President Trump said this about his brother Fred, "He is a great guy. Best-looking guy, Best personality — much better than mine. But he had a problem. He had a problem with alcohol. He would tell me, ‘Don’t drink.’”

On thursday October, 2017,  President Trump talked about the death of his older brother Fred from alcoholism, and about how it helped him shape his value.  Standing at the White House, President Trump said this about his brother friend “ He is a great guy.” “Best-looking guy,”  “Best personality — much better than mine. But he had a problem. He had a problem with alcohol. He would tell me, ‘Don’t drink.’”

“He was substantially older, and I listened to him,” the president said. “And to this day, I’ve never had a drink, and I have no longing for it. I have no interest in it. To this day, I’ve never had a cigarette.” He had a very, very, very tough life because of alcohol,” the president said. “He was a strong guy, but it was a tough, tough thing that he was going through. But he really helped me. I had somebody who guided me. I learned because of Fred.”

“This was an idea that I had — where if we can teach young people not to take drugs, just not to take ‘em, “I think that’s going to end up being our most important thing — really tough, really big, really great advertising so we get to people before they start. So they don’t have to go through the problems.” “When I see friends of mine that are having difficulty with not having their drink at dinner, where it’s literally almost impossible for them to stop, I say to myself ‘I can’t even understand it,’” President Trump said. “If we can teach young people and people generally not to start, it’s really, really easy not to take drugs".

I really like that his used his personal story to persuade young people and those struggling with drugs to stop using drugs. I have never seen him speak like this, it was very interesting to see a different side of President Trump.
