I’m Fred Trump. I am the father of William Trump, a young man with complex disabilities. Donald has never asked, and not once ever met William. Which is, frankly, he’s missed out on a lot, getting to know William. When Donald was inaugurated, I knew that would be an opportunity for me and my wife Lisa to try to use his position as the president to the benefit of folks with intellectual and developmental disabilities. First person we reached out to was my cousin Ivanka. She was great and set us up a meeting with Ben Carson for as you may know housing issues for the disabled are a very tough issue. Throughout the couple of years, met with various other organizations within the executive branch. It culminated in a meeting in the white house in may of 2020. Covid was raging at the time, we were in the midst of an election. We had a final meeting with Donald, just to let Donald know personally, I had called him and said look, I really need you to listen to this okay?And he did and we spent 45 minutes. The meeting dispersed and he called me back in and we chatted for a minute and he goes “You know those people, all those expenses, those people should just die.” That was a brutal thing to hear, on the large scale. But then a few years later we were talking about something and, mentioning William, he goes “Your son doesn’t recognize you, let him die and move down to Florida.”

I don’t know how to explain how somebody could say that about any human being, but to say it about your grand nephew was beyond anything I could imagine.
