The good die young and so it goes for Robert Trump, who passed in a New York City hospital. POTUS said ‘He was my best friend’
While his younger brother was clinging to the last few hours he had to live, President Trump was playing golf in New Jersey. Some people wait by their bedsides with prayers and support. Others abandon their siblings to go away to play. Meanwhile, Mary Trump writes in her book: “As my father lay dying alone, Donald went to the movies.”
Robert Trump was a businessman known for an even keel that seemed almost incompatible with the family name. Trump died Saturday night after being hospitalized in New York, the president said in a statement. He was 71 years old.
A friend of the family said he shunned the spotlight and had “zero sense of entitlement.” No cause of death was given so far.
Trump's tribute to his late brother is all about him: "He was my biggest fan. People would tell me all the time, 'I spoke to your brother and your brother was so thrilled.' And so thrilled at what was happening. And what was happening for the country, he was so angry with China."
