FILE - This Sept. 23, 2020, file photo shows President Donald Trump speaking during a news conference in the James Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House, in Washington.

Mary Trump and her brother, Fred Trump III, inherited various real estate business interests when her father, Fred Trump Jr., died in 1981 at 42 after a struggle with alcoholism. It said the action amounted to “unfathomable cruelty” because Fred Trump III's third child, born hours after Fred Trump Sr.'s funeral, was having seizures and required extensive medical care including months in a neonatal intensive care unit. In keeping with a confidentiality clause in a settlement of the dispute over Fred Trump Sr.'s will, lawyers for Mary Trump refused to say how much she received.

Why President Trump Wishes His Relationship With His Late Brother Had Been Different

President Trump is expressing regret over his relationship with his late brother. Fred Trump Jr. died when he was just 42 after suffering a heart attack due to alcoholism. Fred Jr., Trump said, only ever wanted to be an airline pilot, a job he did for just a short time. But the brothers' father, Fred Trump Sr., dismissed the job as little more than "a chauffeur in the sky," the Post reported. The interview is remarkable, Kranish told Inside Edition, because it's one of the few times the president has ever admitted a mistake publicly.
