Frederick Christ Trump III, nephew of former President Donald Trump, has released a revealing memoir titled All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way. In the book, Fred uncovers shocking Trump family secrets, particularly describing his uncle Donald as “evil.” During an appearance on ABC News to promote his book, Fred stated, “And within every family — people know this — families are complicated.
Every family has a crazy uncle. My Uncle Donald is atomic crazy. And… he has put his mark on the family history.” Eric Trump quickly responded on social media platform X, criticizing his cousin’s disparaging tone and labeling his work as “garbage.”
Eric wrote, “It’s disappointing that after decades of unwavering love, support, golf memberships, family vacations, and millions of dollars in support for his wonderful son, Fred Trump has decided to ‘cash in’ less than a 100 days before an election. I have signed the checks and witnessed first-hand as my father, and our family, has provided endless financial support so that Fred’s son could receive the best possible medical care.”
Eric continued, “To read this garbage and see that he has now followed his troubled sister simply to earn a quick buck is disgusting, disheartening, and a prime example of ‘no good deed goes unpunished.'” According to The Daily Mail, Fred recounts in the memoir how the young Donald was so despised that his brothers would toss mashed potatoes at him at the dinner table.
Elaborating on the term “atomic crazy,” Fred explained, “It means he does things that, even as much as I know him when he’s out there now, I sort of shudder and say, ‘Is this the same guy I knew?’ What’s making him change? What got him this way? But that all being said, I’ve always had a good relationship. But he’s done really horrific things to me, which some people will say, ‘How could you still want to have a relationship with him?’ He’s my uncle. He’s family, and that means a lot.”
Additionally, Fred’s book includes a chapter titled “The Race Card,” in which he recalls the former president using racist slurs. He writes, “I went down to the driveway of my grandparents’ house, and there was his white El Dorado convertible with two slashes. Still remember it. And he had electrical tape because the roof was black. And he used the N-word, twice just saying who he thought probably had done this.”
In response to these controversial claims, Trump Campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung refuted them, stating, “This is completely fabricated and totally fake news of the highest order. It is appalling a lie so blatantly disgusting can be printed in the media. Anyone who knows President Trump knows he would never use such language, and false stories like this have been thoroughly debunked.”
