1. The rest of the family saw him as a failure

and looked down on his service. Poor Freddy. He deserved a better family.

It is so great that despite all the turmoil his children loved him.

4. He's the real winner ... because he does have love

From his daughter and probably others who knew and remember him.

6. Good point. He actually had love and people who still love him. Trump will NEVER

have that. His kids don't love him either and are only waiting for him to die so they can get money.

14. How must it feel to know that never in his life did anyone smile when he came into a room

Part of me feels bad for him. He can’t help what mental disability he was born with and the father he was born to.

On the other hand.... I don’t really care. Do you?

2. So there was a trump in the military. RT.. TY

[Hekate]

3. That's a sweet picture of the two of them

5. Given that he declined going into the family business, became a pilot, and served

in some capacity however minor, it is a damned shame he died so soon. Not that he was good, per se, just the least bad of a very bad lot.

9. Some families have white sheeps

Just like other families have black sheeps lol

13. You obviously didn't read Mary Trump's book

Her father, Freddy, was a decent, educated and good man who couldn’t cope with his father’s demands. He was a pilot and very popular with his friends. But his father humiliated him constantly for not being just as mean as he was. Donald saw that and became what he is today.

7. Loser.

Using Donald's metrics, anyway.

[Bettie]

8. Wow, he's got an actual, genuine smile

not the mouth only "smile" the others use. It is real.

10. yip

11. Seems like the Dump clan drove the only decent one to alcoholism

How could anyone with a soul be in that toxic family and not drink themselves to death?

[smirkymonkey]

12. +1000

Very sad. It seems like he was the only decent human being in that family and it killed him. I am glad that his daughter is telling the truth about the family who destroyed him.
