Trump Is Dead

Post by dales »

NEW YORK (AP) — President Donald Trump's younger brother, Robert Trump, a businessman known for an even keel that seemed almost incompatible with the family name, died Saturday night after being hospitalized in New York, the president said in a statement. He was 71.

The president visited his brother at a New York City hospital on Friday after White House officials said he had become seriously ill. Officials did not immediately release a cause of death.

"It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight," Donald Trump said in a statement. “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 hope this loss - if he actually feels something about it - only serves to destabilize him more in the coming weeks so voters see just how dangerous he is.

He gets as much sympathy from me as he’s shown to the loved ones and friends of 168,000 dead Americans in this pandemic as well as to the loved ones and friends of all the American public servant heroes whose passing he’s mocked during his tenure:

That's sad to hear. Seriously. I wonder if he had COVID. It wouldn't surprise me. If Trump never tells us what killed his brother, it's probably COVID.

So Donald figures his brother's soul is in hell?

If Trump meets anybody in hell it will only be in passing as he is escorted by Beelzebub himself to a special 10th Circle of Hell which has been created and reserved especially for him.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

He was suffering brain bleeds from a recent fall, according to the news reporting.


If he did die of covid19, I doubt the president would acknowledge that.

But wait, 45* visited him this past week - so he definitely didn’t have covid19.

Interesting. I read three reports and none of them had any information about the cause of death. Maybe Trump was required to sacrifice his brother in order to get permission from Putin to build a new tower in Russia.

Robert, who took blood thinners, had suffered recent brain bleeds that began after a recent fall, according to a close friend of the family, who spoke to The New York Times.
This is from Daily Mail, but sources the New York Times. It’s not an official cause of death released by family, hospital or White House, however.

Thanks. If he was taking blood thinners, he obviously had a health problem of some type. We may never know the truth. It's sad though, especially since in one article I read, it said that he was known as the "good Trump".

You're right Joe.

I read the same about his brother as being even-tempered and fair.

So unlike the fat bastart we have in the WH.

  • On Robert Trump's Death
I heard my brother died while I was dressing.
I’d planned to visit him when I was through.
I’m tired of this hateful second-guessing.
I had a tee-time – what else could I do?
