Donald Trump’s own nephew, Fred Trump III, is slated to release his bombshell new tell-all memoir in the coming days and, already, the pages are telling secrets about the former president that we’re certain Trump hoped would never see the light of day.
This week has already seen damning reporting on Trump’s alleged use of the N-word in an expletive-ridden rant over his car being vandalized in the 70s as well as Donald’s suggestion to his nephew to let his disabled son “just die” and “move to Florida” when the younger Trump approached his uncle for help with his son’s mounting medical bills.
Now, it seems the junior Fred Trump has taken aim at his uncle’s claims of “business genius.”

Donald Trump has long loved to publicly and proudly take credit for the business genius behind the infamous Trump name brand. However, his nephew is tearing his ego and facade down brick by brick, as he now reveals that it was actually Donald’s brother who was behind the big idea to use the family name as a brand on its development projects.
Washington Post writer Manuel Roig-Franzia took a deep dive into the secrets tucked away in Fred III’s upcoming memoir, All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way, and notes of the younger Trump’s bombshell revelation about Donald’s business savvy, “The airing of that fact is sure to rankle his Uncle Donald, who loves to take credit for almost everything and to present himself as a business savant.”
As we mentioned, Fred has already exposed his uncle’s racism and apparent nihilistic views when it comes to the disabled community. But, frankly, we all know that’s not going to cause Donald Trump to lose any sleep. However, this particular revelation is what’s really going to send the ex-president’s ego into a freefall — as the younger Fred Trump reveals that his uncle didn’t actually have much, if anything to do with coining the Trump family brand name that Donald has built his real estate empire on.
Instead, it was Fred’s own father, Donald’s older brother, who was the real brains behind the savvy business move.
“Did my father create a monster with that branding suggestion of his?” Donald’s nephew muses in his upcoming tell-all. “Later, of course, his younger brother would run away with the idea. Before you knew it, we’d have Trump Tower, Trump University, Trump sneakers, and Trump Bibles.”
Fred III, a notable Democrat and detractor from his ex-presidential and scandal-plagued uncle, tells the story of a toxic family, ripe with petty power grabs and infighting on everything from inheritances to legal disputes, while exposing his uncle for the egomaniac he is, who “couldn’t handle being called a loser” but bears a cowardly streak a mile wide.
WaPo notes in their write-up of Fred’s upcoming memoir that the younger Trump recalled an anecdote from his other uncle, Robert Trump — in which Robert allegedly punched his brother Donald in the face, after Donald won a golf game and began to taunt and ridicule his brother.
However, according to Fred, for all of Donald’s big smack talk, the fight ended with that punch to the face, as the now disgraced former president backed away and refused to put any real weight behind his mean words.
“A lot of tough talk, not too many punches,” the younger Fred writes.
