President Donald Trump wore a face mask as he visited his younger brother Robert at New York-Presbyterian Hospital on Friday afternoon, staying for about 45 minutes.
US media reports say Robert who is 72-years-old is in a critical condition, but it is not yet revealed what triggered him to be hospitalized.
He used to run the Trump property empire’s real-estate investments.
“I hope he’s okay,” President Donald Trump told reporters en route to the hospital. “He has a tough time. He’s having a tough time.”

He also told reporters: “I have a wonderful brother. We’ve had a great relationship for a long time.”
“From day one. Long time. And he’s in the hospital right now. Hopefully, he’ll be all right, but he’s having a hard time”, President Donald Trump added.
Robert Trump recently went to court in a failed attempt to cease publication of his niece Mary Trump’s tell-all book about the president, How My Family Created the World’s Most Dangerous Man.
