It's been 5 days since the death of Robert Trump who Donald called his "best friend." In hours of interviews since, Donald hasn't told one story about his brother's accomplishments. His own brother's death meant nothing to him. How could a stranger's life have any weight?
There's no proof that Trump visited Robert before he died. There's a photo of Trump in the hospital garage but no photo of Donald hugging Robert's companion Ann Marie Pallan. Also, why has no cause of death been released? Was it #COVID19?
Here's a story that the @nytimes told about Robert Trump but hasn't been mentioned by his brother. It's a lovely family story. Or does Donald thinks it shows weakness because (a) his father Fred had Alzheimer's and (b) Robert was nice to someone who was suffering?
To be fair, @realdonaldtrump just posted this:

It is pretty much the least you can say. And it still doesn't manage anything about his brother. It tells us how Donald feels about his brother.
Also, I just noticed the exclamation point after "Rest in peace!" Who does that? Resting in peace is not something to get excited about. "You're dead!" See? It's weird.
