6. IIRC, Trump said his brother had fallen and hit his head, but was on blood thinners...

so he had a brain bleed.

However, aren't they giving people blood thinners because of the blood clots that form with COVID and/or all the lying in one place?

If he lied about his brother's death to cover his COVID-19 reputation of inaction, then how could anyone ever believe anything he says? I know none of us do, but his base suck in anything he says as truth. That would be the ultimate in lies and responsibility...not to admit COVID killed him to protect yourself.

If Ingraham is lying, that will surely be the final straw of FOX for Trump.

I haven't heard any reference to his cause of death until Laura Ingraham said it was due to COVID.

for the cost of reproduction. Of course, all people, in the end, die of "heart failure."

14. We would not hear anything of Trump's brother dying from Covid.

They would have covered it up and made up some kind of excuse. I trust Laura Ingraham as far as I can throw her, but the fact that they did not immediately announce a cause of death makes me suspicious. He was elderly, in bad health, recently in the hospital. It is very plausable that he could have come down with Covid and perished from it.

The only problem is that it happened to the wrong brother.
