One of Donald Trump’s nephews has described his uncle as “atomic crazy” in a book about his family.
Fred C Trump III also says the former president used racial slurs and told him disabled people, like his son, should be left to die.
He’s the son of Donald Trump’s older brother Fred Trump Jr, who died in 1981 and the brother of Mary Trump. She wrote her own memoir, which said Donald Trump and his siblings effectively disinherited her and her brother.
We spoke to Fred Trump and began by asking him what role President Trump played in his life.
The Trump campaign has previously responded to the memoir, saying in a statement that stories of Trump using racist language are “completely fabricated”, adding: “It is appalling a lie so blatantly disgusting can be printed in media. Anyone who knows President Trump knows he would never use such language, and false stories like this have been thoroughly debunked”.
