(12,586 posts)There is no mention of how Robert had predicted his brother would one day be one of the greatest -- if not the greatest -- presidents.
There is no mention of how much Robert admired his brother.
He doesn't offer sympathy to Robert's wife, Ann Marie Pallan.
He doesn't call Robert a cute name, like "Dumbo-Bob."
Here's what Mary Trump wrote in her book about the relationship between the two brothers:
Donald had discovered early on how easy it was to get under Roberts pale skin and push him past his limits; it was a game he never tired of playing, Mary Trump wrote. Nobody else would have bothered Robert was so skinny and quiet that there was no sport in tormenting him.
Robert's lucky that his hospital was located between the WH and the golf club, so Trump could drop by enroute the the country club mini-rally and say goodbye.
Of course, knowing Trump that last statement could be a lie to make himself look good.
