Robert Trump, the younger brother of the US President is seriously ill in hospital in New York. No details have been provided as to his illness, so we don’t know if he has COVID-19, but the President has been to visit him. Robert is in intensive care. It’s been reported that Robert spent more than a week in intensive care back in June, so it seems unlikely that he has coronavirus. He is a staunch ally of his brother ‘I support Donald one thousand percent,’ Robert Trump has said.

Mary Trump the author of the recent tell all book about the family, Too Much and Never Enough, is the daughter another brother, Fred Trump Jr, who died in 1981 aged 43 after a long battle with alcoholism.

The President wore a mask while visiting his brother in hospital.

Victoria’s recorded four fatalities and 303 cases of COVID-19 overnight. Brett Sutton said he is hopeful that the daily numbers will be in the 200s next week.
