“It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight,” Donald Trump said in a statement. Robert Trump had reportedly been hospitalized in the intensive care unit for several days that same month. Once a regular boldface name in Manhattan’s social pages, Robert Trump had kept a lower profile in recent years. Before divorcing his first wife, Blaine Trump, more than a decade ago, Robert Trump had been active on Manhattan’s Upper East Side charity circuit. The eldest Trump sibling and Mary’s father, Fred Trump Jr., struggled with alcoholism and died in 1981 at the age of 43.
