  • "Never Enough: Donald Trump and the Pursuit of Success" author Michael D'Antonio came by earlier this year to talk about Fred Trump Jr. After winning the New Hampshire primary, Donald Trump thanked his late brother Fred. According to D'Antonio, Fred didn’t care for the family business and followed his own path. Fred Jr. would eventually pass away from complications related to alcoholism. Years later, a legal battle ensued between Fred Jr.’s son and the Trump estate.

    What a terrible mischaracterisation of Donald's relationship with his brother. You should be ashamed of accusing him like this. Donald only ever spoke good about his late brother, and the lesson he took from him is LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE. Don't drink alcohol, smoke or do drugs - sadly Fred did and ended up dying young.

    I have a little brother who is competitive and ambitious, however I see it as being something good, even when he's mocking me. It demonstrates that he's gonna be a healthy and independent person! This is the same way Fred Jr looked at Donald.

    Donald Trump went to the movies the night his brother Freddy lay dying in the hospital. And Donald knew he was dying. No one in the Trump family went to see Freddy, to be with him, or to sit by his bedside. Instead, they just waited for the phone call from the hospital staff to say he was dead. WTH!! Who does that? The Trumps, that's who.

    This is a nasty hit job from a guy who never knew the Trumps. Donald was 8 years younger than Fred Jr. and Fred died at age 42, which means Donald was 34. He loved his brother. His brother told him that if he started to smoke, drink and take drugs he would kill him. Donald never smoked, drank or took drugs. End of Story. Fred was an alcoholic and a drug addict. Those two things combined are very hard to overcome, especially if one isn't getting professional and good help. It's also a spiritual battle from within your soul. If you don't improve you spiritual relationship with God, you won't get better.
