President Trump reacted Monday morning to one of the most disturbing stories to come out of Hollywood in years, the brutal murder of director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele, inside their Brentwood mansion. Police arrested the couple’s son, Nick Reiner, who allegedly slashed his parents’ throats in what investigators describe as a horrifying domestic crime.

According to reports from the New York Post, Nick Reiner had a long history of drug addiction and a reputation for violent behavior. Page Six added another grim layer, reporting that Nick “really resented his dad.” TMZ confirmed that the couple’s daughter, Romy Reiner, was the one who discovered the bodies inside the Los Angeles home. It is the kind of story that leaves people stunned, sickened, and asking how something this awful could happen behind the gates of elite Hollywood.

President Trump, however, did not respond with the carefully sanitized language the media prefers. He went straight at Rob Reiner, a man who spent years publicly attacking Trump, questioning his mental fitness, and pushing the now discredited Russia collusion conspiracy. On Truth Social, President Trump called the situation “a very sad thing,” but then unloaded on Reiner’s decades long obsession with him, attributing it to what he described as Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Trump referred to Reiner as “tortured and struggling” and said his “raging obsession” with Trump drove people crazy as the Trump administration surpassed expectations and ushered in what he called a Golden Age of America. He ended by saying, “May Rob and Michele rest in peace!” which did little to calm the predictable media eruption that followed.

CNN immediately went into outrage mode. Jake Tapper criticized President Trump, while Brian Stelter labeled the post “crude” and “crass,” suggesting Trump had implied Reiner somehow died because of his hatred for Trump. Stelter added that he hoped the post would not get “too much attention,” which is always a strange thing to say while discussing it on national television.

CBS reporter Scott MacFarlane joined the pile on by amplifying criticism from a disgruntled former Justice Department official, as if that somehow represented the national conscience.

Rob Reiner spent years attacking President Trump personally, relentlessly, and viciously. When tragedy struck his family, President Trump did not rewrite that history. He acknowledged the deaths, expressed condolences, and reminded the public of the toxic political culture Reiner helped fuel.

The crime itself is horrific and tragic, especially for the surviving family members. But the media’s sudden demand for decorum rings hollow coming from outlets that spent years cheering, mocking, and dehumanizing President Trump and his supporters.

Hollywood loves to dish it out. On Monday morning, they just did not like getting a dose back.
