US President Donald Trump's younger brother, Robert Trump, died Saturday night (US Eastern Time) after being hospitalised in New York, the president said in a statement. He was 71. 9News
Both longtime businessmen, Robert and Donald had strikingly different personalities. Donald Trump once described his younger brother as "much quieter and easygoing than I am," and "the only guy in my life whom I ever call 'honey.'"
Robert Trump began his career on Wall Street working in corporate finance but later joined the family business, managing real estate holdings as a top executive in the Trump Organisation. Robert Trump, the younger brother of President Donald Trump, is hospitalised in New York, the White House confirmed.
"When he worked in the Trump Organisation, he was known as the nice Trump," Gwenda Blair, a Trump family biographer, told The Associated Press. "Robert was the one people would try to get to intervene if there was a problem." He avoided the limelight during his elder brother's presidency, having retired to the Hudson Valley. But he described himself as a big supporter of the White House run in a 2016 interview with the New York Post.
