President Trump to visit younger brother, Robert Trump, who is ‘very ill’ in hospital
Washington Post ^ | 08/14/2020 | By Anne Gearan, Colby Itkowitz and Michael Kranish

President Trump on Friday is planning to visit his younger brother, Robert Trump, who is hospitalized in New York, a White House spokesman said.

Robert Trump, 71, is reportedly “very ill,” but his exact condition is unknown. The president will visit his brother’s bedside en route to a preplanned weekend at his Bedminister, N.J. private golf resort.

The president has spoken fondly of his younger sibling, who is a fellow New York real estate executive.

Robert Trump unsuccessfully sought to block publication this summer of his niece Mary Trump’s best-selling tell-all book “Too Much and Never Enough” about their family.

Mary is the daughter of the oldest Trump sibling, Fred Trump Jr., who died in 1981 at the age of 43 after battling with alcohol addiction.

The Trump brothers also have two sisters, Maryanne Trump Barry and Elizabeth Trump Grau.

Robert Trump, like the president’s other siblings, has mostly kept to himself during his brother’s presidency, but said during the last campaign that he supported his brother “one thousand percent.”

When Mary Trump’s plan to write a book become public earlier this year, President Trump told Axios that his niece was “not allowed” to write the book, and his lawyer Charles Harder filed briefs on behalf of Robert, in an effort to block it. Robert Trump said in court papers that Mary Trump was prohibited from publishing such a memoir because she signed a confidentiality agreement in a 2001 inheritance case.

So here we have a bottom-feeding “journalist” purportedly writing a piece about the President’s ill brother, but the piece is really about that disgusting niece, her book and whatever family laundry she aired. I loathe the media.

Its not the same person..obviously the “Robert Trump” on twitter is a parody account its not actually his brother(Even though I enjoy his tweets) Prayers sent for Robert..Im thinking this is NOT Corona related as President Trump will be visiting him, I heard that he was also hospitalized in June so he obviously has health issues..praying he pulls through..I could see on Trump’s face yesterday he was just not into it, he just seemed sad, with everything going on, his brother, the bombardment of everyone trashing him, you can see it on his face..prayers for the entire Trump family

If you’re talking about the @UncleRobTrump account- it’s a parody account.

Interesting that Twitter hasn’t told him to acknowledge it’s parody- anytime there’s a parody account by the right, Twitter makes them identify it.

I saw Trump’s distress also. Been seeing it for a while and worried that the job was getting to him.
I pray for wellness and peace, and that they tirn their hearts to God, more than ever.

Everyday he is called worse than the devil..people who he thought were his friends, turned against him to make easy money..he makes a amazing deal yesterday between the UAE and Israel, something any other President would be lavished with praise, but hardly a mention anywhere..so he must be thinking “What is the point..I do something amazing that helps people, achieve peace and no one cares”

The people who DO CARE are Legion. The ‘Media’ doesn’t report on US. Appalling that the ‘Media’ would let KA mama get away with taking credit for the Peace Deal. It must be exhausting for PDJT. Prayers for his Peace and our beloved Republic.

So glad you posted that.

Michael Savage even speculated about 3 months ago that part of the left's plan is to deliberately drive him crazy and weaken him by their coordinated tormenting persecution without ceasing. They hope for a big medical problem to destroy him---Savage speculated. He never had a vacation after the Russia collusion hoax and the impeachment danger. It was straight to the enormous Covid crisis and more criticism and danger to his legacy. No one of the Dems said "We are Americans, all pulling for President Trump together as we set aside personal political agendas." Never. ----Stress.

Aliza Shevrin (R) of MI said in an interview once, "How would you or I in any endeavor or profession be able to stand it if every single tiny thing we said or did or didn't do was blasted strongly and viciously again and again, not just for a day, but day and night every day, day in, day out? Who could stand that?

I pray for the well being of Robert Trump and President Trump and his family.

I always thought that Trump used the rallies to suck energy from the crowd. He seemed to thrive from them. I miss them.

What Peace Deal? Better not have anything to do with President Trump’s Israel/UAE accomplishment!

Trump rallies missing energy....

Good point. Early on in the Dem lockdowns a commentator said Trump is losing the one thing that could bring him momentum to increase his vote totals——his enthusiastic fans at rallies. Virtual or total allowed of 10 spread out people in a stadium doesn’t cut it. Even the cheers are muffled by masks.
