Rare Photos Of Trump’s Childhood and Early Success


2. Siblings

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.
