Donald Trump held a private funeral service at the White House Friday for his younger brother Robert who died last week one day after the president flew to New York to be by his bedside.

The First Lady, dressed in a midi length belted black dress and black court shoes, comforted her grieving husband clutching tightly onto his hand.

This is the first time a funeral service was held at the US seat of government since President John F. Kennedy's funeral following his assassination back in 1963.

Pallbearers carried the casket - which was adorned with white floral wreaths - to a waiting hearse.

Family and friends of Robert - who died Saturday after 'suffering brain bleeds from a recent fall' - followed his body down the steps and watched as it was driven away.

Behind the president and First Lady was Robert's widow Ann Marie Pallan Trump, 55, - who he wed back in March - who looked on tearfully.

She was joined by Donald and Robert's sister Elizabeth Trump Grau, 78, and her husband James Grau, 84, a former film producer and one-time events executive at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach.

Elizabeth choked back tears while bagpipes played Lord Lovat’s Lament in the background - a tribute to the family’s roots as their late mother Mary Anne MacLeod came from Scotland.

They were joined by the president's children who were all pictured on the steps of the White House to pay their respects to their uncle.

Barron Trump towered over his siblings Donald Trump Jr. and girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner, Eric Trump and wife Lara and Tiffany Trump.

DNC Features Convicted Murderer Who Squeezed Victim’s Testicles with Pliers

Donna-Hylton-640x480.jpg


At the Democrat National Convention (DNC) this week, a convicted murderer and kidnapper implicated in a gruesome 1985 torture and killing case was featured as a “criminal justice reform advocate.”

Donna Hylton, a 55-year-old Jamaican-American who was abused and molested as a child, was given a short slot in a DNC video montage where supporters of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden recited the Preamble of the Constitution.

Hylton was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison after she participated with six other people in the brutal kidnapping, torture, and murder of Long Island, New York, real estate broker Thomas Vigliarolo, 62-years-old, in 1985.

The New York Times, in 1985, reported that Hylton and six others had kidnapped Vigliarolo and held him for a $435,000 ransom for about two weeks before murdering him. His body was found locked inside a trunk in an apartment in Manhattan.

The Washington Post reported on the case in 2018, noting Hylton’s links to the Women’s March:
​
In 1985, a Long Island real estate broker, Thomas Vigliarolo, was brutally killed. Seven people were arrested on charges of kidnapping and second-degree murder. One was Donna Hylton, 20, who was sentenced to 25 years to life for her participation in the crime, during which the 62-year-old victim was starved, burned and beaten over the course of more than two weeks. His body was later put in a footlocker to decompose.​
​
Many of the details of the case were revealed in a July 1995 report from Psychology Today. During the group’s torture of Vigliarolo, they squeezed his testicles with pliers, shoved a metal rod into his anus, and would beat him periodically.

David Limbaugh: Obama attacks on Trump are petty, personal, dishonest and divisive
Click to expand...
There is an unmistakable level of hypocrisy and an absence of self-awareness just in the headline alone. Donald Trump launches petty, personal, dishonest and divisive partisan attacks against his opponents practically every day on Twitter. Trump calls people pejorative nicknames which often get very personal in nature. He ridicules people for their physical appearance. He has even retweeted proven lies about people. Since when has the truth, prevented Trump from levying a good insult at someone he doesn't like? Basically, if you can't take it, don't dish it out.
