Trump Nephew Says He Said Disabled People “Should Just Die” 2024-07-30T23:15:27-07:00 Kermit Zarley

LOGO Patheos Explore the world's faith through different perspectives on religion and spirituality! Patheos has the views of the prevalent religions and spiritualities of the world.

Donald Trump has a nephew—Fred Trump III. He is the son of Donald’s eldest brother, who died at 42 years of age from alcoholism. Donald has always said this brother’s alcoholism had a profound effect on him to never drink alcohol.

This nephew is the brother of psychiatrist Mary L. Trump. She is a sharp critic of her Uncle Donald. She authored the book, Too Much and Never Enough: How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man. Fred Trump III also has written a book comparable to her sister’s that has just been released and is entitled All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got this Way.

These are immediate family members of Donald Trump who know him far more than most of Donald’s political aids and supporters. I think it is a travesty on Trump voters who refuse to read books like this to find out what Donald Trump is really like. I have Mary’s book and quoted it often in the introduction of my book, Bible Predicts Trump Fall.

Fred Trump III has an adult son who has developmental disabilities. Fred writes in his book that when his Uncle Donald was president, he visited him in the White House about twenty times, sometimes to advocate for people who like his son who have complex disabilities. Fred says that during one of those times in the White House, when he was there to discuss people with disabilities with President Trump, “He just came out with, ‘These people, all the expenses. They should just die.’ He’s talking about human beings who have complex issues, and the first thing he could say was they should just die.”

Fred then adds, “Every family has their crazy uncle. My Uncle Donald is atomic crazy.”

I have some of Trump’s MAGA people in my family. They are not crazy like Trump is. It is difficult for me fathom how they got mesmerized by Donald Trump to be so devoted to him as the U.S. president. I concede it is largely because Trump advocates politically for what they want done. But still—IMO the man is so sick in the head with narcissism that he can’t empathize with people and their disabilities because he is so stuck on himself.

It reminds me of a parable Jesus taught shortly before he went to Jerusalem to be killed, as he predicted plainly multiple times to his apostles. He taught it because, as the author of the Gospel of John says, “He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept” (John 1.11 NRSV).

This parable is in Luke 14.16-24. It begins, “Someone gave a great dinner and invited many” (v. 16). He sent his servant/slave telling the invitees the dinner was ready. But they all made excuses not to come. When the slave reported this, “the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, ‘Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’ And the slave said, ‘Sir, what you ordered has been done, and there is still room.’ Then the master said to the slave, ‘Go out into the roads and lanes, and compel people to come in, so that my house may be filled. For I tell you, none of those who were invited will taste my dinner'” (vv. 21-24).

If Fred Trump III is right about his uncle, Donald Trump, saying that because of the expense of caring for people with disabilities, “They should just die,” what do you think Jesus will say on Judgment Day to Donald Trump about entering into Jesus heavenly house to taste his supper?
