《怦然心动》导演遇害，遭特朗普嘲讽

US President Donald Trump mocked Rob Reiner in a social media post on Monday, suggesting the slain actor and director died because of his anti-Trump views — a remark that triggered swift and bipartisan backlash for injecting politics into a family tragedy.

A vocal Democratic activist, Reiner, 78, and his wife Michele, 70, were found dead in their home on Sunday. Their son Nick Reiner was arrested on homicide charges. Police have yet to ascribe a motive.

Reiner told Variety in 2017 during Trump's first term that Trump was "mentally unfit" and called him "the single most unqualified human being to ever assume the presidency of the United States".

In a post on Truth Social, Trump referred to Rob Reiner as "tortured and struggling" and said Reiner and his wife had passed away "reportedly due to the anger he caused" by opposing the Republican president.

Trump's comments on Monday drew criticism from across the political spectrum. 

The Democratic Party called Trump's post "heartless".

"Regardless of how you felt about Rob Reiner, this is inappropriate and disrespectful discourse about a man who was just brutally murdered," wrote Republican US Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky.

"I was not a fan of Rob Reiner at all in any way, shape or form," Trump said. "I thought he was very bad for our country."
