us is heartbreaking.

Rob Reiner had booked a massage on the day he and his wife died but did not answer the door, prompting the couple’s daughter to go into their home where she discovered that they had been knifed to death, sources have told the Daily Mail.

The couple’s son, Nick, reportedly had an explosive row with his parents at Conan O’Brien’s holiday party hours before, and the 32-year-old has now been arrested and booked for felony murder.

A source has told the Mail that a masseuse came to Reiner’s home at 2pm Sunday to help him and his wife de-stress. She rang the bell, knocked a number of times, and left when no one answered.

This prompted the couple’s daughter Romy, who lives across the road, to go over to her parents’ home, where she made the horrifying discovery that they had been slain.

Biden took to X to express his condolences for the tragic loss of Rob and Michele on Monday.

‘We take solace in knowing their work will live on for generations to come,’ he wrote.

Rob Reiner first emerged as an actor and is best known for his role as Michael ‘Meathead’ Stivic on All In The Family.

He won two Emmy Awards and was nominated for five Golden Globes during his stint on the series from 1971 to 1978.
