Always sad when someone close to you passes away.

RIP

You mean 'thread'?

Tread = walk in a specified way.

Didn't even know that Donald had a younger brother till now.

I heard one time that he had an older brother that died of alcohol and made Donald promise not to drink. Mr Trump kept that promise.

So I mentioned it in another thread after DT became the POTUS that he didn't drink and you know what response I got?

"Hitler didn't drink either"

Through the years, there have been many accounts of the rather distant relationship Donald had with his brother; many have recounted how not only DT, but the rest of the family at large, tended to treat Robert as a sort of low level employee; DT is reported to have once offered to dump Robert from the Trump Org. in order to secure funding for a deal; every wealthy family seems to have one relation who is treated as the odd man out and Robert seems to have served that function for DT...

It must have been a difficult existence for Robert and I hope he is treated well if there is an afterlife...

Was reading an article on him the other day (BBC iirc) and that was the conclusion I came to.
