Trump’s brother dies in New York.

United States of America President Donald Trump announced on Saturday that his brother Robert Trump has died.

The controversial president issued a statement in New York City after white officials had earlier on confirmed that his brother was seriously ill, before he went in to visit him.

“It is with heavy heart that I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight. He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again. His memory will live on in my heart forever. Robert, I love you rest in peace,” Said the republican who has been accused on several occasions of being racist.

The youngest of the Trump siblings had remained close to the 74-year-old president and, as recently as June, filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Trump family that unsuccessfully sought to stop publication of a tell-all book by the president’s niece, Mary.

71 year old Robert Trump had reportedly been hospitalized in the intensive care unit for several days that same month.

His death now leaves a hollow in the Trump’s family as the United States is marred heavily with politics, majority of who want Donald out of the office, while some, still believes he has a chance.
