Trump’s Brother and ‘Best Friend’ Died Today…Trump Spent the Day Golfing with a Retired Football Player
Robert Trump, the younger brother of Donald Trump, has died at 72 years old.
The president announced the death of his brother late Saturday.
“It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight,” he said in a statement. “He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again. His memory will live on in my heart forever. Robert, I love you. Rest in peace.”
Donald Trump reflected on the relationship he had with his brother, who is only two years younger, at a briefing on Friday.
“I have a wonderful brother, we’ve had a great relationship for a long time, from day one,” he said. “It’s a long time ago. And he’s in the hospital right now. And hopefully he’ll be all right, but he is pretty — he’s having a hard time.”

So what did Trump do today? Was he by his brother’s bedside? Was he consoling his siblings and family members?
NOPE.
Trump was golfing with retired placekicker Jay Feely, as per this tweet:
Had the distinct honor to play golf today with @POTUS and be his partner!
Truly enjoyed talking about our families, politics and his earnest desires for our great country.

First, Trump’s shirt looks like it’s covered in mustard stains, as Trump was most likely shoving hotdogs down his gullet between holes.
Second, Twitter was disgusted:
The President chose Jay Feely, of all people, over being with his dying brother in his final hours. https://t.co/RfiyeK9uFf

Pop quiz. Your younger brother is dying. Over 170,000 Americans have passed away due to a pandemic. Millions of people are without jobs. What do you do?

Yeah and Trump was so distraight over his brother's death that he had to hit the golf course right away where he played with former NFL kicker Jay Feely.

The fact that @realDonaldTrump @POTUS was golfing today with Jay Feely, instead of being with his brother and “best friend” on his death bed tells you everything you need to know about Donald Trump.
Rest In Peace, Robert Trump. pic.twitter.com/cdmWhIMEce

Robert Trump died today. Many people are saying that the wrong Trump died. I'll just say that the Trump family of sociopaths clearly doesn't care about Robert's death; Donald Trump went golfing with Jay Feely today. To hell with them all.

A reminder that Trump knew the brother he calls his “best friend” was on his deathbed today.
Instead of being there with him and his closest remaining family, he played golf all day with ex-NFL players…this one being Jay Feely. pic.twitter.com/HfJpXcZDCd

Trump said he was going to throw the first pitch at the Yankees game but had to cancel it to deal with #Covid_19. Instead, he was golfing with Jay Feely while his brother Robert Trump died in the hospital.

All you need to know about @realDonaldTrump in a nutshell:
Visited his ailing brother in a hospital yesterday. Who apparently was in such poor health he died today.
Yet Trump golfed with Jay Feely and held another press conference/pep rally for his Fox News Fanatics today. SMH

Trump’s brother died on the day he lied about throwing out the first pitch at Yankee Stadium and instead golfed all day with former Bad Giants Kicker Jay Feely. https://t.co/bVO5RXEoE6

Today was the day @realDonaldTrump said he was going to toss the 1st pitch at the @Yankees game. His brother, who he claims was his best friend, just died. Looks like he is mourning. Prayers up for fuckface Trump. As an aside, Jay Feely must be Trump's nickname with hookers. https://t.co/fWf1uv9LR0
