Why do we never hear ANYTHING about Trump's siblings.

[smirkymonkey]

I mean nothing. I would think that it would be a very key piece of the puzzle to know a little bit about his living siblings. What they are like and what their relationship with him is like. Are they close? What do they think of him? Are they as narcissistic and grandiose as he is?

I am curious. I also find it curious that they have managed to avoid the limelight so far. Anybody have any insight?

1. One is a Federal judge, and one is dead.

The brother died an alcoholic, the sister is the Federal judge. Brother was an airline pilot.

and I missed two, so here in the story:

Maryanne Trump Barry

The eldest of the five Trump kids, she is also Donald’s most well-known sibling. After receiving a law degree from Hofstra University, Maryanne served as the District Judge for New Jersey (Newark) for sixteen years after being nominated by President Ronald Reagan in 1983. President Bill Clinton promoted her to a seat on the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1999, where she served as Circuit Judge till she retired in 2011.

Donald, who is reportedly very close to his sister, said about Maryanne: “She feels that women are very smart and can be very tough and can be at least equal to men, and that women can fight very hard.”

She lives in New York with her husband, John J. Barry, a retired attorney.

Frederick (Freddy) Trump Jr.

Eight years older than Donald, Freddy dabbled with the family business only to give it up and move to his passion for flying.

Freddy, though fun-loving, came under immense pressure to succeed in the family business and could not handle the criticism of his “perfectionist” father, according to a report by the New York Times, turning to alcohol for refuge.

He passed away when he was only 43 in 1981, leaving a deep impact on his younger brother Donald who said, “He would have been an amazing peacemaker if he didn't have the problem, because everybody loved him.”

Elizabeth Trump Grau

Trump’s other older sister is a graduate of Kew-Forest School and Southern Seminary College (now renamed Southern Virginia University) in Buena Vista, going on to work in the banking sector.

She married film producer James Walter Grau in 1989, with Donald as an usher at the wedding.

Robert Trump

The youngest of the Trump brood, Robert joined the family business, moving up to become a top executive in the Trump empire. The 67-year-old is now retired and based out of Long Island.

“I support Donald one thousand percent,” Robert said during an interview with website Page Six earlier this year. “I think he’s doing a great job. I think he’s got a great message.”

6. Thank you. Interesting, but I find it so strange that they seem so estranged from him.

They may say they aren't but we never hear anything or see them. I honestly don't think anyone really likes him. Even his own family.

[SeattleVet]

13. Actually, it's really not so strange that they keep their distance.

Those that know him the best, hate him the most.

There's a reason that he got 10% of the vote in NYC.

[smirkymonkey]

14. You have a point.

I would be very interested to hear what they really think of him. I wonder if we will ever find out.

[TheBlackAdder]

12. I'm almost certain Donald had something to do with Freddy's death, so he could be the #1 son.

.

He's too much of a sadistic fuck to remain #2.

[Aristus]

2. I can't imagine anyone who wasn't just like him wanting to claim kinship.

If they are decent human beings, they've probably changed their names and live far from the spotlight.

[lunasun]

3. He had a brother that died. this addreses siblings

[smirkymonkey]

8. I've heard about that. It was very tragic.

He was probably the most decent person in the family and just couldn't deal with the father and having to live up to Donald's reputation. What a horrible family!

[lunasun]

9. The link mentions the father forced all to be over achievers. Donald found some ways to cheat

Worst fact that he dicked around his brother’s sick child

[Turbineguy]

4. If I was his brother I'd have changed my name.

Mengele or something.

[treestar]

5. They don't make their way to the limelight

which they could and would if they were like him. So I imagine they are trying to live their own lives without too much disruption from the Donald. He does not mention them or boast about them, either, interestingly.

7. Here is the wiki link for the whole family

You will have to scroll down to check out the brothers and sisters.

10. I remember a disabled nephew left behind by the brother. He needed expensive medical care

and Don footed the bill until he got in a snit about something and cut him off. No idea what happened after that.

[smirkymonkey]

11. I heard about that too. What a horrid man.

To take out your resentment on a child who is suffering from a debilitating disease. What kind of person does such a thing?

[yonder]

17. not a person, it's...it's...donald j. trump

[Mc Mike]

15. 4 of them, he ate in utero.

He was originally quintuplets.

That explains why he eats so much now, he's eating for 5.

Also, explains why he regards himself as such a winner, he defeated the rest of the 'competition' in the womb.

[smirkymonkey]

16. Explains a LOT.

I don't doubt it at all. He is a sick, sick fuck.

[Mc Mike]

18. His judge sister was 'accidentally' assigned the case against the convicted drug

trafficker that D rump employs, Joe Weichselbaum.

Her hubby was the guy who lost the repugs' case against the '82 Consent Decree being levied against their party, nationwide, due to the many election felonies their party pulled in New Jersey.

[smirkymonkey]

19. Very interesting.

That family is rotten to the core. If only the grandfather had served ln the military like he was supposed to and died in combat we would not have this disgusting, evil family on our hands now.

[Mc Mike]

20. The family are scum. Like the BFEE, but even worse.

I'd like to hear about Melanoma's brother. Julia Ioffe just mentioning he existed was enough to set the online nazi dRump fans off into peroxisms of violent death threats against her and her family.

[yonder]

21. That's funny! Another storyline for one more Alien sequel, perhaps?

[Mc Mike]

22. I say Sigourney takes off and nukes the entire site from orbit, right at the start.

It's the only way to be sure..
