  1. Trump is essentially a 73 year old man who has never matured mentally, intellectually, emotionally, and socially past the age of a prepubescent child. It's this lack of growth, cognitive capacity, and impulse control that has come to define him and his presidency. He is basically an indecent human being, who seems to possess every character flaw known to mankind.. Trump tried to rewrite his father's will in 1990 to strengthen his position as the only person to inherit his father's estate. But Fred Trump foiled the attempt, as he feared his son could strip his estate and use it to rescue his own failing businesses, The Times reported, citing depositions and other documents it obtained. Trump had sent his father a document that would make him the sole executor of the estate and protect his portion of his inheritance from creditors and his impending divorce settlement. Despite his father's will having already been written by a top real estate lawyer, Trump had his own lawyers draft a new copy and sent it to his father in December 1990. Trump sent his father the 12-page document and asked him to sign it immediately. Fred Trump, then 85 and terminally ill, was in the hospital, had not seen the document before, and saw the move as an attempt to go behind his back. He showed the document to his daughter Maryanne Trump Barry, a federal judge at the time. She recalled in her deposition that he told her, "This doesn't pass the smell test," The Times reported. Then Fred Trump had lawyers draft new documents stripping his son of sole control of the estate. Notes from those lawyers show that Fred Trump's instructions were to "protect assets from DJT, Donald's creditors." Sworn depositions made by unnamed members of the Trump family during a dispute over Donald Trump's nieces' and nephews' inheritance were obtained by The Times. Those depositions showed that Fred Trump believed the document his son wanted him to sign would put his vast business empire at risk. Had his father signed the document, which he did not, it also would have given Trump sole control over his dying father's estate.. Fred Trump was, according to the sworn Trump family testimonies obtained by The Times, angered by his son's attempt to rewrite his own will without his prior knowledge or consent. If Trump would do this to his own father and siblings, what do you think he would do to the country and the American people? If Trump's own father and siblings couldn't trust him, why on earth should the American people trust him?

  2. Trump likes to get his way, and he’s not above cutting off a sick infant’s health coverage to make it happen. The story begins after the death of Trump’s father, Fred Sr., in 1999. As David Cay Johnston explains in his book The Making of Donald Trump, Fred Sr. had written a will after the death of his oldest son, Fred Jr., known as Freddy, in 1981. The will left the majority of Fred Sr.’s wealth to Donald and his surviving siblings. Freddy’s family was largely cut out. When Fred Sr. died, Freddy’s children sued, claiming that the will “had been ‘procured by fraud and undue influence’ by Donald and the other surviving siblings,” according to Johnston. Johnston writes that medical insurance had consistently been provided to the family through Fred Sr.’s company. This coverage was crucial for Freddy’s grandson (Donald’s grandnephew), who suffered from seizures and later developed cerebral palsy. So crucial, in fact, that a letter sent from a Trump lawyer to the insurer after the patriarch’s death in 1999 said that “all costs” for the sick child’s care should be covered, regardless of caps on the plan or medical necessity, according to Johnston. That didn’t last long.. A week after the lawsuit was filed in court, Freddy’s son (Donald’s nephew) received a letter informing him that the health insurance would be discontinued, meaning his ill son would be left without coverage. Donald openly admitted to the New York Daily News that he and his siblings took this action out of revenge. “Why should we give him medical coverage?” Trump said, adding, “They sued my father, essentially. I’m not thrilled when someone sues my father.”  Trump explained that his late brother’s family didn’t receive much in the will because their father wasn’t fond of Freddy’s ex-wife.
