Fred Trump compares uncle’s Arlington scandal to end of Godfather 2 in brutal expletive-filled takedown

Fred Trump III has slammed his uncle Donald Trump over his controversial visit to Arlington National Cemetery, saying he “doesn’t give a s***” about US service members and likening his actions to the ending of The Godfather Part II.

The former president’s nephew spoke to MSNBC‘s Deadline: White House on Monday amid the ongoing backlash Trump is facing over the visit where he posed with a thumbs up at the graves of fallen soldiers, his campaign staffers allegedly shoved a cemetery official, and the team filmed a campaign video – against Arlington’s rules.

This scandal comes after Trump has long been haunted by the phrase “draft-dodger” for years, as he was excused of skipping out on military service in 1972 on account of bone spurs in his foot – something that many, including his nephew, have claimed was a deliberate move to avoid being drafted into the Vietnam War.

When asked by host Nicolle Wallace why he thinks people in the military support his uncle given the controversies, Fred said: “I have no idea and I know many people who are in the military.”

“I had the pleasure of speaking on an interview with National Defense radio,” the Trump family member said.

He continued: “I told the truth, I basically told this story, and I said he just doesn't give a s*** about them, he just doesn't.”

Fred went on to compare his businessman uncle’s stance to the ending of the iconic Francis Ford Coppola movie.

“It’s the great ‘Godfather II,’ one of the last scenes when Sonny says, ‘Country ain’t your blood, kid.’ And Michael Corleone says, ‘No, I don’t believe that,’” he said.

“Donald believes in Donald,” he added.

The GOP presidential candidate has been facing backlash for over a week now, after he visited Arlington National Cemetery
