What? Died at 42 of alcoholism. Maybe an airline pilot for 8 years? Closer to a ne'er-do-well than anything else. So sad when people don't live up to their abilities.

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.

Pretty much everyone in the current executive administration is a former Democrat.

Food for thought.

Probably a case not unlike most of my family, "we didn't leave the Democratic Party, they left us"

My family- about 1/3 skilled post WWII immigrants from Eastern Europe, 1/3 farmers, 1/3 labor, mostly union.

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?
