(Aug 16): President Donald Trump’s younger brother, Robert S. Trump, died on Saturday after an unspecified illness. The president visited his brother on Aug. 14 in New York-Presbyterian Hospital in Manhattan, hours after it was reported that the younger man had been hospitalized. Robert Trump, who was 71, had also been hospitalized in June. Robert Trump was the one of four surviving children of real estate developer Fred Trump, and had been an executive at the Trump Organization. In June he filed a temporary restraining order against his and President Trump’s niece Mary L. Trump, the daughter of their late brother Fred Trump Jr., in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the publication of her book, an unflattering portrayal of the president and his family.
