Fred Trump III: “I’m Concerned About This Coming Election. It’s Going To Get Very Nasty”

He is far too forgiving. I could not imagine ever speaking to someone again who told me I should just let my kid die because he was disabled and couldn't recognize me.

When I heard Fred's first interview, my first thought was, "OMG! Donald supports post-birth abortion of people who make him feel uncomfortable! And proposing the practice in his own family."

I hope Fred is successful in improving the lot of the disabled.

I find this guy strangely unsettling. He seems deeply torn between family loyalty and willingness to see them for who they are/were.

Trump was white, then suddenly turned orange….

Thank you Sir for sharing your story. Donald Trump is a narcissist, his lack of empathy to his closest family is totally dysfunctional and cruel. God bless you and your beloved family 🙏🏻

Even Fred said it: the Donald he knew is not the one that exists today. That Donald is long gone, replaced by a monster.

Thank you, Katie. The story of how William was treated by Trump is heartbreaking, but the way he's talking about his sister Mary is disturbing. He needs to do better. And seeming to hold out hope trump could do the right thing is just delusional. Leaves me feeling unsettled.

I devoted 29 years working with kids with disabilities & their families - Why? because I had been so inspired by my cousin with spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy. It was knowing her and seeing her amazing presence as we grew up together that taught me what I needed to know about life, humans and diversity. Thanks Katie, for featuring Fred III and his son here. His dignity and your care made this a beautiful interview in spite of the horrific behavior of his uncle Donald.

Fred I truly respect you coming forward now. As for your sister Mary I have high respect for her telling the truth, fighting the fight that was for your benefit also. She hasn't wavered and doesn't try to excuse any of the horrible effects your Uncle has caused for his entire life. Trump didn't change when he got in the White House (maybe to you) but listen to your own words.... how he treated your father, how he dealt with your son's condition from day one, stealing the inheritance that was suppose to be for you & Mary. Then let alone everyone along his way from his wives, his kids, employees, contractors, he screwed over anyone and everyone. Then cheating on taxes, insurance, LLCs to move money through, etc. He has been a very bad person all along. So maybe YOU had some positive interactions but what he did to Your Dad, Your Sister, Your Son alone would make most people never give him a chance to be in your life. I don't mean for this to be taken in a hateful way, but I think as long as you got things you wanted from him you pushed those evil things aside. (Actually makes me sad, especially when you said that if that devil got back in the White House you would go)😢😢😢😢😢😢 Again because that event would be more important to you than saying I will never be involved with someone so cruel. Believe me Family isn't always thicker than water. REALITY...TRUMP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT YOU, YOUR SON OR ANYONE ELSE BUT HIMSELF.....PERIOD

Fred needs to stop with the fond memories of his criminal uncle who is a danger to us all and apologize to Mary. Mary is his sister and they've both had to deal with the same sociopaths. His uncle took his inheritance but he still smiles about him and hopes for a future that includes him. Wow, just wow.

Wow Katie ! Nice to see you again , we needed real Journalists in this medium .

"Trump 2024 is NOT a campaign slogan. It is an expiration date" --- Amy Reynolds

He knows Donald is a very bad man. He just has a really hard time saying so in a definitive way. Mary doesn't have that problem.

Would be nice if Fred Iii acknowledged the profound significance of his sister’s courage and commitment to our democracy when “outing” the Trump family dysfunction. Mary Trump provided a nuanced view based on her professional acumen - as a psychologist. Too bad Fred III is not embracing his sister, instead of promoting himself as the best intentioned “ crusader”—- narcissism runs deep in the Trump family. 🤔

I grew up with my own two "Uncle Donalds" and growing up in my family was hell. Where there some good times? Yes, if you count individual hours and sometimes even half a day as "good times" - obviously only when those uncles weren't around. The adults arround me had already gotten used to their mysogyny, hate, spitting poison, touching every female person (children included) whether they liked it or not and expressed that, no one ever sued them for any of it etc. etc. Plus: one had a disabled son. That son had a "normal" brother. So, whenever he came to visit (after my aunt had divorced him), he expressedly stated he would only do so if he got to see only his "normal" son - he never went to see his disabled son (although they were brothers living with their mom under the same roof!). Now, explain that to the disabled son (who did notice and was hurt)! Men like Donald Trump suck at being human. I'm still looking for a word that truly fits them but haven't been able to come up with one. I just know that I never want to be anywhere near such a person ever again - even if that means cutting of people I generally like but who are in contact with such "beings".

You settle it but did donnie ? Hes too vindictive be careful

Being a great pilot takes an insane amount of sheer BALLS.

Thank you, Fred, but be kind to your sister!

I was struck and horrified by, "Are we done?". This insignificant gesture of a golf round as apology, and simultaneously soliciting legal actions would stop.
