I imagine Trump and Fred SR were dissapointed. As a parent or brother I know I would be.
Maybe ostricizing Fred Jr was warranted. I mean even his wife kicked him out and had the locks changed.
But sure......Trump hates all pilots.
What?
I know it's Wikipedia and not always 100% accurate, but did you read
any of that article? Literally the second sentence says:
"
he fell out of his father's favor when he chose to become an airline pilot" and the very next sentence: "Both Fred Sr. and Donald disparaged Fred Jr. for becoming a pilot."
"According to Fred Jr.'s daughter, Mary L. Trump (born 1965), her grandfather "dismantled him by devaluing and degrading every aspect of his personality." Both Fred Sr. and Donald mocked him for his decision to become an airline pilot, comparing it to being a bus driver or chauffeur."
So he doesn't want to work for his father and instead finds his own way and that's a good reason to ostracize him? Any chance his heavy drinking getting so bad that he lost his job had something to do with his father and brother treating him that way?
