Does anybody else think Robert Trump died of covid-19?

[raccoon]

I haven’t heard his cause of death Attributed to anything . And it would certainly be an embarrassment to the Dotard if his own brother died of the pandemic he totally mishandled.

[Wounded Bear]

1. Don't think so...

I believe he was having blood clots. Doubtful they would have let Donnie visit him if it was covid.

[raccoon]

3. Good point. Nt

[safeinOhio]

2. Not really.

He had been in and out of the hospital for cerebral bleeding and blood thinners added to it. Sounds like he bleed to death.
I'll wait for the truth, not big on conspiracy theories. Not sure where I read that, but I would guess Mary Trump will fill us in about her not so beloved uncles.

[Wounded Bear]

4. That sounds about what I heard, too.

They wouldn't let Donnie visit him if it was covid.

15. i waiting for mary as well...

5. Whether it was covid or strokes or neurological, the T family doesn't want us to know

Their father had Alzheimers. Robert reportedly had bleeding in brain from a fall and had been treated in a neurological medical unit. It is highly possible he had some dementia related to his medical condition which could be reason for the secrecy as T would not want public to think he could be susceptible to similar medical problems since T is several years older than 71 yr old Robert.

12. That is what I think too

The cause of death is secret, making me think that somehow it could reflect badly on the Donald. I think Alzheimer or other form of dementia in a younger brother is one possible explanation.

[duforsure]

16. I agree,

I do think trump is suffering from pre-dementia and other neurological issues , and a heart condition, and why they're trying to attack Biden with health issues , because trump is ill, and it shows, and is his pattern.

6. Not sure, but I find it strange that they are not listing an official cause of death.

Whatever it was, it's something that will make Trump look bad. Covid, stroke, dementia, etc.

They will come up with something palatable in the next few days and then it will be published. It won't be the truth.

8. I'm with you.

It seems strange that they didn't give a cause of death to me, too. And I don't know that Trump really "visited" him. He was shown entering the hospital for a brief time, that's all. If Robert Trump was his "best friend", why didn't Trump stay by his side at the end?

I literally don't l know the answer. Was the visit just perfunctory, something he thought was required of him? Could he not get near him? Was Robert Trump already brain dead?

And why did he re-marry just a few months earlier? There is a cone of mystery over it all. My condolences to the family, but it's weird.

9. Great post

Since the Con wants a tax-payer funded funeral, the public will be digging up the details and the first wife's overdose over the house he bought the then mistress son may just be the beginning of the hose drama. First wife's son was adopted by RT and he may go after that house. Would make a great side movie for this sordid family.

10. By the time Donald visited him, Robert may have been unable to communicate.

[smirkymonkey]

23. I know, it's all very strange.

Something that stuck out in Mary Trump's book for me was how he came to visit his mother at the home when she was recovering from one of her illnesses in bed while the younger Mary was there visiting. Apparently he was not very caring or concerned about his mother and was restless and fidgeting, and could only manage to stay for about 10 minutes before he had to rush off and do something more important.

I thought about that when he said he went to see his brother. Like it was an obligation. Something he didn't particularly want to do, but did for show and couldn't wait to be out of there and back on the golf course again. This was his brother and "best friend", yet all he could manage was a perfunctory visit for the purpose of making it look like he was concerned, but I am sure he was no comfort even if his brother was conscious at the time.

The recent marriage of his brother is also curious, seeing as how he had been involved with her for quite a long time. This is a very bizarre family indeed.

19. How would him dying of a stroke or dementia make Donald look bad?

Covid I'd agree with.

[smirkymonkey]

20. Bad genes.

It would make him look bad by association. People would assume that Cerebrovascular or neurological disorders were hereditary. Their father also had Alzheimer's disease so that would kind of blow MF45's boast of having "great genes" out of the water.

7. No. He was in the neuro-something or other ward of the hospital. nt

[hlthe2b]

11. No. he'd been "sick" and on blood thinners for several weeks before admission to a neuro ICU.

a couple weeks back. My best guess, hemorrhagic stroke.

[luvs2sing]

13. From the sound of it..

he died from the same thing that killed my cousin in early March. Oh blood thinners, suffered a fall, then subsequent cerebral hemorrhages. It’s an awful way to go.

[octoberlib]

14. He was on blood thinners , fell, and started bleeding in his brain.

Robert Trump, who took blood thinners, had experienced brain bleeds, which began after a recent fall, according to a family friend. President Trump went to Manhattan on Friday to see his brother at the hospital.

17. Whatever the reason, it was the wrong Trump.

[onenote]

18. A lot of people "think" it, but imo ts unlikely

Trump wouldn't' have gotten near his brother if he had COVID.

[DeminPennswoods]

21. No

Probably a massive stroke if he was on blood-thinners and having brain bleeds.

[BannonsLiver]

22. No

If he died of the virus Trump would be using it. “See, I have suffered and lost family from this virus like so many others.”

He’s not doing that, so he didn’t. It was reported that he fell several months ago and was never right again. In any case, it wasn’t from the virus.
