How did Trump politicise the murder of Rob Reiner, a Hollywood icon?

Members of the so-called Turtle Island Liberation Front have been charged with plotting to bomb multiple targets in California on New Year’s Eve.

But who are they, and why has no one ever heard of them before now?

Elsewhere, after legendary film director Rob Reiner and his wife are brutally murdered at their home over the weekend, the president writes online… not a message of condolence, but an attack on the man who’d just lost his life. 

It goes down like a cup of cold sick with both the right and the left. Why did the president politicise this murder?

And a blockbuster UK-US trade deal appears to stall. Or has it?
