Trump's nephew tells 'The View' of how uncle tried to throw Black kid in jail

Donald Trump's nephew Fred Trump III spoke with the women of "The View" on Tuesday about his new book, which describes life in the Trump family — with close focus on his uncle.

The younger Trump writes in his book that he was very close to his uncle as his father, an alcoholic, wasn't available to his children.

On Tuesday, he told a story of when the young Fred III's bicycle was stolen by a group of kids. When it was found, it was Trump who went with his nephew to pick it up.

"I grew up in Jamaica Queens," he told host Sunny Hostin. "Me and my grandparents and Donald and my father. Regardless, I had a bike stolen by three Black kids. And unfortunately, my dad wasn't around at the time.

"So, the police called and said we found your bike. My mom asked Donald if he could go to the police station with me. And they had this kid, and I remember he was my age, and Donald was — he absolutely wanted to see this kid put in jail."

Trump's nephew recalled saying that he didn't want to ruin the kid's life at just 10 years old.

"The View" hosts developed the story with instances of racism that Fred Trump describes in his book.

"When you were a preteen, you write about hearing your uncle Donald Trump use the worst racial slur twice while ranting to you about his car being damaged, and you're not the first person to claim that Donald Trump trafficked in this kind of language, right?" Hostin asked.

The younger Trump replied, "I was there. I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever. Twice, he used the N-word."

"Now, to put it into context, and what troubles me even more than that is that he did not know who slashed the roof of his El Dorado," said the younger Trump.

He then linked the two stories together with Trump's condemnation of the Central Park Five, now the Exonerated Five, who were wrongfully convicted of attacking a woman.

"Flash forward, 17 years ago, Central Park Five, five kids who were found, were exonerated, he screamed out for the death penalty in a full page ad," he said.
