Donald Trump admits cutting off medical treatment for his nephew's sick baby

*Trump's older brother Freddy died an alcoholic at the age of 43 in 1981 When Trump family patriarch Fred Sr. died in 1999, *Freddy's children were cut out of the will Donald helped draft *Donald admitted he reneged on a pledge to pay the medical bills for the medical care of the sick infant when the Freddy's children sued *Claimed Donald and his siblings had influenced their late grandfather to leave them out of his will

Donald Trump has admitted cutting off medical treatment to his nephew’s sick baby after he allegedly had his alcoholic brother’s children cut out of his father’s will.

In an interview with the New York Times, Trump said he retaliated because he was ‘angry because they sued’. His brother Freddy, a pilot, had died an alcoholic in 1981, aged 43.

He had two children – named after his parents Fred and Mary – with a stewardess he married at age 23 called Linda Clapp. The couple later divorced.

When the family patriarch Fred Sr., died in 1999, Freddy’s son, Fred III, spoke at the funeral. Later that night, his wife went into labor but the baby had cerebral palsy.

The Trump family promised to pay the medical bills. But when Fred Sr.’s will was read, it revealed that the majority of his inheritance would be split between his children – except Freddy Trump Jr.

Donald J Trump probably paid the bills of the sick child. It’s just the payment didn’t come directly From Trump Sr’s will where it will probably end up in a Clinton type save the children charity.

Trump got mad and canceled the sick infants health insurance.
............................................................................................
You attack him, he retaliates.

Capiche?

That’s right! The infant may have made the mistake of spitting up on Donald’s new suit. And Donald’s paybacks are hell. Just being an infant and critically ill is no excuse.

It's entertaining watching them run back and forth with their hair on fire over stuff like this...

I'm waiting for the threads with titles like TRUMP IS THE ANTICHRIST, or TRUMP IS A SECRET CANNIBAL or TRUMP HARVESTS ORGANS OF DYING SENIORS, the hysteria of the Trump-hating hordes is only going to get worse.

I’m confused. Brother dies in 1981 and somebody's baby was born in 1999?

Trump's brother died in 1981. His son, Trump's nephew, is the father of the child in question.

Trump, who paid Polish workers less than $5.00 per hour to work on his high rises and didn’t even give them hard hats, is going to look out for the little guy, even though he thinks wages are too high.

I have worked as a construction worker in the mid 90s. Got 8 dollars an hour. Bought my own tools, which were way more expensive than just buying a hard hat. Don't have anything against the company that hired me. Was happy to be employed. Instead of complaining as a victim, or expecting anybody else to complain on my behalf against the people that hired me. Now doing software engineering for around 65 dollars an hour. I should hope the Polish workers felt the same way, and if not perhaps they should work for somebody who treats them better. But if there isn't anybody who would treat them better, why should they be angry at Trump? And why should I be?

Well, the story was in the New York papers in 2000 (at the time) so it hasn't been hidden. The nephew and niece sued to have the will overturned (written 8 years before Fred Trummp died) and that is when the family stopped paying the premium for the medical insurance. The nephew was perfectly able to pay for his own medical insurance, according to the original story, but the Trump family had been paying it as a courtesy.

Fred Trump purposely cut those grandchildren out of his will, which was his prerogative.

Trump wears ladies underwear.

Trump feeds his grandchildren liver and onions for breakfast.

Trump no longer uses Dapper Dan pomade. Now uses FOP.

I had the misfortune of being sued by a family member. It was probably the maddest I ever got in my life. The situation was this: I had just gotten married and as my wife and I left on our honeymoon, I allowed my sister to stay in our apartment while we were gone.

Big mistake. She had an after-reception party at the apartment that night and one of my cousins, who was already extremely intoxicated from the wedding reception, kneeled down by my dog, grabbed her by the neck and shook her. In self-defense, my dog bit her in the nose and made a slight puncture. So I come back from my honeymoon to find out my own cousin is suing me for something like $50,000. I flew into a rage and called my aunt (her mother) and laid into her as I know she's the one that put my cousin up to it. It got nasty for a while and she was finally forced to drop the suit when I lined up a dozen witnesses to say that she was intoxicated and aggressively instigated my dog.

So if I ever run for president myself, the above is my version of events and I'm sticking to it!

“If this gets out, it might do some damage to Trump. A lot of people will perceive it as not a nice way to treat family. “

Dream on.

Months of digging by the leftmedia and this is the best thye could come up with? This doesn’t even merit a snore.

I like liver and onions.

Never had them for breakfast, but there’s always a first.

And I might add the nephew's family lived in Greenwich, CT at the time and they still live there today. I know enough about the area to know that you don't live in Greenwich unless you are pretty well off. So I'm sure that they had the means to pay the medical bills themselves if it came down to it. Hell, most of us in the middle class have to pay our own damn bills and we don't have sugar daddies to pay them for us.

I don’t understand the seeming desperation to “get Trump”.

They told me Ted was positioned exactly where he wanted to be.

He’s going to win Iowa, or so I have been told.

He’s has the best team on the ground in the most important states.

What’s the problem? I told one Cruz supporter to stay on the Cruz threads and celebrate.

I don’t see a whole lot of that for folks who know they’re winning.

I guess 41 to 13% means a lot more to them than they let on.

Thanks for reporting the facts of this story, Abby.

TBP and ‘conservative’ ‘joy’ are all about the welfare state, we see.

They need to hold hands and skip back over to Gibsmedatland. They are on the wrong forum, obviously.

Trump was already a billionaire when his father died.
His younger brother David runs the part of the family business built by their father. He has offices in TT
Sister Mary Anne Barry was appointed to the federal bench by Reagan. Later to the appellate court by Clinton. As a colleague of Sam Allito she spoke for him at his confirmation hearing for SCOTUS (Their records were virtually identicle up to that point)
The other sister went into banking. She married a banker. They keep a low profile Trump knows banking. He has good advisors

Trump Sr died in 1999. His will was written in 1991 and one in 1984 that both left money to his living children not his deceased son’s children. How is Trump to blame?

Apparently medical care was still covered. Read an article from that time.

Nice try to discredit, but stick to the truth.

Those are very good points!

I'm also being informed by certain "Cruzers" that it's in the bag for Ted. Why he's got Iowa all buttoned up and has the best ground game since the '72 Dolphins. Once he wins Iowa, why all the other states are going to fall Cruz's way like dominoes. Trump might as well pack up and return to his Park Avenue penthouse right now.

So yes, I agree with you that they should be celebrating tonight and popping champagne corks instead of spending all this time getting worked up about a little family dysfunction that Trump had all those years ago.

I agree.

Looks like the long knives are out now.

Sad...
