Fred C. Trump III, the nephew of former President Donald Trump, will release a memoir in the coming months that delves into the Trump family and could potentially impact the upcoming presidential election.
The book, titled “All in the Family: The Trumps and How We Got This Way,” is scheduled to come out on July 30 from Gallery Books, an imprint of Fred’s publisher, Simon & Schuster.
Fred Trump III has largely remained out of the public eye in the past and has not vocally criticized the former president, unlike his younger sister Mary, who released a memoir in 2020 called “Too Much Never Enough,” which gave insight into the conflicting story of Donald Trump’s family history and rifts between family members. Her follow-up, “Who Could Ever Love You: A Family Memoir,” will be published in September.
Fred and Mary Trump are the children of the former president’s older brother, Fred Trump Jr., who suffered from alcoholism and died from a heart attack in 1981.
According to his publisher, Fred Trump III was motivated to tell his family’s story due to the upcoming election, and suggested that his book could “shape the trajectory of a nation.” Gallery described the memoir as a “candid and revealing” account of what it was like to grow up in the Trump family, noting that the book will include “never-before-told stories” that shed “a light into the dark corner of the Trump empire.”
This memoir follows many years of conflict within the Trump family, particularly the lawsuit filed by Mary and Fred Trump after the death of their grandfather, Fred Trump Sr., in 1999. In the suit, the siblings contested his will, arguing they had been cheated out of their inheritance by their father’s siblings. As the legal battle ensued, Donald Trump and his siblings cut off financial assistance that was going toward medical bills for Fred Trump III’s son William, who was born with an acute medical condition and diagnosed with developmental and intellectual disabilities. According to Gallery, Fred Trump III’s memoir focuses heavily on this conflict and how it endangered his son.
Gallery has declined to share more about the memoir beyond a brief description, and Fred Trump III declined to be interviewed, according to his publisher.
