Children

Trump has five children from three marriages: DonJr., Ivanka, and Eric Trump with Ivana Trump; Tiffany Trump with Marla Maples; and Barron Trump with Melania Trump.

First marriage

See main article: Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump.

Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric are Trump's three eldest children, from his first marriage with Ivana Trump.[15]

Prior to the election, each of the siblings held the title of executive vice president at the Trump Organization. During the campaign, they served as surrogates for their father on national news programs. Following Trump's election victory, all three were named to the presidential transition team.[16]

Following the inauguration, DonaldJr. and Eric took charge of the family's real estate empire. Ivanka moved to Washington, D.C., with her husband Jared Kushner, who was appointed to a senior White House advisory position.[17]

Second marriage

See main article: Tiffany Trump.

Tiffany Ariana Trump (born October 13, 1993) is Donald Trump's only child with Marla Maples. In 2016, she participated little in her father's campaign because she was studying sociology and urban studies at the University of Pennsylvania.[18] Shortly after graduating, she made a supportive speech for her father at the Republican National Convention at age 22.[19] She was awarded a J.D. degree from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. in May 2020.[20]

Third marriage

Barron William Trump (born March 20, 2006)[21] is Trump's youngest child and his only child with Melania Trump. In May 2006, Barron Trump was baptized at the Episcopal church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida.[22] [23] He attended the Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in Manhattan. In addition to English, Barron is fluent in Slovene.[24]

Grandchildren

Donald Trump has ten grandchildren. Son Donald Trump Jr. and his former wife Vanessa have five children, daughter Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, three, and son Eric Trump and his wife Lara, two.[25]

Ancestry

According to biographer Gwenda Blair, the family descended from an itinerant lawyer, Hanns Drumpf, who settled in Kallstadt, a village in the Electoral Palatinate, Germany (then the Holy Roman Empire), in 1608, and whose descendants changed their name from Drumpf to Trump during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).[26] The last name Trump is on record in Kallstadt since the 18th century.[27] Journalist Kate Connolly, visiting Kallstadt, found several variations in spelling of the surname in the village archives, including Drumb, Tromb, Tromp, Trum, Trumpff, and Dromb.[28] Even very diverse variations in spelling are common in German names before standardization as the wider population lacked literacy and names were transcribed from their spoken form rather than copied from documents.

Johannes Trump, born in the nearby village Bobenheim am Berg in 1789, had established himself by the early 1830s as a winegrower in Kallstadt where his grandson, Friedrich Trump, the grandfather of Donald Trump, was born in 1869 (then part of the Kingdom of Bavaria). Several of his descendants also were vintners in Kallstadt, one of many villages in the famous wine-growing region of the Palatinate (Pfalz).[26] Johannes Trump's sister Charlotte Louisa married Johann Georg Heinz. Their son Johann Heinrich (John Henry) Heinz (1811–1891), who emigrated to the United States in 1840, was the father of Henry J. Heinz (1844–1919), founder of the Heinz company and Donald Trump's second cousin twice removed.[29]

This German heritage was long concealed by Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, who had grown up in a mainly German-speaking environment until he was ten years old;[30] after World War II and until the 1980s, he told people he was of Swedish ancestry.[31] Donald Trump repeated this version in The Art of the Deal (1987) but later said he is "proud" of his German heritage, and served as grand marshal of the 1999 German-American Steuben Parade in New York City.

The Trump family in Germany were Lutheran.[32] [33] Donald Trump's parents attended First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Queens, where Trump was confirmed in 1959.[34]

Family tree

Parents

Fred Trump

See main article: Fred Trump.

Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump (1905–1999), born in New York, was a successful real estate developer in New York City.[49] Using their inheritance, Fred Trump and his mother Elizabeth founded E. Trump & Son in 1927.[50] The company grew to build and manage single-family houses in Queens, barracks and garden apartments for U.S. Navy personnel near major shipyards along the East Coast, and more than 27,000 apartments in New York City.[51] Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee for profiteering in 1954,[52] and again by the State of New York in 1966.

Donald Trump became the president of his father's real estate business in 1971, and renamed it the Trump Organization around 1973.[53] That year, Donald and his father were sued by the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for violating the Fair Housing Act.[54] In the mid-1970s, Donald received loans from his father exceeding $14million (later claimed by Donald to have been only $1million).[55] Donald served as the Trump Organization's chairman and president until assuming the office of U.S. president.[56]

Mary Anne MacLeod Trump

See main article: Mary Anne MacLeod Trump.

Born as Mary Anne MacLeod (1912–2000) in Tong, a small village near Stornoway, in the Western Isles of Scotland, she was a daughter of fisherman Malcolm MacLeod and Mary MacLeod (née Smith). At age 17, she immigrated to the United States with $50, and moved in with a sister before starting work as a maid in New York.[57] [58] Mary and Fred Trump met in New York and married in 1936, settling together in Queens. Mary became a U.S. citizen in 1942.[59] While visiting Scotland in June 2008, Donald Trump said in part, "I think I do feel Scottish."[60] [61]

In 1885, Donald Trump's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, emigrated from Kallstadt, Palatinate (then part of the Kingdom of Bavaria), to the United States at age 16. He anglicized his name to Frederick in 1892 when he became a U.S. citizen.[62] During the Klondike Gold Rush, he amassed a fortune by opening a restaurant and hotel in Bennett and later Whitehorse, serving gold seekers on their way to the region; one biographer wrote that the business included a brothel, a portrayal Donald Trump has said was "totally false".[63] On attempting to return, Frederick was exiled by Germany in 1905 for his lack of mandatory military service and not giving authorities notice before his 1885 departure; an appeal was denied.[64] He died in the first wave of the Spanish flu pandemic in 1918. After his death, his fortune was passed on to his wife and son.
