Fred Trump III, President Donald Trump’s nephew, claimed on MSNBC’s “Deadline” Monday that his uncle did not care about members of the U.S. military.
“We spoke the last time we were here about how I had the honor of meeting Senator McCain,” Trump said.
“This is a genuine hero. Let’s make no mistake about it,” he continued.
“The fact that Donald called him, in essence, a loser, I don’t get it.
“But anyone who is disabled or anyone who he deems lesser than him is a loser, which, ok, that’s just the way he is.
“That ain’t gonna change,” he added.
“Why do you think people in the military support him?” Host Nicolle Wallace asked.
“I have no idea. And I know many people who are in the military,” Trump said.
“I had the pleasure of speaking on an interview with National Defense Radio, which goes out to the armed services. And I told the truth.”
“I basically told this story, and I said that he just doesn’t give a sh*t about them. He just doesn’t,” he continued.
“It’s the great Godfather II, one of the last scenes when Sonny says, ‘Country ain’t your blood, kid.’
“And Michael Corleone says, ‘No, I don’t believe that.’
“Donald believes in Donald,” he added.
He later added that Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris should buckle her seat belt because “it’s going to get nastier.”
“What do you think is happening in the country right now?” Host Nicolle Wallace said.
“I think there is a fraying. Look, he had his lock step on his MAGA base. I’ve been saying lately, I’ve never watched ‘The Apprentice,’ the ‘you’re fired’ but he’s looking tired. He’s tired,” Trump said.
“He has his real solid base who’s amped up.
“He has to keep ahead of those people to make it.
“He can’t dance around and play nice.
“So that’s why I cautioned the Harris campaign, buckle your seat belts because it’s going get more nasty than you can even imagine,” he continued.
“The enthusiasm at the convention was great.
“I have all the respect in the world for Joe Biden.
“I don’t think it would have been the same show,” Trump added.
“What do you think he’s capable of? What do you think she should will weary of?” Wallace said.
“Well, besides personal insults, which she brushed back eloquently and smartly last week, he will do anything to stay in power and as I call them the merry band of miscreants surrounding him will do whatever because if they don’t have him I don’t know what they got,” Trump said.

Hey, Freddy Baby! What do networks pay you to ambush your Uncle publicly like this? Or, is this just your moment in the sun?
Were you the pouty kid that didn’t like family Christmases? Didn’t Uncle Donald give you the gifts you asked for?
So, what’s your story, Frederick? How many years were you active duty military? What do you do for a living, Fred III? Are you hurting for money?
Obviously, your comments indicate that you’re a Democrat. You fawn over Biden and Harris. How vested are you in the Leftist’s pursuit of power? Who in the Dem Party is your contact? What promises were made, Freddy? What’s it take to get you to turn on your family?
And why didn’t we hear from you before now? Your Uncle has run for President twice before. Tell me why you waited. Why is this your moment?
These are questions Marxist Media should have asked…but didn’t!
It seems like every family has the oddball relative. I think you’re that one in the Trump family. And, I think you were paid for your mutiny! Was it the network, or the DNC?
It will be interesting to see how many other appearances you’ll make in this regard. Are you planning to work the circuit? I guess we’ll see just what a “Black Sheep” you are!
After a bit of research, I learned Fred is hawking a book! AND…he and his sister are butt-hurt over getting cut out of their grandfather’s will.
Old, bad blood. It’s a money deal!
I think Fred needs to talk to the Vietnam Veterans Against John McCain. They said McCain was a TRAITOR. They called him John “Song Bird “ McCain. He made radio and video propaganda against the United States and the war effort and got preferential treatment of accommodations, food like fruits and vegetables, medical treatment, and night, companionship. They said Songbird McCain never shut up from the first day he collaborated and told the communist any and everything they wanted to know. His fellow captors hated his guts.
