It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight. 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.

I wasn’t addressing you, get lost.

No greater love than that of a brother.

Truly an extraordinary man. I grew up and worked in New York City and I read the news about him and never really took him that seriously.

He never sounded particularly conservative. who knew?

maybe it was there all along or maybe he changed with age or maybe God changed him or maybe a combination of the above

[Bshaw]

Sad night indeed! RIP and prayers for the Trump family!

“Don?? wth You wouldn’t make a pimple on his tail and you feel it’s ok to address him as Don? pos“

Lighten up..

Calling a President by his abbreviated first name or a nickname often can be a sign of affection.

Abraham Lincoln - Abe - Honest Abe
Dwight D. Eisenhower - Ike
Ronald Reagan - Ronnie or the Gipper
George W Bush - W
Theodore Roosevelt - Teddy

Especially when distinguishing between siblings.

How many hundreds of times have you heard people refer to the Kennedy brothers as Bobby or Jack? Do you think that was disrespectful?

Leaving this to put a smile on our faces in the face of this otherwise sad news...Credit to Yoe.

(”...get lost.”)

Tres harsh. It’s an open forum.

Where do you think Robert Trump is? If he’s in heaven, how do you think one gets there?

[entropy12]

I will gladly join in prayer for the PDJT.
The best president in my lifetime of 60 adult years.

Thanks so much for the link for sending condolences to the White House. Just finished heart and soul expressions of condolences....and I added that we have his back here in Florida!

Wish he could’ve been closer to POTUS, while ill.

I think that is why POTUS was staying in his Bedminster, NJ home on the last few weekends.

[Jane Long]

Probably so.
