When one hears "Donald Trump," what comes to mind is "the president of the United States of America;" that's all that seems to matter, his origins and personal life have since become secondary. But it won't hurt to know some facts about his origins.

Here’s an exciting exploration of the family history of one of the world’s most famous presidents.

Frederick Christ Trump, Donald's father

Donald Trump’s father, Frederick Christ Trump was born in New York to German parents who resided in the US.

Following in his father’s footsteps, Fred Trump ventured into the real estate business. He amassed great wealth by embarking on building projects which involved low-cost housing for middle-income earners.

Most of these projects were subsidized by the government, and as time went on, accusations were levied against him that he was illegally profiting from the housing scheme.

Fred Trump got married to Mary Anne MacLeod of Scottish descent, and together they had five children of which President Donald Trump is the fourth.

Maryanne Trump Barry

The oldest of Fred’s children Maryanne Trump Barry is named after their mother and is a retired senior judge of the US Court of Appeal for the Third Circuit.

While she was active, Judge Maryanne Barry worked as District Judge for New Jersey in 1983. She became a senior judge in 1999 under the administration of President Bill Clinton.

Barry is said to be close to President Trump. The siblings have much regard for one another as the retiree once revealed that the president visited her several times while at the hospital when a one-time visit would have been enough.
