He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again. His memory will live on in my heart forever. Robert, I love you. Rest in peace.”
Donald Trump looked back on the relationship he had with his brother, who is only two years younger, at a briefing on Friday by saying “I have a wonderful brother, we’ve had a great relationship for a long time, from day one,” he said. “It’s a long time ago.
