“I Know My Mother’s In Heaven. I’m Not So Sure About My Father” – Trump
Former US President Donald Trump mused on whether his father made it to Heaven as he speculated what the late Fred Trump’s reaction would be to all the criminal investigations against him.
Trump lamented that he was under investigation more than the “great late Alphonse Capone,” to a packed crowd of some 20,000 people at Madison Square Garden in New York City Sunday, October 27.
“My father is looking down on me right now… he was a tough guy. But he was legit. And I know my mother’s in heaven. I’m not 100% sure of my father, but it’s close,” Trump said to laughs from the fired-up crowd.
“They’ve weaponized the Justice Department against their political opponent,” the former US president said.
“But he’s looking down at me right now and he’s saying, how the hell did this happen to my son? He’s not a bad person”
Donald Trump’s father, Fred Trump, died from pneumonia. Fred Trump was a successful real estate developer in New York City and passed away on June 25, 1999, at the age of 93.
Trump has been charged in four criminal cases, involving charges related to election interference, hoarding classified documents, and paying “hush money,” to porn star Stormy Daniels. He became the first president to be convicted on felony charges in May when he was found guilty on 34 counts in the “hush money” case. Sentencing was delayed until after the election.
The former president has also been the subject of multiple civil suits and was sentenced to pay $454 million in a New York civil fraud trial. He was also sentenced to pay sex columnist E. Jean Caroll $5 million in a civil defamation suit.
He has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
