Trump praises his late brother Robert for his lack of "jealousy" of him. Whether he "had the number one show," a great real estate deal or was becoming president, Trump says, Robert didn't show the jealousy that sometimes exists in families.

[Phoenix61]

1. Because everything is all about him. nt

[SheltieLover]

2. From what little I've read

Their relationship was contentious at best. Brother blew him off.

[SergeStorms]

31. He never recovered from "The Donald's" accusations...

that his brother was the cause of Trump's casino failing in Atlantic City. Donny put him in charge of the slot machines after a helicopter crash killed the person Donny originally hired to control the slot machines. The slot machines didn't open on time and cost Donny millions. Doesn't everyone know how to roll out slot machines operations in a casino at a moment's notice? What was wrong with his brother, doing Donny dirt like that?

[SheltieLover]

32. Cripes!

I think that was what I'd read about. Brother walked away & never looked back.

[SergeStorms]

36. Yep, and can you blame him?

Growing up with a narcissistic, asshole brother, never seeing the light of day because his brother blots out the sun? They say he was happy in life, doing whatever "lesser" Trumps do. That's one thing Little Donny will never have: Happiness.

[SheltieLover]

43. Of course I don't blame him!

Amazed he showed up to run casino.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

55. Well, Robert supported Don the Con in 2016 and hugged him that November night. . . . nt

[SheltieLover]

56. Eeeeeewwwww

Gross! Thx for sharing.

[Docreed2003]

3. Jesus...the guy has to be the corpse at his own brothers funeral??

He just can help himself. He has to be the center of attention at all times! I've met some narcissists in my time but damn he takes the cake.

[SheltieLover]

33. Sure does!

I wonder if family will have a funeral? (Covid?) And, if so, will they allow dimwot to speak (about himself)?

[Totally Tunsie]

48. They are having a funeral - at OUR expense.

Chump said this morning that the funeral will be Friday at the WH. This has to be unprecedented...since when are family members given a WH funeral?

Grift, grift, grifter.

[SheltieLover]

50. WTAF????,

Should not be allowed!

[SoCalNative]

47. He gave the eulogy at Fred's funeral

and it was all about himself

[Initech]

49. I make a tremendous, tremendous corpse!

In fact I'm the one who should be in the casket because it should be my funeral, not his! I have the best funerals, really tremendous, it's going to be huge, believe me!

[Zoonart]

4. Seriously I don't understand why anyone would expect anything else.

He is a malignant narcissist. He does not care about ANYONE. Not his wife, his children, his siblings... not his country and certainly not any of us. He ONLY cares about Trump. Period.

He is a damaged, mentally ill man. He was born that way and then groomed by another narcissist, his father.
If he had not been born rich, he should be either dead or in jail. My money is on dead, yet people still expect some miraculous pivot.
I blame the MSM for constantly pushing that narrative.
After all this time the "thinkers" and "leaders" in our institutions still underestimate the depth of his depravity and we will all suffer because of that.

[Eyeball_Kid]

20. While all of that is accurate,

A RawStory article this morning points to the GOP Senate as being "emasculated" by the threat of a Trump tweet. So we have over 50 very powerful Senators who can't say no to the most bizarre, unqualified, batshit crazy clown EVER to walk into the White House. They can't say no because Trump might tweet a rage at them. They are completely submissive. They are enabling. They have no integrity. None. That's the GOP. Remember that when voting. The GOP backs the destruction of our nation. They want to destroy all we have, because they'd rather get bullied than stand up and say no.

[Zoonart]

23. They are not afraid of a tweet...

that is a gross simplification and a prefect example of my point. on how the MSM reports on this.
The GOP stays with Trump and do not provoke him because they fear the freak show that their base has become. The cult of Trump is dangerous and the GOP knows it. It has nothing to do with "Emasculation". It has to do with self interest, the loss of their personal piece of power and their place at the tax payer trough.

[SheltieLover]

34. Must have kompromat on them

But, if they lived with integrity, this would not be an issue.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

21. Everything you said is spot on.

Especially the part about the "thinkers" and "leaders" underestimating the depth of his depravity. Unless enough people wake up to it, we will all pay a higher price than what we've paid so far.

[SheltieLover]

35. Absolutely!

Could shoulda woulda will be meaningless if he nukes something.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

38. True.

[SheltieLover]

44. As fkd up as he is

It could be an American city! Lock him up NOW!

And I can't recall him ever once mentioning his brother. Ever.

18. I believe that was first said about Alice Longworth Roosevelt.

[struggle4progress]

30. I shall always admire her lovely saying: "If you can't say something good about someone,

sit right here by me"

[scarletlib]

37. I think she said that about her Dad, Theodore Roosevelt.

[treestar]

66. Exactly!

His "best friend" my ass!

[SharonClark]

6. Some people say that Trump will give the eulogy

and claim his casket will be better and more beautiful than his brother’s.

[tanyev]

7. Mary said in her book when he spoke at his father's funeral all he did was talk about himself.

He's frikkin incapable of anything else.

[True Blue American]

14. Boy that one

Hits home close to me!

[smirkymonkey]

61. I can't wait to hear what she has to say about this.

She must know a lot more about the dynamics of their relationship than she went into in her book. I have a feeling it wasn't as warm and chummy as Trump would like us to believe it was.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

8. Trump is INCAPABLE of showing love....

He can say the word, but he does not LIVE it.

THAT is the difference.

[North Shore Chicago]

9. Unsurprising

What a human failure.

[marble falls]

10. Even when its not about trump, its about Trump!

[Music Man]

11. The master of the backhanded compliment.

[TexasBushwhacker]

12. Yeah, I'd say it was a humblebrag,

but there is nothing about Trump that's humble.

[Music Man]

25. Indeed.

[left-of-center2012]

13. Will Trump send VP Pence to the funeral instead of going himself?

[SheltieLover]

39. Will there be a funeral?

Was it covid? Not sure funerals are allowed, if he died of covid.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

15. The assholery never ends with this jerk.

The DSM-VII will have a new category called assholism, with Tangerine Idi Amin ( TheFerrett) as its exemplar.

[SheltieLover]

40. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Excellent! And yes, likely so!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

64. "Tangerine Idi Amin" comes from our own TheFerret!

[SheltieLover]

65. Nice!

[underpants]

16. So he was SUPPOSED to be jealous?

Trump actually takes a swipe, a victory lap over his dead brother?

Good lord.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

17. Any reliable word on the cause of death? If it is not Covid, why hide it? I doubt it was AIDS. .nt

[GopherGal]

54. ... the other thing Donnie wouldn't admit?

Neurological?
He was known to have been hospitalized in a neurology unit recently (immediately before filing the suit to enjoin against Mary's book IIRC).

[highplainsdem]

19. Trump's admitting his younger brother was the only person in his immediate family at all impressed

by him.

And probably not all the time once Robert grew up.

But it's a safe bet Trump still has memories of very, very young Robert Trump literally as well as figuratively looking up to him, while his older siblings looked down on him (literally for a while as well as figuratively) and his parents ignored him much of the time.

I've mentioned here before that Trump tends to pick men much shorter than himself as his top aides and appointees. He's so insecure he wants the feeling of towering over everyone around him.

And as a child, his younger brother -- and only his younger brother -- gave him that feeling.

[SMoss]

22. Trump virus

They are not saying what killed him. My bet is the guy died from the Trump Virus.

[SergeStorms]

28. The NYT reported...

he died from bleeding of the brain after a recent fall. It may very well have been COVID related, but as everything else with Trump, we'll never know the truth.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

57. Like tRump almost fell down a ramp? Runs in the family? . . . nt

[Initech]

24. Holy crap, what a sociopath.

[Evolve Dammit]

26. and went golfing. And describes what he wasn't rather than his accomplishments..Just f'in Wow.

[SergeStorms]

27. Trump's world is just fine...

as long as everyone stays in the place Donald Trump puts them.

His younger brother was to be silent and always remain in Donny's immense shadow. Younger sisters or other relatives, see - "younger brother".

Women should remain in the home, except when attached to his arm as a possession to be shown off. See - "trophy wife", "ornament".

Children are to be seen, and not heard, except when used for photo-ops or in the case of little girls, grinding on Daddy's lap.

Negroes should stay in their ghettos and not approach the suburbs. They should be happy picking cotton, waiting on white people, birthing babies, or whatever. They should never raise their voices.

Do-good democrats should be singing folk songs in covfefe houses, quietly protesting for that ridiculous "equal rights" thing, or lining up in the streets to be squashed by government storm troopers.

Business competitors should never try to beat Donald. He is "The Art of the Deal".

All others - be quiet and respectful of "The Donald". He is - after all - sent by god.

[muriel_volestrangler]

58. You can add: Appointees and government workers should praise him regularly

and never say or do anything that contradicts him or makes him look bad

Jews should count his money for him, and be grateful for all he's done for Israel

The Department of Justice should act as his personal lawyer and prosecutor

Contractors should be thankful to do business with him, and never complain when he stiffs them

Reporters should praise him, never ask awkward questions, and shut up when told to

[SergeStorms]

60. All very good...

and worthy of being included on the list. I imagine there are hundreds more we could add as well.

[calimary]

67. Not sent by even a small-G god

More like that other individual waiting at the base of the “Down” escalator.

[KewlKat]

29. I hope when don the con passes, at his eulogy they only speak of

The lives he took, the destruction he caused to the rule of law and the damage he’s caused to the world. Let’s make it not about him, but his legacy that nearly destroyed our democracy.

[MrModerate]

41. Psycho Donnie is one sick fuck. n/t

[SergeStorms]

53. That's disgusting.

After reading that you can see exactly how Trump's mind works. He thinks of everything as it relates to him. Everything in the world revolves around him. Donald Trump believes he is the center of the universe. He is, without question, the most self-centered person in the world. Mirrors bow down before him. What an empty, desiccated husk of a human being.

In fact, I'd say it sucks to be you.

59. What is wrong with this man

I’m in total awe of the narcissism. I’ll just never understand how no one says a word to him about it.

[smirkymonkey]

62. I don't even know what to say.

I mean, this is totally what would be expected of him, yet I am still completely dumbstruck.

[moondust]

63. So brother was a "loser"?

I thought he didn't like "losers."

Somebody needs to tell Preznit Pignutz that without that half billion inheritance he would be cleaning sewers someplace.
