Before Donald Trump joked that he would shoot people on Fifth Avenue, he empathized with an acquitted, self-professed killer who admitted to cutting off an old man’s head.

“Personally, I think Douglas Durst’s brother got screwed by Douglas—no wonder he’s angry,” Trump tweeted at 2:20 p.m. on Dec. 20, 2013. This, of course, came after the brother in question, Robert Durst, was acquitted of a 2001 murder in Texas in which he admitted cutting off his neighbor Morris Black’s head. Durst is awaiting trial for the 2000 slaying of friend Susan Berman in California.


Trump’s tweet came 14 months before an HBO docuseries put Durst’s violent past back in the spotlight.

In 2003, the same year of his acquittal, Durst allegedly showed up to his brother Douglas’s New York estate with two loaded handguns. He claimed he was contemplating suicide and not considering killing his brother. Durst later trespassed in front of townhouses owned by Douglas and other relatives in 2012 and 2013 and later insisted on a trial instead of spending a maximum 15 days in jail after his arrest.

11. Trump is a rapist and likely a paedo, so it is hardly a shock he surrounds himself with shitbags

5. Did I read it right? Wife disappeared like in '81 and convicted in '21? wow.

Acquitted on another murder like 2003.

7. He claimed self-defense in 2003 murder.

Shockingly, the jury bought it, even though he dismembered the guy and put body parts into Galveston Bay.

9. He was just found guilty

of killing his best friend, Susan Berman, whom he killed in 2000. He killed his first wife in 1982, but was never charged with her murder. Durst was found not guilty of murder in the death of Morris Black although he shot and dismembered Black’s body in 2001.

If you’re into podcasts, Jury Duty: The Trial of Robert Durst is an excellent exposition of the Durst saga.
