Robert Trump, the president's younger brother, dead at 71

[yuiyoshida]

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump’s younger brother, Robert Trump, a businessman known for an even keel that seemed almost incompatible with the family name, died Saturday night after being hospitalized in New York, the president said in a statement. He was 71.
The president visited his brother at a New York City hospital on Friday after White House officials said he had become seriously ill.

The youngest of the Trump siblings remained close to the 74-year-old president and, as recently as June, filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Trump family that unsuccessfully sought to stop publication of a tell-all book by the president’s niece, Mary.

Robert Trump had reportedly been hospitalized in the intensive care unit for several days that same month .

Both longtime businessmen, Robert and Donald had strikingly different personalities. Donald Trump once described his younger brother as “much quieter and easygoing than I am,” and “the only guy in my life whom I ever call ‘honey.’”

3. I don't dance on graves

I had a less than admirable brother who died. It was not the time for grave dancing.
There are plenty of reasons to not vote for Donald. It would be foolish to dance on this particular grave.
In the words of the Beatles, let it be.

4. There was nothing said but ...

I wonder if he contracted COVID 19...wouldn't that embarrass Trump if that were true.

23. Probably not COVID. I doubt they'd let Chump in to see him

if so. More likely it's related to the neurological problems he's had recently <just a guess, tho>.

9. nope--that shit, Bobby Trump, helped create this

the Unabomber's brother turned him in.

Robert Trump tries to protect this traitor at every turn.

Fuck him. I spit on his grave.

11. Curious to see if Trump uses this in some way.

A humanizing factor as it were.

13. all I know is Trump, in a black mask, goes to see his brother

and then later that day his brother is dead.

16. Some people, many people are saying... nt

[Jspur]

14. I can see him using it to his

advantage. He'll say something like this during the debates "My heart goes out to the families who have lost loved ones to this horrible virus. I have also felt the pain with this virus taking out my younger brother so I know of all the pain these families are going through. Trust me there is no one out there who would like more to see this pandemic end and I will end it believe me I will."

17. My first thought was how is trump going to use this for

himself?

[SiliconValley_Dem]

18. he literally would never utter those words

he'd say grown ass doctors who never cried even when they were babies had tears and were crying as they said, "Sir, you were the best brother of all time. We've never seen such a strong leader handle someone close to them dying like you do! Please get elected again and build that wall!"

20. Don't see how he can, he spent today golfing... True concern there.

He never thinks of humanizing himself. His handlers try to, but it always falls short because trump is a monster.

15. E.T.T.D.

What is donnie's tee time tomorrow?
