Donald Trump’s Younger Brother, Robert, Dies Aged 71 by EngrHumble(op): 12:13pm On Aug 16, 2020
Donald Trump’s younger brother Robert died
on Saturday after being hospitalized for an
undisclosed illness, the US president said in a
statement mourning his loss.
“It is with heavy heart I share that my
wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed
away tonight,” Trump said in a White House
statement.
“He was not just my brother, he was my best
friend. He will be greatly missed, but we will
meet again. His memory will live on in my
heart forever. Robert, I love you. Rest in
peace.”


The 74-year-old president had visited his
brother on Friday at a hospital in New York,
staying for about 45 minutes.
US media reports had said Robert Trump was
seriously ill, although there were no details.
Donald Trump, who was stopping in New
York on the way to his golf club in nearby
Bedminster, New Jersey for the weekend, told
reporters Friday only that “he’s having a hard
time.”.

He has previously called his brother Robert
“wonderful” and said they have “had a great
relationship for a long time, from day one.”
Media reports said Robert was 71.
“Uncle Robert, we love you. You are in our
hearts and prayers, always,” Donald Trump’s
daughter and adviser Ivanka said on Twitter.
Her brother Eric said Robert Trump would be
“deeply missed by our entire family.”
“Robert Trump was an incredible man —
strong, kind and loyal to the core. Anyone
who encountered him felt his warmth
immediately,” he said on Twitter.


Born in 1948 and the youngest of the five
Trump siblings, Robert worked on Wall Street
before joining the family real estate business.
Quieter and less famous than Donald, Robert
nevertheless became an integral part of the
Trump Organization and was fiercely loyal to
his older brother.
“I support Donald one thousand per cent,”
Robert told the New York Post in January
2016 as Donald was making his bid for the
White House.

The New York Times, however, said the two
had been estranged for years before Donald’s
run for president.


– ‘Great relationship’ –


The brothers were very different, and the
brash Donald once described Robert as “soft-
spoken and easygoing.”

“I think it must be hard to have me for a
brother, but he’s never said anything about it
and we’re very close. He is definitely the only
guy in my life whom I ever call ‘honey.’,”
Donald said in his 1987 bestseller “The Art of
the Deal.”

While usually avoiding the limelight, earlier
this year Robert unsuccessfully tried to block
publication of a book by his niece Mary
Trump, arguing that she was violating a non-
disclosure agreement signed in 2001 after the
settlement of her grandfather’s estate.
The book, “Too Much and Never Enough:
How My Family Created the World’s Most
Dangerous Man,” paints Donald Trump as the
product of a “toxic” family.

“Her attempt to sensationalize and
mischaracterize our family relationship after
all of these years for her own financial gain is
both a travesty and injustice to the memory
of my late brother, Fred, and our beloved
parents,” Robert said in a statement to the
New York Times.

“I and the rest of my entire family are so
proud of my wonderful brother, the president,
and feel that Mary’s actions are truly a
disgrace.”

Although a temporary restraining order was
applied, a judge lifted it in July, allowing
publication.

Mary was the daughter of the eldest Trump
brother Fred Trump Jr, who died of
alcoholism in 1981.
Robert divorced his long-time wife Blaine in
2009 and in March this year married Ann
Marie Pallan, a Trump Organization employee,
the New York Post reported.


Before Robert’s death, the coupley had been
living a quiet life at their home in Millbrook, in
the Hudson Valley, media reports said.
Paying tribute to Robert, former New York
mayor Rudy Giuliani, now the president’s
personal lawyer, said he had “a big heart.”
“As a former Mayor I know how much he did
to help New Yorkers in need. We have lost a
really good man. My love, prayers and
condolences to the Trump family,” he
tweeted.

Well, that is to tell you the ways of God are different from that of men.

The next "wrong" person will still get it soon, while your "right" person remains in Aso Rock.
