Speaking with hosts Katty Kay, Jonathan Lemire, and morning regulars Ex-Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and the Rev. Al Sharpton, Fred Trump detailed the severe disabilities afflicting his son William and how his uncle was disgusted by him.

"Donald has never met William, ever," he began. "In fact, no one in the Trump family other than two of my cousins have met William. So when he said what he did to me when a fund that had been set up for William's health, for his therapeutic needs, and — I just want to clear something up. The reason a fund existed is because Donald orchestrated a plan to take my sister and me out of my grandfather's inheritance which went back days after William was released after seven weeks in hospital."

"You have to understand that Donald was my trustee. he was my trustee which meant he was supposed to protect me and my family," he continued. " He did the exact opposite. So the fund was my money but I had to ask for it back which was troubling. So when the fund was running low, I called Donald and I mentioned that, and he said your son doesn't recognize you, let him die and move to Florida."

"Now I don't know how you can explain that away, the cruelty of that comment," he added.

"But as you'll read in 'All In the Family' he had said something very similar in our last Oval Office meeting with a group of [disability] advocates," stated. "He had called me back into the office when everyone dispersed and said 'Those people, all those expenses, they should just die,' so it's hard to wrap your head around that."
