Donald Trump’s nephew has broken his decades-long silence as he has spilled intimate family secrets in a new tell-all memoir.
SOME ALLEGATIONS
Fred Trump III, 61, launched a slew of allegations at his uncle in the book, ‘All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got this Way’ – including that Donald told him that his severely disabled son ‘should just die.’
The scandalous book also brands the former president as ‘evil’ for instigating a scheme to cut Fred III out of the family fortune by coaxing his mentally impaired grandfather Fred Sr into signing the paperwork.
Offering newfound details of the famous family’s dysfunction, Fred claims that ‘obnoxious’ young Donald was so disliked by other family members that his siblings used to throw mashed potatoes at him over the dinner table.
The memoir, which is out on Tuesday, comes despite Fred III previously slamming his sister Mary for writing a tell-all book in 2020, which also gave a deeply unflattering account of the former President.
Delving into the Trump family’s dysfunction, he writes that Tiffany Trump had a ‘painful’ childhood because of all the gossip surrounding her mother Marla Maples.
Maples and Trump became a tabloid favorite in the 1990s amid claims of infidelity, with Fred’s aunt Maryanne, a former federal judge, allegedly not a fan of her brother’s second wife.
Fred also writes that Maryannebecame enraged by his time in the White House.
In particular, he claims that Maryanne was so incensed with Donald’s immigration policies she once called them ‘abhorrent’ and uttered: ‘Can you believe the s*** he’s saying?’
WHO IS FRED?
Fred is the son of Donald’s older brother, Fred Trump Jr, or ‘Freddie’ as he was known, who died aged 42 in 1981 after a lifetime of alcohol addiction.
Donald began to take advantage of other people even as a boy, first by stealing other children’s toys and then throwing cake at a dress-up party, Fred writes.

SOME ASSAULTS ON DONALD
He used to annoy his family so much that one time Freddie scooped some mashed potatoes out of the bowl and hurled them at Donald, hitting him squarely on his body.
Another time Freddie played a brutal prank on Donald by putting a snake in his bed even though he knew he was scared of them.
Freddie couldn’t stop laughing when Donald screamed and ran out of his room when he found the reptile, Fred writes.
HOW TRUMP AVOIDED VIETNAM WAR
Although he was sent to New York Military Academy aged 13 and was said to have ‘loved’ the rigorous nature of the school, Fred writes that Donald had one of the biggest scares of his life in 1969 when he faced the prospect of going to war.
It came as the selective draft was introduced for the Vietnam War, which Trump notoriously avoided by claiming to have ‘bone spurs’.
