Trump visits ailing brother, Robert, at NY hospital

NEW YORK — President Donald Trump paid a visit Friday to his brother, Robert Trump, at a New York hospital after administration officials said the president’s youngest brother was “very ill.”

The president entered New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan wearing a face mask on Friday afternoon.

“I have a wonderful brother,” Trump said at a White House news conference. “We’ve had a great relationship for a long time, on day one. He’s in the hospital right now. Hopefully, he’ll be all right, but he is having a hard time.”

In June, Robert Trump, 72, was hospitalized in the intensive care unit at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York for more than a week.
