US EditionFinley: Reiner Comments Suggest Trump Is Losing His Grip
Nolan Finley condemns Trump's insensitive remarks on Truth Social about the Reiner family murders, calling it a failure of leadership amid a mental health crisis affecting many families.
- On Dec. 16, 2025, Detroit News columnist Nolan Finley said expecting an apology from President Donald Trump is pointless after the Reiners' murders, calling the president's response reprehensible.
- The Reiners were found Sunday when Rob Reiner, Hollywood director, and Michele Singer Reiner were fatally stabbed at their Los Angeles home, and their son Nick Reiner, 32, was arrested and will be charged with two counts of first-degree murder.
- Trump posted on Truth Social, claiming Reiner's anger stemmed from 'TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME' and doubled down when pressed by reporters Monday, drawing backlash from formerly stalwart supporters.
- The columnist argued the moment marks a new low for President Donald Trump and missed a chance to focus on America's mental-health crisis affecting thousands of American parents.
- Reactions split politically as many condemned Trump while others ignored or defended him; Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene emphasized it was a family tragedy, not politics.
