In a shocking tell-all memoir titled "All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got to Be This Way," Fred C. Trump III, nephew of former President Donald J. Trump, makes startling claims about his uncle's behavior, including racist remarks and callous attitudes towards disabled individuals. The New York Times obtained a copy of the book, which sheds new light on the complex relationship between the two family members.

The memoir follows in the footsteps of Fred C. Trump III's sister, Mary Trump, who published her own critical book about their uncle just months before the 2020 election. Fred had initially slammed his sister's work, but now, he appears to be revealing what he calls the harsh truth about Donald J. Trump.

Fred Trump, 61, describes himself as fairly close to his uncle, having attended the 2017 inauguration and visited the White House multiple times. He even includes a picture of himself sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. However, not all his experiences with his uncle were positive.

One chilling revelation in the memoir occurred during a White House meeting where Fred presented a group of advocates focused on disabilities to his uncle. Fred claims that after the meeting, Donald J. Trump pulled him aside and uttered shocking words, suggesting that disabled individuals should die due to the expenses involved in their care.

The author also recounts an incident from the 1970s when he heard his uncle use a racial slur after his car was damaged. These allegations add to previous accusations of Donald J. Trump using the same racial slur during his time as the host of "The Apprentice."

Unsurprisingly, a spokesperson for the Trump campaign has vehemently denied these claims, calling them "completely fabricated and total fake news." Donald J. Trump has previously denied similar accusations as well.

In an attempt to offer a balanced perspective, Fred Trump paints a nuanced portrait of his uncle, highlighting moments of warmth in their relationship. They shared experiences like watching "The Twilight Zone" together and playing catch. Furthermore, the author mentions instances where his uncle provided help and guidance, such as taking him to the police station when his bicycle was stolen or recommending a respected jeweler for an engagement ring.

However, the memoir also elucidates the Trump family's penchant for score-settling and feuding. It delves into the well-documented legal battle that ensued when Donald J. Trump partnered with two of his siblings to exclude Fred and his sister from their grandfather's will.

Fred Trump, who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, admits that his uncle's divisive presidency made it difficult to carry the Trump family name. He claims to have experienced harassment, such as waking up to find dead chickens strewn across his lawn.

The memoir concludes with a curious scene where Fred visits his uncle after he left the White House, expressing concern about the family name becoming "toxic" and hindering his job prospects. The former president allegedly reacted with surprise upon hearing this.

As the publication of "All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got to Be This Way" draws near, it promises to ignite further discussion surrounding Donald J. Trump's character and his relationships within the Trump family. Only time will tell how these revelations will impact the legacy of the 45th president of the United States.
