theRare Photos From Donald Trump’s Childhood
Who exactly was Donald Trump before he became the 45th president of the United States? Even he was just a little boy at some stage in his life, he was born in Queens. Trump’s history starts off with the success of his grandfather, many years before our time. The family went on to enjoy more success as his dad eventually became the successor of the family company. The history of the Trump family will definitely give you more of an idea about the man Donald Trump is today…
A Little Boy
Donald Trump was born to parents Mary Anne Macleod and Fred Trump on June 14, 1946. He was the fourth child of the couple who married more than ten years before his birth. Donald Trump was born at the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, Queens. His heritage was originated in Scottish roots from his mother’s side and German from his father’s. Fredrick Trump, his grandfather, moved to the United States at the young age of 16 in 1885, but it was not until 1892 he became a legal citizen. He was an exceptional businessman and started the family legacy by opening “boomtown” restaurants and boarding residencies. Donald posted a picture on his Facebook page as a throwback, it read, “Who knew this innocent kid would grow into a monster?” He was joking, of course.
