  • I have a niece that had a brain in aneurysm. We fought alongside her for almost a year for her life. I would give my last penny to save my families life.
  • As a father if my son was sick and ANYONE told me to “just let him die” then they’d end up in a hospital if they were lucky and I’d be in jail. The whole idea that the disabled are draining resources is completely fascist
  • @pushinkeys
    “Just let him die and move to Florida..” Jesus that’s beyond foul.
  • Trump recently told attendees at one of his large rallies that he did not care about them and that he just wanted their votes. Trumps self confession sounded very much like the man his nephew described—i.e. regarding people simply as props.
  • @mjeffn2
    The country would be “atomic crazy,” if it lets Trump get anywhere near the treasury, nuclear codes, or the Constitution again.
  • @JJ-jo3rl
    “Is he a racist?” It’s kinda like saying “She’s sort of pregnant”.
  • @MB5rider81
    Nobody lies ABOUT Trump. You can only lie FOR him.
  • @j.r.1823
    It's definitely not fake news. Fred Trump seems very genuine and sincere and I admire him for speaking out. Honestly, you just have to listen to Donald Trump, listen to his spiteful language, how he talks about others, how he shows no real empathy towards others, how he always just praises himself and his superiority etc. - to realize that Trump has mental issues and is a highly narcissistic person to say the least. This story fits perfectly in what I have seen and heard firsthand coming from Donald Trump before.
  • @Rocanala
    When a man’s own family come out in numbers to speak against him, listen carefully.
  • "Atomic crazy." Two words we need to hear every day for the next hundred days.
  • @jdmjdm2094
    If multiple people from your family come out against you, that's a problem.
  • @spumemonk11
    He also said he dosen't like troops that get captured. All on record.
  • None of this is surprising he doesn’t like disabled veterans either
  • @santfam3835
    How can you tell a father with a disabled child to let them die because they are a burden? Who does that?
  • @elypevets5633
    Atomic crazy should be nowhere near the nuclear button
  • @LeslieGMN
    Fred Trump III wouldn’t comment when his sister Dr. Mary published her family memoir a few years ago. But I believe that his grief after decades of caring for his son has finally pushed him to speak out about his uncle’s outrageous remarks. Donald Trump has said more than once, after meeting with his nephew and other advocates for the disabled, that he believes that the profoundly disabled should “just die.” If that’s not taking a leaf from Hitler’s playbook, I don’t know what does.
  • @TomyD1321
    100% trump said these horrific things. I never forget when he insulted John Mcayn , he said I don’t like the veterans that get cougt.
  • I believe Fred Trump is telling the truth. It takes a lot of courage voice this truth, he knows he will get a lot of backlash and nobody wants it.
