“It is with heavy heart I share that my wonderful brother, Robert, peacefully passed away tonight,” Trump said in a statement. “He was not just my brother, he was my best friend. 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.”
Some of the president’s critics jumped on Twitter following the announcement to condemn Trump, speculating that he died of the coronavirus and that “COVID took the wrong Trump.”

This is the tweet @maxberger deleted. It exposed him as a dumpster fire person. He doesn’t want to be exposed as such, though it’s not really been a secret. https://t.co/JfHXXi2c9i pic.twitter.com/XnG2hwQSOM

Note that on the day his “best friend” and brother Robert died, @realDonaldTrump played golf and tweeted self-serving conspiratorial bullshit all day. Not even his brother’s death gives this sociopath pause… #Trump

Robert Trump will likely die in the next 24 to 48 hours. Donald Trump couldn’t care less. How you’d like to have that for a brother?

Lord, I know you don’t make mistakes, but are you sure that was the right brother?

Something tells me we’re not going to find out why Robert Trump died and something tells me we all know why.

The hashtag “#wrongtrump” was also trending on Sunday amid the flurry of tweets.
First TV’s Jason Howerton condemned the reaction from the critics, saying they “need Jesus.”
“Trump is not perfect and I’m not full-blown MAGA, but I can tell you this… I don’t want to be anywhere fucking near the side that created “The Wrong Trump” trending topic. Y’all need Jesus. For real,” Howerton tweeted.
