Melania Trump

Melania Trump (née Knavs), the third wife of Donald Trump, was born on April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia (present-day Slovenia). She had a lengthy modeling career and is the second foreign-born first lady of the United States, the first being Louisa Adams.[13] They were married in 2005. Melania became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2006.[14] She did not immediately move into the White House when her husband became president, but remained at Trump Tower with their son Barron until the end of the 2016–2017 school year.[15] He and his mother moved to the White House on June 11, 2017.

Children

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

First marriage

Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric are Trump's three eldest children, from his first marriage with Ivana Trump.[16]

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.[17]

Following the inauguration, Donald Jr. 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.[18]

Second marriage

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.[19] Shortly after graduating, she made a supportive speech for her father at the Republican National Convention at age 22.[20] She was awarded a J.D. degree from Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C. in May 2020.[21]

Third marriage

Barron Trump with his parents in August 2019

Barron William Trump (born March 20, 2006)[22] 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.[23][24] He attended the Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in Manhattan. In addition to English, Barron is fluent in Slovene.[25]

In 2017 when his father took office as president, Barron and his mother remained in Manhattan to finish out the school year. In June, he and Melania moved to the White House and he enrolled in St. Andrew's Episcopal School, a private co-ed school in Potomac, Maryland.[26] In 2021 when his father left the White House and moved to Florida, he again finished out the school year, then went to Florida and enrolled in Oxbridge Academy, a private college-preparatory high school in West Palm Beach, Florida.[27]

Barron is a fan of soccer. He appeared in an Arsenal F.C. jersey and met D.C. United players at the White House Easter Egg Roll in April 2017.[28] In September 2017, he was selected to join the U-12 team for D.C. United's Development Academy for the 2017–2018 season.[29] As of February 2019, Barron played with the Arlington Soccer Association.[30]

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.[31]

Ancestry

Kallstadt, Germany, the Trump family's ancestral home

According to biographer Gwenda Blair, the family descended from an itinerant lawyer, Hanns Drumpf, who settled in Kallstadt, a village in the Palatinate, Germany, in 1608, and whose descendants changed their name from Drumpf to Trump during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).[32] The last name Trump is on record in Kallstadt since the 18th century.[33] 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.[34] 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.[citation needed]

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.[33] Several of his descendants also were vintners in Kallstadt, one of many villages in the famous wine-growing region of the Palatinate (Pfalz).[32] 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.[35]

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;[36] after World War II and until the 1980s, he told people he was of Swedish ancestry.[37] 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.[38][39]

The Trump family in Germany were Lutheran.[40][41] Donald Trump's parents attended First Presbyterian Church in Jamaica, Queens, where Trump was confirmed in 1959.[42]

Family tree


Parents

Fred Trump

Fred Trump c. 1950

Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump (1905–1999), born in New York, was a successful real estate developer in New York City.[58][59] Using their inheritance, Fred Trump and his mother Elizabeth founded E. Trump & Son in 1927.[60] 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.[61] Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee for profiteering in 1954,[62] and again by the State of New York in 1966.[63]

Donald Trump became the president of his father's real estate business in 1971, and renamed it the Trump Organization around 1973.[64] That year, Donald and his father were sued by the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for violating the Fair Housing Act.[65] In the mid-1970s, Donald received loans from his father exceeding $14 million (later claimed by Donald to have been only $1 million).[66] Donald served as the Trump Organization's chairman and president until assuming the office of U.S. president.[67]

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).[68] At age 17, she immigrated to the United States with $50 (equivalent to $852 in 2022), and moved in with a sister before starting work as a maid in New York.[68][69] Mary and Fred Trump met in New York and married in 1936, settling together in Queens. Mary became a U.S. citizen in 1942.[68][70] While visiting Scotland in June 2008, Donald Trump said in part, "I think I do feel Scottish."[38][39]

Grandparents

Frederick Trump

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.[58] 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".[71] 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.[72] 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.

He married Pallan in early 2020.[90] Trump died on August 15, 2020, at the age of 71.[91][92] According to The New York Times, he had been having brain bleeds after a recent fall.[93]
