When Fred Trump III asked his uncle Donald Trump for money to help with his disabled son's medical care, he says the former U.S. president suggested letting the young man die instead.
After the former president was elected in 2016, Fred and his wife Lisa realized they could use their new connection to the Oval Office to attempt to help the disabled community. He said his cousin Ivanka Trump helped to set up a meeting with the then-president in early 2017, where Fred and a group of advocates made a pitch for better supports for people living with disabilities.
But they discovered that the former president and his two living siblings at the time — Robert Trump and Maryanne Trump Barry — had convinced Fred Sr. to remove them from the will. An ensuing lawsuit was settled out of court. "We were close. Donald was the first person to put a golf club in my hand ... even when my father was alive, he would take me places and we would do things," he said.
Fred said he didn't vote for his uncle in 2016 or 2020, instead casting his ballot for Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, respectively. While his uncle never asked who he voted for, Fred has already made his mind up about this election.
