A brothers love is no joke man
I wish I had a lil bro man, I would teach him so many things about what to do and what not to do at an early age... I swear. If I would ever have kids, I want at least 3. Nothing compared to brother to brother love
Man this comment made me tear up...so true
LMAO LOOK UP HIS NEPHEW!!!!!!
Don't care for him being the president but what he is saying is true I agree with him that's it
Trump wonders why his brother was drunk... He should look in a mirror.
If he’s right about the small things, he may be right about the big things.
Trumps Bunker WOW
You should read his nieces book about him.
@@bobfudge7964 joke why he lost
I just lost my father to alcoholism a week and a half ago. He was only 60. I'm only 24. I've never had a drink or a cigarette in my life, nor drugs, because of it. I can relate so much. This gives me comfort.
It’s been two years since this comment so you are probably doing better now but it is good that you have never had a drink before.
@@emielvanderwel5200 thank you so much. Sorry this is such a late comment. I appreciate the support.
God bless you and your family!!
@@AndreaVirago thank you!!
@@lindseymattson7700 absolutely no problem ❤
Not a fan of Trump but I have to agree 100% with what he said here.
i was gonna say the same thing
I think it’s a bit simplistic to be honest. Look I get where he’s coming from and I actually think he’s being quite genuine for once. But this supposes that anyone who ever drinks is on a pathway to having a drink problem. Plus hang on? He owns a winery and a vineyard on the east coast
@@davidfoxall3344 I guess your brain just couldn't compute empathizing with Trump so you just _had_ to be so nitpicky lol. Wonder why you would come back to this unpopular (ie not trending) video, years after the fact, just to post this... Anyways, it's an event about opioid addiction and he is using his brother's example to illustrate the point. At the end of the speech he just says "don't do drugs", old advice that people usually take to mean don't to take hard drugs. Nothing alcohol specific in that advice.
Shafer Hart - “I get where he’s coming from and I think he’s being quite genuine for once”. No empathy there whatsoever. My point is considering he owns a business based on selling alcohol it’s quite simplistic for him to take this absolutist view towards alcohol. I have no doubt that his own abstinence from drink is a result of watching what it did to his brother I just don’t particularly agree with his message on the subject even though as I’ve stated I do get why he feels the way he does.
The difference in terms of addiction and effects from alcohol to other narcotics is probably not as large as you think. Alcohol is just a legal drug at the end of the day.....and either you ban alcohol like in prohibition times or you perhaps realise that the say no to drugs message is a bit confused (and that’s not particular to Trump, it’s every politician and there are numerous ones who have ever pushed this message)
I may not like Trump, but one thing I don't doubt was how he was affected by his brother's alcoholism.
These are crocodile tears. He didn't care. As his niece who saw it happen.
@Bred Wyuh Ever heard about all the felons he has as associates? Don't think so. You probably watch Fakes, I mean Fos, no I was right the first time News.
@Bred Wyuh Ever heard about Pence's aid who quit in disgust. She heard him call the people at his rallies "disgusting." don't think so. Which are you - a loser, a sucker or disgusting?
@@markkelly3859 - Before you go around saying things, make sure you can substantiate your claims. Else, you are gossiping. Nobody can stand a gossiper.
@Mary J The only reason you don't know the facts is because you listen to heavly censored news sjources. If you had the guts to go outside your little universe you would find there are many many facts to support what I say. too bad yo are afraid of truth.
Sincere, from the heart. I wish he would speak like this all the time. Just needs to stop tweeting nonsense
Robert Baratheon agree
Agreed.
yoholo ho you're right. I cannot comprehend covfefe, perhaps you can help us all understand.
#NEVEREVERTHREATENTheUnitedStates!!!!
Yeah, Ik this is pretty late but Trump’s a good guy at heart, he just needs to get off of Twitter and be less compulsive, I’m sure he’d be much less hated then
Once in a while i come back to this video and it gives me hope
Here I am again. I stopped drinking 2 months ago and I feel great
well done mate .. I am so proud of you
@@sdash6242 thanks brother alcohol is for me the past. Hope you doing well as well.
He had a great big brother
Beth Rebstock Fred died of alcoholism and Trump cut his severely-handicapped grandchild off the family insurance plan. Nice, huh? He even promised his father he would obey him and never do that.
MeltedPearls I'm sure he had his reasons. I've seen addiction first hand with a family member so I don't need a lecture. Thank
Trump had a family fortune in the millions that was split up with his siblings including his deceased brother's family after his father's passing. Trump took his share and became a billionaire expanding the family real estate brand - he even helped Fred's family but they got jealous of his success and tried to sue him for cut in his real estate empire and he was having none of it. Much worse happens in families that are not in the 1% class.
Sam195 losing Fred was like losing the world. He remembers throwing ball with Fred as a child now he remembers only his faults
His freakin brother was an alcoholic.
That's a good older brother, really set his brother up
Well not really most of the time younger sibling do what they see their older brothers do, they want to be like them. Luckily Trump was smart enough to pay attention to the example he was making rather than what he was saying. Regardless for some reason I feel really bad for this Fred Trump guy even though I’ve never met him, I feel like it’s such a tragic story of a man that wasted so much potential.
Probably the only speech I've actually agreed with from this man. He's spot on here
Only speech you’ve listened to un edited my man. Not tryna b disrespectful but trump fans know he’s always like this, the media cuts bits n pieces of his speech to make him look bad...been doin it for years, but I implore you to watch his Mount Rushmore speech for example :) god bless
REALLY THEN YOU NEED TO TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT YOURSELF
@@yungking2148 Nah, he's a lying POS that just got indicted for 34 felonies
144 claimed by the ONEEEE THANKS FOR THE ACCOMMODATION UNIVERSE!!!!!AM THE GREATEST CHARACTER OF ALL TIME
IDC ABOUT BEING JUDGED BY THESE CHARACTERS I JUDGE AM THE BEST AM THE GREATEST AHHHHHHHHHHHH *rips all apart*
Currently struggling with alcohol every time I feel down and out I watch this and it gives me goosebumps, I have two little brother ten years younger I hope I can be the one to say “don’t drink”
Hope you are doing better now
You got this buddy! I almost died from alcohol this year! I'm 39. I have been sober for 7 months now. I workout and run, going to college. Life is good if you put down the bottle!
Allen Carr the Easyway to quit ❤
You want your brothers to pimp out your memory? That is what Trump is doing to his brother.
I also have siblings and friends who went through some difficult things. I *could* make myself sound more interesting by sharing *their* struggles with others, but, if you actually care about someone, you instinctively avoid this or are very careful with how you share these things. All Fred is to Donald is "my alcoholic older brother." Everything else he says about Fred is vague as all get out ("best looking guy") and is only said to meet the minimum that is socially expected.
Much better for you to just quit, adjust to life without alcohol (it'll happen naturally over time), don't make a big deal out of it, and don't associate with people who want to dramatize it. Definitely don't record your "sobriety date." Dramatizing it like this will only solidify your identity as "an alcoholic" or "in recovery." It'll also create a dynamic in which any relapse can demoralize you because "I lost all my clean time." (If you drank last week but abstained for 6 months before that, you are still *much* better off that you were 6 months ago.)
You can see tears in his eyes when he talks about his brother
He tormented Fred then stole Fred’s kid’s inheritance. Screw him.
Trump needed an endearing story to appeal to voters. That's all this is @alyciacooper2 .
I’ll admit i drink now and then but I have never once touched a cigarette, POTUS is right, it’s better to never start at all then to have to quit
right choice mate, i’m 17 now and been addicted to nicotine since i was 13, longest i went off it was three months when i was 15 and haven’t made it longer then a few days since then. i don’t vape or smoke anymore and use nic pouches instead but i still am heavily addicted to them
When President Trump shares his personal experiences, that is when he is the most influential. God bless him and keep the full armor of truth around him to protect him.
This is the compassionate and human side of Trump they don't want you to see. Let's get this clip trending again before November.
There is no compassionate side to Trump. He has zero empathy. He is a narcissist. This brother he is talking about is the same one he took advantage of to weasel him out of inheritance as well as gain a favoured position in the family business and thereby gain more wealth. This whole narrative of caring about his brother is totally false. Read Mary Trumps book.Everything he does is part of a carefully crafted act to fool people like you into putting their misguided faith in him so that he can ultimately destroy the checks and balances in American democracy and take away the rights and freedoms it provides for the sake of acquiring more power to secure himself more wealth.
Every young American needs to see this!!!!
Not just american, but all youth from around the world
I can’t stand Trump. But my heart is with him in this particular subject
I'm an alcoholic and I tell people dont start ever it's not worth it people.need to spread this word
having suffered it an ending with pancreatitis,i understand how strong the addiction is,all the best
The prophet Muhammad peacr be upon him described drinking as a big sin. Pkease give it up and please read the Qur'an
My dad struggled with this his entire life until he passed. I also have a few siblings sadly following in the same direction. I chose not to even start..never tried a beer and I’m 50 years old. I have no shame or regret!
You can see deep emotion here. V sad.
Great message though.
This man can bring good out of the darkest, the worst of things.
He is 100% genuine on this, I found it moving.
I hope the message hit home with as many as possible who may be struggling and even better, just don't start!
It's becoming more n more common these days not to drink. It's most widely available abused drug.
My first time to take trump seriously. I wish he could speak like this all the time rather than the constant tweeting.
President Donald Trump 🇺🇸 Speaks his Mind much Respect to him for that! 👌
Man you could feel some of the pain in trump’s voice
He had a couple tears in his eyes…rarely see Trump like this…
Fred was A Great Guy..R.I.P..
I disagree with him for a lot of things politically but I love this for him and wish he promoted it more frequently
He’s right and I respect him for what he’s saying here
Gran mensaje 👏👏👏
If Trump could have more moments like this we would be fine. He actually seems like a human being here
Yu Toob yeah but then he'd have to stop being prejudice
Hahaha!
@@DDD033 hes not prejudiced. Cages were by obama
I had a brother Fred, great guy, best looking guy, best personalityーmuch better than mine. But he had a problem. He had a problem with alcohol, and he would tell me, "Don't drink. Don't drink".
He was substantially older and I listened to him and I respected, but he would constantly tell me "Don't drink", he would also add "Don't smoke". He would say it over and over and over again.
And to this day I have never had drink, and I have no longing for it, I have no interested in it. To this day I have never had a cigarette. Don't worry those are only two of my good things. I don't wanna tell you about bad things, there's plenty of bad things too.
But he really helped me, I had somebody that guided me, and he had a very, very, tough life because of alcohol. Believe me. Very very tough tough life. He was a strong guy but it was a tough, tough thing that he was going through.
But I learned because of Fred, I learned. And that's what I think is so important. This was an idea that I had, where if we can teach young people not to take drugs. Just not to take them!
When I see friends of mine that are having difficulty with not having that drink at dinner, where it's literally almost impossible for them to stop. I say to myselfーI can't even understand itーwhy would that be difficult? But we understand why it's difficult.
The fact is, if we can teach young people and people generally not to start, It's really, really easy to not take them. And I think that's going to end up being our most important thing. Really tough, really big, really great advertising. So we get to people before they start, so they don't go through the problems of what people are going through.
This is a great speech
I dont drink or smoke- and it's so true!! Life is rewarding without it,however I've seen it destroy amazing people!!
My favorite President
That is insanely great speech 💬 thats fantastic
С Кевином набухался б в плазе! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For those who think this guy had an easy life....remember everyone has problems. He had successful career unlike many other rich kids n controlled his habits
Wow. Always told he’s much more human of what media wanna show us. Good speech
Such honestly and self depracating too. Crazy liberals are so wrong about him.
Trump is being genuine this time in his whole life.
I love this man and he leads by example. Trump 2020
Scott Davis
Leads by example? Like the fact he bragged about owning his own brand winery? Lol
leads by example? like when he tells an American war hero he "likes people who don't get captured" but I forget he has bone spurs
2020 trump train. Ya boi
Haha! He lost!
Words of wisdom from Mr Trump.
Thank you President Trump for raising awareness about addiction. Your brother would be very proud of you!
Good advice.
Lmao some people just want to hate. How can you dis like this video?
None of us are superman
'Not to take' that is the best way to prevent from bad things
What a wisdom ❤
Fred sounds like a truthful man despite of his shortcomings
Wait did Trump say something that completely reasonable?
Andrew Woodward No.
the article also has some cherry parts missing...
He always is. You watch too much CNN
@@UltraGamma25 true
Most compassionate I've seen of DJT.
The Gospel of salvation: 💜💕💜💖💞💜💕For what I received I passed on to you as of [first importance]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time,
about the best thing ive heard him say
Appriciate you John
I just can’t understand why young people start drinking and smoking at all since they have a lot of information and can see all the damage it does but as long as these products are made available: people will use them.
Ya, they live for the moment, not think long term. If you ask a 60 year old, what he would differentiate if he were young again? They would say, saved more money💴, never started drinking🍺, never started using drugs🌿 & never started smoking cigarettes🚬. It's not like they never did these things & wish they started earlier like everyone else did. Kids do yourself a big favor & never start these bad habits, your body & bank account will thank you when you reach retirement age👍
Depression, it is a high
@@timelessmusicfamilymusic9175 good message
Trump doesn't sound like himself in this clip. I actually like him in this one, and only in this one. This is really solid.
when you speak with love...he loved his brother
regardless of the viewpoint of a commoner like you and me, he is great. Voting Biden was my biggest mistake
This guy is strong!
I love what he said. So true
Nobody can deny what he has said
That is absolute truth and fact
And I never ever do drugs and beer
Thank you trump
Whoa, I actually agree with him for once. He seems like a normal, right minded decent human being in this video. What is going on here?
He had a good loving relationship with his brother and learned from him. I think.
hes always been like this. unfortunately, the media has twisted everything he's said
Igual 48 años y sin vicios. Mi bro murio por problemas de vicios.
I went to dinner last night. I had 2 drinks and I drove home. It was not a problem for me to stop at two drinks or drive home.
Such a great speech! I agree with it completely!
well this is awkward
Not a personal fan of Trump in general but this was sad. All the $ in the world can’t lessen the blow of an addicted family member 😿
The only time I’ve ever seen Trump be sincere.
If you are gonna drink. Drink at parties or at hangouts do it recreationally. I never understood why people sit alone in there house being depressed drinking away problems.
It doesnt start out that way. It progresses to that. Im a recovering alcoholic.
I have social anxiety. Going out and being around others can be difficult and always leads to some sort of trouble. So i rather drink alone, which you're right, is not good either. Just wanted to give my input on the reasoning.
Trump is far from perfect and he may not have a great personality but the hate toward him is unreal.
Trump is very self deprecating. That says alot about ones personality. The only sort of self deprecating we got from Obama was his ears &his name. He took himself way too seriously
Trump acknowledging that there is someone with a much better personality than his is quite rare
yea, good but without alcohol the girls would not stay at my place till 3 AM or over night.
wow..agree with him 100% on this one..
I love trump ..I struggle w alcohol
Definitely correct. A sturdy message for the young people in the world.
Liquor is used for meat dishes. Liquor puts the thinking power to sleep...
I agree with him, when I was little my uncle was an alcoholic we lived in the same house
I saw all the problems that alcoholism caused in my home and family
Today I'm almost 30 years old and I hate alcohol, I've never drunk, I've never smoked.
I hate with all my strength
And I can't relate to someone who has these addictions
Fred could of flown Air Force One.
sadly, Hollywood celebrities, the music industry, and movies glorify drugs and alcohol. That is where the product placement is being done and is of the most influence.
Niki Ballou Sadly that guy standing in front of you with that 24 pack at the grocery store is more of an influence than a movie. Children learn what they live. Stop blaming hollywood for bad behavior, how about some personal respondiblity.
Este hombre tiene toda cosa buena en el. Estamina, gait, buenisimo sentido del humor, inteligencia. exitos. Me pregunnto si tiene algo malo.
i agree but i still am conceited and want my marijuana
彼の英語はとてもわかり易いです。少なくともその点は評価される。
Once you start and you get used to binge drinking on alcohol, it gets to the point where you can't say no. You might be able to stay off it for a few days or a few weeks but once you start again, you can't stop until you force yourself too.
Trump doesn't drink nor smoke and that's good healthwise
Trump❤
Idk, u telling me he never had a little bit of scotch ever or a cigar lol
My grandpa Don Allen Kothera built with volunteers ground up AA in Las Vegas NV

Where did this come from? He even belittled himself just a bit. He spoke as if he has feelings? I’m amazed. I wish he would speak more like this, from the heart.
He belittles himself and makes jokes at his own expense all the time (they are quite funny too!). If you watched his speeches instead of just cable news clips of the speeches you'll know this.
If you actually listened to any of his speeches, unedited, you wouldn't be surprised. The media just twists everything he says.
Everytime he jokes about himself the media takes it seriously like "look! He even admits it!"
You obviously don't know anything about him lmao
Even the nastiest people have soft spots. This is one of his we know about.
I don't agree with him always, but what he just said makes perfect sense.
So true. It's a struggle once you start.
I agree.
MAGA 2020
Well said Donald.
This video made me quit smoking anddrinking for good.
His brother was a pilot for TWA wonder how much drinking he was doing back then? I would bet lot of pilots drank lot less regulation
Bless him
The 53 dislikes???!?! Like really! You can’t even agree with this
“Heavenly Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen"
Currently my 4th year trapped in the hole
saying that ciggies, alcohol & drugs should be legal and unregulated (except no DUI or public intoxication) doesn’t mean that you should do them; how does the Left not get this?
Honesty is rare if not extinct in D.C.
That’s why Trump ripped Fred’s kids off. 🙄
I wasn't a fan of trump, but this speech is touching.
I love our President because he actually cares about us like we are his family.
I know what's like to be addicted to booze, and for whatever reason, the booze does indeed make you want to smoke, they reinforce each other.
