Donald Trump A Biography
Author: Chris Stephens

Donald Trump is an American business magnate, investor, socialite, author, and television personality. He is a candidate for the Republican nomination for President of the United States, in the 2016 presidential election. He is the chairman and president of The Trump Organization and the founder of Trump Entertainment Resorts. Trump's career, br... more »anding efforts, lifestyle, and outspoken manner have helped make him a celebrity, a status amplified by the success of his NBC reality show, The Apprentice. A native of New York City, he is the son of Fred Trump. He was strongly influenced by his father in choosing a career in real estate development. Trump worked for his father's firm, Elizabeth Trump & Son, while attending the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and joined the company in 1968 upon graduation. In 1971, he was given control of the company, and renamed it "The Trump Organization". He is a major figure in real estate and a celebrity for his prominent media exposures. On June 16, 2015, Trump announced his candidacy for president in the 2016 election, seeking the nomination of the Republican Party. His campaign has consistently drawn intense media coverage. He is the fourth of five children to Mary Anne, a homemaker and philanthropist and Fred Trump, who worked as a real estate developer. His mother was born at Tong on the Scottish island of Lewis. In 1930, aged 18, she visited the United States and met Fred Trump. They were married in 1936 and settled in Jamaica Estates, Queens, and Fred Trump eventually became one of the city's biggest real estate developers. Trump has one brother, Robert, and two sisters: Maryanne and Elizabeth . Maryanne is a United States federal judge on senior status for the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Another brother, Fred Jr. , died of complications from alcoholism. Trump's paternal grandparents, Elizabeth and Frederick Trump, were emigrants who moved to the United States from Germany in 1885. Frederick worked as a successful Klondike Gold Rush restaurateur. His family surname was originally Drumpf, but this was changed to Trump in the 17th century. In Trump's 1987 book, The Art of the Deal, he incorrectly states that Frederick Trump was of Swedish origin, an assertion that Fred Trump had made for many years. Trump later acknowledged his German ancestry and served as grand marshal of the 1999 German-American Steuben Parade in New York City. The family had a two-story mock Tudor Revival home on Wareham Place in Jamaica Estates where Trump lived while attending The Kew-Forest School. At Kew-Forest, Fred Trump served as a member of the Board of Trustees. In 1983, Fred told an interviewer that Donald "was a pretty rough fellow when he was small", prompting him to enroll Donald in the New York Military Academy . Trump finished eighth grade and high school at NYMA. During his senior year, Trump participated in marching drills and wore a uniform, attaining the highest rank of cadet first captain. In 2015, he told a biographer that NYMA gave him "more training militarily than a lot of the guys that go into the military". Trump attended Fordham University for two years. He entered the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania, as Wharton then offered one of the few real estate studies departments in U.S. academia. While there, he worked at his father's company, Elizabeth Trump & Son. Trump graduated from Wharton in 1968 with a bachelor's degree in economics. donald trump biography donald trump bio donald trump billionaire donald trump book biography donald trump
