The term “all in the family” doesn’t seem to apply to the Trumps — at least as far as votes are concerned.
Fred Trump III, former president Donald Trump’s nephew, is planning to vote for his opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris, in the presidential election, The Hill reported.
His reasoning is her ideas and policies align with his.
“I believe in policy over politics, and without question, Kamala Harris’spolicies are what I get behind,” he said on “The View.” “So I will be voting for Kamala Harris.”
“And if I’m asked, I will campaign for her without hesitation,” he said.
Fred Trump explained the family dynamics to ABC News Tuesday.
He said his uncle does things that are “complex and sometimes cruel.”
“And within every family, people know this, families are complicated. Every family has their crazy uncle,” he said. “My uncle Donald is atomic crazy. And he has put his mark on the family history.
Fred Trump was making his rounds on TV promoting his new book, “All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way.”
The book contains “never-before-told stories” about the Trump famil, including Fred Trump’s complex relationship with his uncle.
A particular sticking point between the two are their stance on people with disabilities.
Fred Trump said his uncle once said people with disabilities “should just die.”
Fred Trump’s son William has a disability and when the nephew told Donald Trump that a medical fund for his son was running low, his response was unexpected.
“Without hesitation [Trump] said, ‘Your son doesn’t recognize you. Let him die and move to Florida,’” Fred Trump said. “My response was, ‘No, Donald. He does recognize me.’”
“Was I surprised? I don’t think you could hear something like that and not be surprised,” he said. “But that is what he has become. It’s sad.”
Steven Cheung, Trump communications director, said Fred Trump’s claims are not true.
“This is completely fabricated and total fake news of the highest order,” he said. “It is appalling a lie so blatantly disgusting can be printed in media. Anyone who knows President Trump knows he would never use such language, and false stories like this have been thoroughly debunked.”
“This is nothing more than a cheap shot to sell copies of a book that belongs in the bargain bin of the fiction section,” Cheung said.
