Editing Fred Trump (section)

===Alleged child abuse===
Fred Trump was described as an authoritarian parent, maintaining curfews and forbidding cursing, lipstick, and snacking between meals. At the end of his day, Trump would receive a report from Mary on the children's actions and, if necessary, decide upon disciplinary actions. He took his children to building sites to collect empty bottles to return for the deposits. The boys had paper routes, and when weather conditions were poor, their father would let them make their deliveries in a limousine.

According to his daughter Mary, Trump emotionally abused his son Fred Jr. to the point of driving him to alcoholism. While Donald, who would become company president in 1971, was told he was a king and taught to be "invulnerable", Fred Jr. was constantly mocked and derided by Fred Sr.. Mary L. Trump states that Fred Sr. "dismantled [Fred Jr.] by devaluing and degrading every aspect of his personality" and mocked him for his decision to become an airline pilot. At age 42, Fred Jr. died from complications caused by his alcoholism.<ref>[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8498179/Donald-Trump-suffered-child-abuse-hands-father-niece-claims-book.html EXCLUSIVE: Trump was victim of 'child abuse' at hands of his father, who 'caused him terror that would scar him for life', claims President's niece who describes Donald as 'Frankenstein's monster' in explosive memoir], ''The Daily Mail''</ref>
