Fred Trump III, nephew of former President Donald Trump, made waves on Tuesday’s episode of The View with startling revelations from his new book, “All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way.” The memoir offers an intimate look at the Trump family’s life, highlighting Fred’s own experiences and revealing a disturbing side of his uncle.
Growing up in Jamaica, Queens, Fred had a close relationship with Donald due to his own father’s struggles with alcoholism. He recounted an incident from his childhood: “I had a bike stolen by three Black kids,” Fred explained. When the police recovered the bicycle, it was Donald who accompanied young Fred to retrieve it. “Donald was — he absolutely wanted to see this kid put in jail,” Fred recalled.
Despite being just 10 years old at the time, Fred objected, not wanting to ruin another child’s life over a bicycle theft, as per The Raw Story. The conversation took a darker turn as Fred described hearing his uncle use racial slurs. “I was there. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever.
Twice, he used the N-word,” he stated firmly. Fred linked this incident to Donald’s later actions, such as his vehement criticism of the Central Park Five, who are now known as the Exonerated Five. However, the most shocking revelation came when Fred discussed his son, William Trump, who was born with a rare genetic disorder causing serious disabilities.
Fred said that when he asked Donald for more money to help with William’s medical care, his uncle’s response was chilling. “Without hesitation, [Trump] said, ‘Your son doesn’t recognize you. Let him die and move to Florida,'” Fred told the visibly shocked hosts. He added, “I don’t think you could hear something like that and not be surprised. But that is what he has become. It’s sad.”
The Trump team quickly dismissed these accusations. Steven Cheung, who handles Trump’s communications, issued a statement calling the claims “completely fabricated and total fake news of the highest order.” Cheung asserted, “Anyone who knows President Trump knows he would never use such language.” Fred has been open about his disapproval of his uncle’s politics. On the show, he declared his intention to vote for Vice President Kamala Harris in the next election.
“I believe in policy over politics, and without question, Kamala Harris’s policies are what I get behind,” he stated. Fred’s book and interviews offer a unique glimpse into the private life of a very well-known political figure. His appearance on The View was part of a media tour for his book. Earlier that same day, he appeared on Good Morning America, where he described his uncle as “atomic crazy” and said he had profoundly impacted the family, according to The Hill.
