Aviator

The Resume

    (October 14, 1938-September 26, 1981)
    Born in Queens, New York
    Older brother of President Donald Trump
    Pilot for TWA
    Before and after his career as a pilot, performed maintenance on properties owned by the Trump family

Why he might be annoying:

    He became an alcoholic.
    He flew while under the influence.
    TWA agreed to keep the drunk flying incidents off his record if he resigned.
    In his daughter’s memoir, her earliest memory of him is walking into her parents’ bedroom at age two and seeing him pointing a rifle at her mother, Linda, while laughing.
    Linda eventually divorced him over his insistence on keeping ball pythons as pets despite her fear of snakes.

Why he might not be annoying:

    Donald said about him, ‘Best personality. Much better than mine.’
    At a Thanksgiving dinner, when family matriarch Mary MacLeod Trump started choking, he performed the Heimlich maneuver on her while the rest of the family kept eating.
    Donald and his father mocked his decision to become a pilot, calling him ‘a glorified bus driver.’
    Fred, Sr., would tell him, ‘Donald is worth ten of you.’
    Donald later said he regretted pressuring him to join the family business.
    Donald said watching his brother’s decline from alcoholism convinced him to never drink.
