Every time Donald Trump mocks someone good or decent or kind, I think of the 'Good Son', Mary's dad,
Frederick Crist Trump, Jr., his father's name sake and constant disappointment because he was, well, decent. Here's a bit from Wikipedia. He was the polar opposite of Donald.
First, there's this, which must have burned Fred, Sr's ass. 'Fred Jr. attended Lehigh University and joined a historically Jewish fraternity, Sigma Alpha Mu, even though he was not Jewish. He became president of the fraternity and graduated with a B.A. in business, also completing ROTC and entering the Air National Guard as a second lieutenant.'
Then there's this. 'Fred Jr. left the company to pursue his dream of being a pilot, quickly being accepted at Trans World Airlines, which created tension with his father. According to Fred Jr.'s daughter, Mary L. Trump (born 1965), her grandfather "dismantled him by devaluing and degrading every aspect of his personality." Both Fred Sr. and Donald mocked him for his decision to become an airline pilot, comparing it to driving a bus or being a chauffeur.'
He was everything Donald and Fred, Sr. were not. He earned his degree, it wasn't purchased for him. He wasn't a bigot. He was a Second Lieutenant in the Air National Guard. He was a commercial airline pilot, part of a small elite group of highly skilled men and women.
On September 26, 1981,at the age of 42, he died from a heart attack caused by his alcohol use.' Driven to it, I'm sure, by the constant belittling he took from the people who were supposed to love him.
A sad ending to a man any father would be proud of, except his own.
