Fred Trumpâs son was born with a rare medical condition that led to developmental and intellectual disabilities. His care had been paid for in part with help from the family. After Mr. Trump was elected, Fred Trump wanted to use his connection to the White House for good. With the help of Ivanka Trump, his cousin, and Ben Carson, at the time the housing and urban development secretary, he was able to convene a group of advocates for a meeting with his uncle. The president âseemed engaged, especially when several people in our group spoke about the heart-wrenching and expensive efforts theyâd made to care for their profoundly disabled family members,â he writes.
After the meeting, Fred Trump claims, his uncle pulled him aside and said, âmaybe those kinds of people should just die,â given âthe shape theyâre in, all the expenses.â
The remark wasnât a one-off, according to Fred Trump. A couple of years later, when he called his uncle for help because the medical fund that paid for his sonâs care was running out of money, Fred Trump claims his uncle said: âI donât know. He doesnât recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.â
âMaybe I shouldnât have been surprised to hear Donald say that,â he writes. âIt wasnât far off from what heâd said that day in the Oval Office after our meeting with the advocates. Only that time, it was other peopleâs children who should die. This time, it was my son.â

This is from a new book from Trump's nephew, Fred C. Trump, III. Apparently, if the expense is too much some disabled individuals should just die. So, sorry folks if it costs too much to keep you alive, well it's off to the great beyond.
Trump did not make these comments 30 years ago, these comments were made while he was in the White House.
This could explain why Trump was so cavalier about Covid deaths.
You would think the "pro-life" people would be outraged. NOT.
As the nephew makes clear in his book, Donald has always been a vulgar individual.
Of course, it is these qualities, Trump's vulgarity and repulsiveness, that make him the MAGA lord.
