Where are Trump's siblings?

They are probably embarrassed by his behavior. Or at least they should be embarrassed. I would find it hard to believe that his sister would agree with what he said about the judge. She probably hopes he wins so he could appoint her to the Supreme Court.

If that's not a WTF?, I don't know what is.


ETA: Sorry, I just realized you meant Trump's siblings. But my WTF still stands.

8. You made me curious. Don's older brother

Freddy sounds like an okay guy but was a disappointment to his father, went to work for an airline when working for his dad was just too whatever, and died of alcoholism in his early 40s. When their dad died, leaving somewhere around $200-300 M, his will -- which Donald (head of the family business at that time) helped draft -- supposedly cut Freddy's son off, who did not work in the family business, and gave his children very little comparatively. At the time of the funeral they had a new baby with extremely serious medical problems, and disagreement when the will become known caused Donald to cut off the medical plan that paid for his care (a judge ordered it reinstated).

Younger brother Robert worked for the family business headed by Donald and is now retired and supports his brother's run for the White House, as he perhaps did working under him all along. He might well be complicit in his brother's business doings.

Maryanne's a appellate circuit judge, a Republican appointed by Reagan and then promoted by Bill Clinton. She seems to be regarded as a good judge.

Elizabeth "works in banking," seemingly not at a level considered mentionable. She may either have fled the family business or not been allowed a place in it.
