US President Donald Trump said he "regrets" that he pressured his older brother to take over his father's family business.

The Washington Post (WP) told Trump in an interview that "it wasn't his job," he said. "It was the biggest mistake that everyone thought you would like it. It was like double pressure for you." Reported on 8th (local time).

Unlike President Trump, who had been preparing to take over his father's real estate business as a child, his eldest son, Fred Jr. Trump, had little interest in the family business and tried to become a pilot of Transworld Airlines (TWA).

Trump said he was "wasting time" to his older brother, and his father rebuked him as "hope to be a driver in the sky."

WP reported that Fred Jr.'s neighbors were actually fired for a year in the TWA because of his job at TWA, but there was a lot of stress due to the succession of the family business, and there were tensions with his father as well as President Trump.

Fred Jr. tried to take over the family several times, but it didn't work out. Eventually he died of alcoholism in 1981, 42 years old.

President Trump is famous for not drinking and smoking at all.

In a WP interview, President Trump confessed that his short and tragic life hurt his heart, unlike other events, and that it was not leaving his mind to watch his brother's observance disappear.

Trump said, "I saw alcohol physically added to him and it affected me."

The WP also feared that if Trump had only been drinking once, he would follow his brother. "Let's say I started drinking and I wouldn't be interviewing you now."

Trump was involved in a family lawsuit filed by his family after Fred Jr.'s death, but is now resolved.

In a WP interview, President Trump said that the presidency is giving new meaning and applying his brother's lessons to the fight against addicts, including alcohol, and investing energy and money in the matter, "if I had no experience with Fred," I said. .
