Fred Trump III, the nephew of former President Donald Trump, said his uncle is "atomic crazy," that he witnessed him using racial slurs decades ago -- and that he plans to vote for Kamala Harris.

The Trump way was to be "complex and sometimes cruel," Fred Trump said in an interview with ABC News' Aaron Katersky.

"And within every family -- people know this -- families are complicated. Every family has their crazy uncle. My Uncle Donald is atomic crazy. And … he has put his mark on the family history," he said, as he promoted his new book, "All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way."

... A Trump campaign spokesperson called the claims "completely fabricated."

He’s pissed off because Grandpa cut him out of the Will. Fred III says it was done “unfairly”, but it makes sense that Grandpa had his reasons.

Uncle Donald and the rest of the family adhered to the Will. Little Fred is whining. His kid has CP, and apparently it’s not HIS job to take care of HIS child.

Blah blah blah

Fred Trump III was born in Manhattan in November 1962 to flight attendant Linda Lea Clapp.

Bet she was happy to get rid of the Clap!

Oh Cool! Talking about what candidates did years before they ran for office is on the table. Great, where’s the “Kamala, How She got a Rise from Willie” book?

[tired&retired]

Here’s his motivation.

“Fred Trump III has written a memoir titled All In The Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, which details his experiences with his uncle Donald Trump and the family patriarch, his grandfather Fred Trump Sr. He hopes that the book will influence how people will vote in the 2024 United States presidential election. The book will be published on July 30, 2024.”

Yeah sure, junior.

"atomic crazy"

Excellent. Always a silver lining:

SHOCKED FACE WITH
EXPLODING HEAD

Exploding Head

A yellow face with an open mouth, the top of its head exploding in the shape of a brain-like mushroom cloud. A visual form of the expression mind blown, it may represent such emotions as shock, awe, amazement, and disbelief.

Apple’s design features the same expression as its 😦 Frowning Face With Open Mouth.

Exploding Head was approved as part of Unicode 10.0 in 2017 under the name "Shocked Face with Exploding Head" and added to Emoji 5.0 in 2017.

shock, awe, amazement, and disbelief:

Somewhere around here on the 13th or 14th, I'd mentioned that the day before the shooting I'd been looking at the beginning of the Torah, specifically at God's first words that we know about:

LET THERE BE LIGHT

(Like that, in all caps)

And that I had put them all together:

LETTHEREBELIGHT

At which point this jumped out:

LET THE REBEL IGHT

But also that this wasn't Wheel of Fortune, so I couldn't just add the "missing" F.

Then the next day was that very scene with it's "rebel" message of perseverance: "FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT"

At which point I had to marvel that at this game-changing moment of victory, in came not one, but three Fs.

Winning!

("Let there be light.")

But also that this wasn't Wheel of Fortune...

Then again, the Torah -- which is like a big wheel read in a circle -- literally 'begins' with a big bet.

🤯 People unsee this kind of stuff!

(It's an art and a science.)

” poorest members of an extended family”

Too many times we see family members try to get money they didn’t earn just because they think someone else has too much.

[ABStrauss]

All families have an idiot relative or two.

” he has put his mark on the family history,”

Donald J Trump IS the family’s history.

[Engedi]

Yes coming out of woodwork now and never said a word or wrote a book in 2016-20. I predict Trump will call him a liar and then Fred will sue and win like the rape chick did and cash in.

[bk1000]

Wasn’t there some other disgruntled relative trying to cash in last time? They crawl out of the woodwork.

[SharpRightTurn]

“Fred Trump III ... said, as he promoted his new book ....”

As surely as another presidential election year are books for sale by disgruntled family members trying to get in on the action.

[ABStrauss]

You’ve replied to the wrong post.

[Bob434]

Oh my goodness! Used a racial slur 30 years ago? Back when people used slurs all the time?

We judge a man by how he acts presently, and guess what Fred? Your uncle is acting extremely honorably wh8le you on the otherhand.... not so much

[Jonny7797]

decades ago??????? That’s it? That’s what he has on DJT? 20 years ago, Trump used a racial slur. WOW, toss the man in jail.

[PubliusMM]

Desperately seeking some degree of relevance, and money.
Go away, a$$hole. No one wants to hear from you.

[deport]

Gotta make the cash when the time/situation
is correct or let it go on down the road.
