It began thanks to his
grandfather’s early American success, which was continued by Trump’s
father, Fred. Donald Trump would take their family fortune and expand it
more. Trump’s grandfather Frederick (originally Friedrich) first immigrated to the United States in 1885. He was just 16. He did not gain citizenship until 1892. It was shortly after this that grandpa Trump began to build the Trump family fortune. He was a savvy businessman and amassed the Trump family fortune by operating “boomtown” restaurants and boarding houses in the Seattle area and Canada’s Klondike region during the gold rush. . |

In 1958, when they were 12,
Trump and Brant liked to board an E train bound for Manhattan, a distant
land of soaring, exotic promise. They did not ask their parents for
permission for their Saturday expeditions. Manhattan was too far and too
dangerous for two boys from the tranquil, low-slung reaches of Queens. Exiting the train at 53rd Street and Fifth Avenue, Donald and Peter felt like an urban version of Lewis and Clark. They explored Central Park’s bucolic recesses, watched African American men play basketball on courts along the East River and observed the panhandlers and hustlers in midtown. Around Times Square, they discovered novelty shops, where they bought stink bombs, hand buzzers and fake vomit — perfect accessories for pranking their pals. The shops also sold switchblades. On Broadway, “West Side Story” was a smash, and the boys, imagining themselves as gang members, bought knives to fit the part. |

6 | Near the end of seventh
grade, Fred discovered Donald’s knives and was infuriated to learn about
his trips into the city. He decided his son’s behavior warranted a radical
change. In the months before eighth grade, Fred Trump enrolled Donald at
the New York Military Academy, a boarding school 70 miles from Jamaica
Estates. During his years of schooling at the New York Military Academy, Trump participated in numerous sports. He was, in actuality, a sturdy 6 foot, 2 inches tall. According to reports, he played football, tennis, squash, and took up golf. Photographs from the school also show him on the varsity baseball team . |

7 | Helps Fred with real estate in Queens NY | With my father, Fred Trump, in Brooklyn,1975. A great Father’s Day gift—a stay at my 5 star hotel,” Trump wrote in this photo he shared to his Facebook page. It was a happy moment for the father and son business team. But trouble lurked in the background. The Trumps that year settled a lawsuit from the Justice Department that their company systematically discriminated against prospective renters who were African-American. The Justice Department alleged the Trump Organization had screened out people based on race and not economic status. This wasn’t the first time the Trumps settled a case of racial discrimination. The pair was sued in 1969 by the management of a property they owned in Cincinnati, Ohio. Fred Trump directed that lawsuit be “quietly settled,” according to news reports. Despite the setbacks, the business kept chugging along, and Donald Trump soon would find love. … |

Mary Anne MacLeod
Donald Trump's Mother
Before she became Donald Trump's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod was a poor Scottish
immigrant who boarded a steamship bound for America in 1930. With just $50 in
her pocket, she moved in with her sister and worked as a maid — until she
married an up-and-coming businessman named Frederick Trump. After her husband
made a fortune in real estate, her life changed forever. From the finest fur
coats to the most exquisite vacations, Mary Anne MacLeod was truly living the
American dream. But despite her unexpected wealth, she was more than happy to
share with others. She devoted much of her time to philanthropic causes,
including cerebral palsy and aiding intellectually disabled adults, and
continued to do so until the day she died. Discover the little-known story of
Donald Trump's humanitarian mother:
