Fred C. Trump III casts aside decades of silence to delve into the roots of the Trump family’s dysfunction at a critical moment in American political history
on Sunday and endorsed Vice President Harris as his successor, setting up the near certainty that Harris will be the first Black woman to head a national ticket and will face off against former president Donald Trump in November.,” it goes like this: Someone had slashed a two-foot gash in the soft-top of his uncle Donald’s beloved Cadillac Eldorado convertible. Donald Trump was furious. He called over his young nephew to take a look.
Fred Trump’s vividly detailed recollection of that day — which he writes took place when he was a “preteen” in the early 1970s when Uncle Donald was in his mid- to late 20s — prompts him to ponder whether his uncle was “a racist.” The author cuts his uncle a bit of a break, noting that in those days, “people said all kinds of crude, thoughtless, prejudiced things.” He also does some equivocating, hyperbolically writing that “in one way or another, maybe everyone in Queens was a racist then.
The author of “All in the Family” is the son of Donald Trump’s older brother, Fred Trump Jr., or “Freddie,” as he was known, who died in 1981 at the age of 42 after a life marred by alcoholism and unrealized dreams of a career as a commercial airline pilot. He is the second of Freddie’s children to write a book about the family.
Fred lays no small amount of blame for his father’s troubles on his grandfather pushing him to join the family business. Though his father chafed at joining the business, according to his son, he was the one who came up with the idea of putting the Trump name on a large development — a decision his grandfather initially resisted. The airing of that fact is sure to rankle his Uncle Donald, who loves to take credit for almost everything and to present himself as a business savant.
Nothing in this book offers a better insight into Donald Trump’s heart and mind — at least from the vantage point of his nephew — than the snatches of conversations about Fred’s son and about disabilities writ large. What comes through is a portrait of a man who sees himself as a superior being — right down to his DNA.
“I don’t know,” Uncle Donald told him. “He doesn’t recognize you. Maybe you should just let him die and move down to Florida.”
