You don't often see "retaliated by withdrawing the medical benefits critical to his nephew's infant child" in profiles of political front-runners.
But Sunday's New York Times article, discussing Donald Trump's relationship with his late brother Freddy, includes it at the bottom. Then came the unveiling of Fred Sr.'s will, which Donald had helped draft. It divided the bulk of the inheritance, at least $20 million, among his children and their descendants, "other than my son Fred C. Trump Jr."
Freddy's children sued, claiming that an earlier version of the will had entitled them to their father's share of the estate, but that Donald and his siblings had used "undue influence" over their grandfather, who had dementia, to cut them out.
A week later, Mr. Trump retaliated by withdrawing the medical benefits critical to his nephew's infant child. "I was angry because they sued," he explained during last week's interview. But hey, no worries; I'm sure that cutting off medical care for an infant won't come up in attack ads in the general election.

That’s only if you changed providers.
I’ve mourned the loss of both my parents, who left a not insubstantial estate. My siblings and I didn’t fight over anything. We came together, we buried old wounds, and we comforted each other.
Agreed. I refuse to click on their website. Linking NRO is the equivalent of linking DU
Good for you and yours. That is a beautiful and all too rare thing.
He canceled the policy. You’re beating a dead horse on the pre existing thing. I know because I lived it.
So have I. That’s how I know.
At the time that this baby was born, trump would have been a-okay with that.
If you think 35 years ago you could buy insurance for a seriously ill infant you are delusional. If you had a policy covering that child and canceled it, you were out of luck getting a new one. Companies were not required by law to cover those pre existing conditions and they didn’t.
I think the big problem this country has is being politically correct. I've been challenged by so many people, and I don't frankly have time for total political correctness.
And to be honest with you, this country doesn't have time either.Donald Trump

That’s the best they got? He stopped paying for his brothers insurance policy? And claims he got him written out of his father’s will?? Seriously?
It’s not like he threatened women raped by his husband, or sent out folks to destroy them in the press etc....
Seriously, you are worried about this as dirt in a general election when the opponent is Hillary?
It takes a cold hearted person to cancel a health insurance policy on a critically ill baby because he got angry. It was spiteful and wrong.
That’s why I said “That’s only if you changed providers”.
Would you consider a policy being canceled a change in provider? What company do you know that would issue a policy to cover a critically ill infant?
The one that covered the child when it was born will cover it. But if you changed providers after that, they may not be covered.
I changed policies and the new company DID cover pre-existing conditions which is one of the reasons I took the job.
Only that one branch?
true. and people change.
It wouldn’t have helped the baby then if trump had been deciding its fate, that trump later supposedly changed his political stance from all-out baby murder up until the moment of birth, to now believing that baby murder is okay in cases of rape, incest, life of the mother, and depending on how far along it is.
And you assume the facts are accurate? I learned a long time ago when it comes to domestic disputes and family grudges you aren’t likely to ever get to the real truth of the matter.. No matter what those ABC after school specials say.
Any action any side takes is portrayed by the other in the worst light Always. I sure as hell am not digging into some family spat to try to judge anyone because I’ve never seen a single one where anyone comes out smelling like roses.
My dad and I got into a conversation about money (not argument) he put it best when he said he never saw a Brinks truck in a funeral procession..
