The family of Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, is an American family that is prominent in the fields of real estate, entertainment, business, and politics. Being a part of the broader Trump family, Donald Trump's immediate family will become the First Family of the United States on January 20, 2017.
Immediate family
Melania Trump
Melania Trump (née Knavs), the wife of Donald Trump, was born on April 26, 1970, in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia (present-day Slovenia). She has a lengthy modeling career behind her and will become the second foreign-born First Lady of the United States on January 20, 2017.[2]
Children
Trump has five children from three different marriages: Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric Trump with Ivana Trump, Tiffany Trump with Marla Maples, and Barron Trump with First Lady-designate Melania Trump.
Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric
Donald Trump's three eldest children, all from his first marriage with Ivana Trump, played major roles during Trump's presidential campaign. They had all been regular guests on national news programs and served as Donald Trump's surrogates.[3] After Trump's victory, all three of them were named as members of Trump’s presidential transition team. They are currently all Executive Vice Presidents at The Trump Organization, and are set to take control of the company when Donald Trump goes into office.[4]
Tiffany Trump
Tiffany Trump is the only child of Donald Trump and Marla Maples. In 2016, Tiffany was mostly absent from the campaign trail, in part because she was busy attending the University of Pennsylvania, her father's alma mater.[5] Shortly after graduating in sociology and urban studies, she made a rare speech for her father at the Republican National Convention at age 22.[6]
During her speech, Tiffany made light of her unfamiliary with the situation, stating: "Please excuse me if I’m a little nervous. When I graduated college a couple of months ago, I never expected to be here tonight addressing the nation. I've given a few speeches in front of classrooms and students, but never in an arena with more than 10 million people watching."[7]
Barron Trump
Barron William Trump (born March 20, 2006) is Donald Trump's youngest child and and his only child with First Lady-designate Melania Trump. He is being raised in the Trump Tower in New York City, occupying an entire penthouse floor, what his mother refers to as "Barron's living room."[8]
Trump is currently attending the Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in Manhattan. Being raised primarily by his mother Melania Trump, Barron is fluent in both English and Slovene.[9] During his early childhood, Trump made several television appearances, including on The Apprentice and The Oprah Winfrey Show.[10] Barron Trump will be the first son to live in the White House since John F. Kennedy Jr. arrived as an infant in 1961. He is expected to attend Sidwell Friends, a school which has educated many of the children of presidents for the past 35 years.[11]
Barron only made rare appearances during the 2016 election, with Melania Trump stating she wanted to keep him out of the spotlight.[12] He made a total of three public appearances on the campaign trail; appearing at a campaign rally in South Carolina, and attending his father's RNC acceptance speech and presidential victory speech.[13] Donald Trump also mentioned his son during the first presidential debate while discussing cyber security, stating: "I have a son. He's 10 years old. He has computers. He is so good with these computers, it's unbelievable."[14]
During his father's 75-minute speech, photographs published in the press appeared to show him yawning.[15] At 3:00 am on the morning after election day, he struggled to stay awake during his father's victory speech.[16]
Maternal relations
Mary Trump
- Mother of Donald Trump, born in 1912; died in 2000. Born as Mary MacLeod in Tong, a small village near Stornoway, in the Western Isles of Scotland, she was the daughter of fisherman Malcolm Macleod and Mary Macleod (née Smith).[17] At age 17, she immigrated to the United States and started working as a maid in New York.[18] Mary and Donald Trump's father Fred Trump met in New York and married in 1936, settling together in Queens. Mary became a U.S. citizen in 1942.[18][19] Donald Trump has said that he "feels Scottish".[20][21]
Elizabeth Christ Trump
- Donald Trump's grandmother Elizabeth Christ Trump née Christ was born in 1880 and died on June 6, 1966. She is the matriarch of the Trump family. Born Elisabeth Christ, she married Frederick Trump in 1902 and moved to the United States with him. Like her husband, she was a native of Kallstadt, born as the daughter of Philipp and Marie Christ. Philipp Christ was descended from Johannes Christ (1626–1688/9) of Flörsheim, Hesse.[22] Elizabeth Christ Trump was a descendant of organ builder Johann Michael Hartung (1708–1763) through her paternal grandmother Sabina Christ.[22]
Paternal relations
Trump's paternal ancestry is traceable to Kallstadt, a village in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The Trump surname is on record there from the 17th century.[23] Johan Philip Trump had established himself as a winegrower in Kallstadt by the late 17th century.[24] Trump has said that he is "proud" of his German heritage, having served as grand marshal of the 1999 German-American Steuben Parade in New York City.[20][21]
Fred Trump
- Donald Trump's father Fred Trump (1905–1999), born in New York, was one of the biggest real estate developers in New York City.[25][26] Using his fathers's heritance, Fred Trump and his mother Elizabeth founded Elizabeth Trump & Son. Donald Trump later renamed it The Trump Organization and served as its chairman and president until assuming the office of U.S. President.[27]
Frederick Trump
- In 1885, Trump's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, emigrated from Kallstadt to the United States at age 16. He anglicized his name to Frederick in 1892 when he became a U.S. citizen.[25] During the Alaska Gold Rush, he amassed a fortune by opening restaurants and hotels for gold seekers on their way to the region. After his death, his fortune was passed on to his wife and son. Frederick Trump was a second cousin of Henry J. Heinz, founder of H. J. Heinz Company.
