Does the Don have a grudge because of the death of Fredrick Trump

[LiberalArkie]

The family story of his death is that "on May 29, 1918, while walking with his son Fred, Trump suddenly felt extremely sick and was rushed to bed. The next day, he was dead. What was first diagnosed as pneumonia turned out to be one of the early cases of the Spanish flu, which caused millions of deaths around the world.[3]:116" At his death his net holdings included a 2-story, 7-room home in Queens; 5 vacant lots; $4,000 in savings; $3,600 in stocks; and 14 mortgages. Altogether his net worth was $31,359 ($528,831 in 2019 dollars).[3]:118 His wife and son Fred continued his real estate projects under the Elizabeth Trump & Son moniker.

1. Pretty sure I read recently that

Humpty Trumpty had no idea until this year that gramps died from the Spanish flu.

2. Don't think so. He never knew his grandfather and his death actually commenced

the so-called Trump legacy. He'd likely be glad about the series of events.

3. That is very interesting.

My theory about what's happening is that he's enraged at the American people for not appreciating what a great president he is and that this, in combination with the fact he botched the coronavirus pandemic and knows it, is causing him to retroactively construct a justification for why the American people actually deserve this as punishment for our lack of appreciating that he's as great as Abraham Lincoln.

Because his pattern is to fail and then justify why it's okay he failed and why the end result worked out okay anyway, and that it was secretly his plan all along to fail, because he's a genius whose failures are secretly brilliant successes that we just are incapable of perceiving because we're so inferior to him.

6. It would be way more interesting if history repeats itself

and the Con followed his grandfather with a hundred year virus

4. No

He never met the guy

5. Donny keeps saying the Spanish flu was in 1917

7. No, fellow feeling, just himself. No knowledge of history. Just, no.

8. He couldn't care less about his grandfather or anyone else.
