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.

I think this is why he’s ben unusually quite at his breifings....Hard to carry when a close family member is in serious condition.
Why can’t Trump rally in the states that aren’t shut down? And then encourage Trump supporters from neighboring states to come to those rallies.
“Trump is losing the one thing that could bring him momentum to increase his vote totals——his enthusiastic fans at rallies.”
When Hillary-loving Fauci and Birx and similar began to demand lockdown, my first thought was that it was to eliminate the rallies. The rallies were his strength last time, and there’s no way they could allow that to happen again.
And break quarantine? It will be illegal for any of them to go to NYC.
Sounds like a Trump!
And kudos to him for not trying to grab the limelight. No Robby Bro beer for him!
As if anyone wants to go to NYC. Don’t think Trump would rally there anyway.
I know people who break quarantine for less reason than supporting Trump. And the tyrannical states would have to arrest hundreds, even thousands of patriots to stop that support.
Good idea.
If Soros can pay for thousands of out of state BLM supporters to suddenly appear in a downtown "peaceful protest" complete with a card "Where to call if arrested" and some bricks,tear gas,expandable fighting baton, and a bottle to fill with gasoline, then the good guys can gather as a political expression for Trump.
Fauci and Birx guiding us to lockdowns to hurt Trump....
Right. And the day after certification of election results both will say “America is back in business. Come out of your homes and go to restaurants, bars and stores. There is no evidence lockdowns actually work so let’s help our new President bring America to socially just greatness.”
In New York? Pray for his soul.
