    I am specifically refraining from expressing my politics publicly, but I do have a question. Borne of curiosity, not to make any point.

    Didn’t his brother die of alcoholism? I thought that’s why he doesn’t drink.

        Sure, but presumably evidence is needed for such an accusation. I’m not saying it didn’t happen, but I’ve seen no other allegations and am asking for evidence.

          I’m not a court of law. My assertion is based off his behaviors combined with his brother being a somewhat useful person who due to being in recovery got more parental attention.

          Remember when someone was in medical distress in the oval office and attention shifted away from him to the emergency? He stood there with his arms crossed glaring like a toddler. He can’t stand not being fawned over.
