Fred Trump III, Donald Trump’s nephew, claimed on MSNBC’s “Deadline” Monday that his uncle, former President Donald Trump, 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. 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,” Trump said.
“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.
