They never said what Trump's brother died of?

Embarassment.

Greed.

It's genetic.

I suspect we'll see Robert's death certificate around the same time we see Donald's tax returns.

I never gave it much thought, but since they did keep it SO quiet about the cause, methinks maybe it was covid.

He died of Bookdealitis.

His brother is Donald Trump. And you wonder what he died of????

I thought it was health issues caused by alcoholism...?

I thought death records were public ?

Melania gave him a fatal STD.

He probably had a heart attack while screwing some hooker.

R1 Damn, beat me to it.

AIDS?

COVID-19

Obvi AIDS.

Can you imagine what a scandal it would bed if he did die from COVID-19 when Donal Trump calls it a hoax?

GRID?

You notice no one in the media ixx as pursuing the truth.

Typos!!! “in the media is”

Hello, TMZ? You people are famous for getting death certificates.

Requirements

Who is eligible to get a copy of a death certificate?

The spouse, parent, child or sibling of the deceased

Other people who have a:

documented lawful right or claim

documented medical need

New York State Court Order

If you are not the spouse, parent, child or sibling of the deceased you must document a lawful right or claim. For example, you may need a death certificate to claim a benefit. You would need an official letter from the agency saying you need the death record to process the claim.

Shame

Death certificates / records are SUPPOSED to be a matter of public record, R8, but (a) the law might vary from state to state, and (b) we're dealing with the Trumps, who are quite possibly the sleaziest and most secretive family on the planet.

I once made a Freedom of Information Act request in order to learn the cause of death of an unmarried, Ultra-Right-Wing-Looney-Toon mayor of a southern suburb of Chicago, who kicked over in his early 30s "after a long illness."

I know you'll all be as shocked as I was to learn he died of - drum roll, please -AIDS.

Continual and untreated exposure of STDs.

The niece must know.

I did read in (I think) the online WAPO (although it could have been the online NYT) first ting that morning that Robert Trump had died from COVID, but when I went back to look at it a couple of minutes later to send it to a friend, it was gone.

And you expected what...?

R19 isn't TMZ right wing now?

He had earlier - in June - been discharged from the Mt Sinai neurological ICU in NYC. The family said he’d had a brain bleed from a fall.

If true.

If not, likely the Covid.

r22, I want to party with you, you sexy sexy beast. I love that you did that, you are a stud.

Even with the structure of NY law, wouldn’t a judge grant a FOIA request on this? It actually IS in the public interest. The hypocrisy I mean.

He "fell", like Jeffrey Epstein?

He was Donald's food taster.

Plague. We all know it.

Spontaneous combustion

Duh! It was covid, otherwise why all the secrecy?

Yeah, but r33, it’s not enough to just gossip about it. I need the receipts, I need them in a primal way. Who here will use FOIA on this?!?!?

So severe and sudden - I hope it was neurosyphilis which jumped to the brain.

I'm really surprised that Mary Trump hasn't spoken out about her uncle's death, I'm sure she knows the cause

Was his brother the sixth person?

[quote] The president was asked by one prospective voter what the most difficult challenge of his presidency has been, and what he learned from it.

[quote] "I learned that life is very fragile. I knew people that were powerful people, strong people, good people, and they got knocked out by this, and died — six people," Trump said. "It was five until about two weeks ago, now it's six."

[quote] "But I've learned that life is very fragile, because these were strong people, and all of a sudden they were dead; they were gone," he continued. "And it wasn’t their fault. It was the fault of a country that could have stopped it."

After WWII many men came home with VD. NYC Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia had "Cause of Death" blackened-out on copies of the death certificate to spare the families from knowing their son died of Syphillis. That rule no longer applies, but death certificates are not available to anyone who asks, you must have a legal reason.

Do you think he will ever speak to his sister again?

They ground his corpse and fed it to Barron to preserve the white bloodline of cannibalistic superiority.

[quote] I thought it was health issues caused by alcoholism...?

That was Fred Jr.

R29 and Roger Ailes who fell at home after he fell from grace at Fox.

r38, I understand that, but surely a journalist can make the case that this is a matter of national importance. It is. If his brother died of COVID, I want to see that shit up in Times Square. I want pictures of his brother’s death certificate tattoed on my ass. I want to hear insiders describe how Trump responded, repeat everything he said, basically pull his pants down in front of the world. SQUEEZE.

If the president died of Covid I could see the national interest in knowing the truth. His brother is a private citizen. The desire to make political hay out of a private citizen's cause of death would not be supported by the courts.

Bullshit r44. It’s done all the time, going back forty or fifty years.

[quote] It’s done all the time,

What reason would anyone requesting his death certificate give to the court? What public interest wold be served by obtaining and publishing it?

The interest is that we have a President who is saying a) all Americans will be vaccinated before 2021, b) he continually “downplays” the virus, c) what he says and does in private is literally the polar opposite of what he tells the public. So if his brother died of COVID, it is INDEED in the public interest to hear how Trump responded to this illness and death. There is no doubt in my mind that if it was COVID, Trump did and said a bunch of shit that undermines what his actual policies are. The disconnect between what he says in his speeches versus what he actually thinks and says privately are important to the public.

My first view a hemorrhagic stroke, given the suggestiveness presented in the media, though not saying it directly. But later I considered Covid-19 was a possible reason because of the secretiveness involved.

Given the speculation about DJT may have had mini-strokes prior, he would not want any family disclosures about strokes.

[quote]The disconnect between what he says in his speeches versus what he actually thinks and says privately are important to the public.

But can you sell that argument to a judge? Can you come up with a legal foundation for it?

Henry Cain wants to know if Robert Trump has died from the COVID-19 hoax.

R43, you're a BLABBERMOUTH !!!!!

Maybe he died on the table during gender reassignment surgery.

A cautionary tale for our dear Cait.

r49, I do believe that it is challenging but possible. A talented attorney could easily connect the dots by a) proving other examples of Trump’s policy vs contradictory behaviors, and b) cite other examples of journalists receiving FOIA for various other equally challenging requests. I believe the right attorney with the right judge could grant this.

But shit, how about just a good old fashioned leak? Someone needs to get a copy and send it out. That would satisfy me too. I mean, Obama had to produce a birth certificate, why can’t we see a death certificate??? Furthermore, yes he wasn’t a government official, but he DID sue Mary Trump to stop her revelations.....doesn’t that give some leverage? He inserted himself into the public arena by suing Mary.

Death certificates are public.
