Trump wrote that a “very sad event” took place in Hollywood, noting that the once successful and talented filmmaker had died alongside his wife, Michelle. He stated that the cause was the anger that Reiner allegedly provoked in his surroundings due to his political views.
It is noteworthy that the U.S. President's post has generated widespread reactions on social media platforms. At the same time, the information mentioned in Trump's statement has been presented as his personal claims, and the post has not been commented on by official sources.
