The Trump family gained a
fortune thanks to Donald Trump’s grandfather, who operated “boomtown”
restaurants and boarding houses in the Seattle area and Canada’s Klondike
region during the gold rush. In 1902, Mr. Trump married Elisabeth Christ. In
1905, they resettled in New York, where they would stay the rest of their
lives. That year, 1905, was also the year Donald Trump’s father, Fred, was
born. Fred Trump went to work in the family real estate business when he was
15. In 1923, Fred Trump and his mother founded E. Trump & Son, which
operated mostly in the Queens and Brooklyn boroughs of New York City. Fred
Trump married Mary Anne MacLeod in 1936. They had five children together.
From an early age, young Donald would prove to be one who followed his own
rules.

Donald is born |
Donald John Trump was born on
June 14, 1946, to parents Fred Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod. The pair had
married 10 years earlier. Donald Trump was the fourth of five children. He
was born at the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center in Queens, New York. Trump’s
family originated from Germany on his father’s side and Scotland on his
mother’s side. 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 West. |

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. … |
