and became an airline pilot instead. He also became an alcoholic, probably at least in part due to his father's relentless demands and his disappointment that Fred Jr. didn't want to join the family business. He died at the age of 43, leaving two children, whom Fred Sr. disinherited in a will that DJT helped draft. Trump also cut off benefits from the family health plan that were paying for the medical care of Fred Jr's young son William, who has cerebral palsy. This was apparently in retribution for Fred Jr.'s son Fred III filing a lawsuit challenging Fred Sr.'s will, which he claimed was the product of undue influence. &quot Donald) Trump, for his part, was unapologetic about his actions. “Why should we give him medical coverage?” he told Evans. When she asked him if he thought he might come across as cold-hearted, given the baby’s medical condition, he said, “I can’t help that. It’s cold when someone sues my father. Had he come to see me, things could very possibly have been much different for them.”" https://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/what-sort-of-man-is-donald-trump
