The White House confirmed his death in a statement from the president released on Saturday evening, during which Trump remembered his younger brother not only as a loved family member, but as his “best friend.”
“It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight. He was not just my brother, he was my best friend,” said the president in a written statement. “He will be greatly missed, but we will meet again. His memory will live on in my heart forever. Robert, I love you. Rest in peace.”

During a press conference on Friday evening, Trump told reporters at the White House that he had a great relationship with his younger brother, who he said was “having a hard time” in the hospital. The reason for Robert Trump’s hospitalization wasn’t clear.
According to ABC News, Robert Trump also spent over a week at Mount Sinai hospital’s intensive care unit in New York City back in June, when he was treated for an unspecified condition.
Politicians started extending condolences to the president and his family beginning on Saturday evening, shortly after Robert Trump’s death was announced by the White House.
“Tonight, we are lifting up [Donald Trump] and his entire family in prayer, as they grieve the loss of Robert Trump,” said Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX). “May God’s Peace and Grace be upon you.”
