Everything Donald Trump Doesn’t Like People to Know About His Life

But he didn’t have a problem usurping his brother’s place

The president didn’t let his empathy for his brother get in the way of business. As The New York Times reports, Fred Jr. was “once the heir apparent to their father’s real estate empire.” But Fred didn’t love the family business. That just made it easier for Donald Trump to ascend the ranks at his father’s company. After Fred Jr. died, leaving behind a family, Donald cut that family out of Fred Sr.’s will. As the Times puts it, the case of Fred Jr. demonstrates “the dangers of failing to conform in a family dominated by a driven, perfectionist patriarch and an aggressive younger brother.”
