Photographer Michele Singer Reiner and her husband Rob Reiner were tragically found dead in their Los Angeles home. Michele is known for taking the iconic photo featured on the cover of President Donald Trump’s 1987 book, “The Art of the Deal.”
In a 2017 episode of Politico’s “Off Message” podcast, Rob Reiner shared a story about Trump during the photoshoot for the book cover. He mentioned how Trump’s larger-than-life persona and charisma made him a captivating figure.
Reiner highlighted Trump’s charm as a factor in his political success, emphasizing the importance of such qualities in connecting with audiences. When asked about the hairspray Trump insisted on using during the shoot, Reiner humorously speculated that it might still be in place, joking about Trump never washing it off.
Despite their political differences, Reiner praised Trump’s ability to engage certain audiences effectively. However, Trump’s controversial reaction to Reiner’s passing on his Truth Social platform drew criticism from both sides of the political spectrum.
Reiner, a vocal critic of Trump, had previously called him “mentally unfit” for office. Trump’s divisive post following Reiner’s death further fueled the ongoing debate over his conduct and rhetoric.
