Elizabeth Christ Trump (born Elisabeth Christ; German pronunciation: [e:li:zabɛt maʁi: kʁɪst]; October 10, 1880 – June 6, 1966) was a German-American businesswoman and the paternal grandmother of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States. She married Frederick Trump in 1902. They had three children, Fred, John, and Elizabeth (later Mrs. Walters). Her husband died in 1918, requiring the 37-year-old widow to manage their properties. She co-founded the real estate development company E. Trump & Son with her son Fred, the father of Donald Trump.
Early life[edit source]
Elizabeth Trump was born as Elisabeth Christ in Kallstadt, Kingdom of Bavaria, the daughter of Philipp Christ by his wife Anna Maria Christ (née Anthon).[3][4] While the family owned a little vineyard, the income from that was not adequate to meet their needs, and Philipp Christ worked as a tinker repairing and polishing old utensils and selling pots and pans. He ran his trade from his house on Freinsheimer Straße in Kallstadt, which was just across the street from the home of the Trump family, where Katharina Trump, an elderly widow, lived with her six children.[2]
Marriage and family[edit source]
Katharina Trump's son, Frederick Trump, had immigrated to America in 1885 at the age of 16 and made his fortune with restaurants and brothels in the Klondike Gold Rush. When he returned to Germany in 1901, he wooed Elisabeth over the objections of his mother, who felt that her prosperous son could and should find a bride from a wealthier and more refined family than that of Elisabeth.
Nonetheless, Frederick proposed to Elisabeth, who accepted, and they were married on 26 August 1902.[2] He was 33 years of age at the time and she was 21. Friedrich and Elisabeth moved to New York and they set up house in an apartment in the predominantly German quarter of Morrisania in the Bronx. Elizabeth (as her name was spelled in the United States) kept house, while Frederick worked as a restaurant and hotel manager. Their first child, Elizabeth, was born on April 30, 1904.[2]
Despite living in a German neighborhood, Elizabeth was homesick. The family returned to Kallstadt in 1904, selling their assets in America. As the Bavarian authorities suspected he had left Germany to avoid war service in the Imperial Army, Frederick could not remain in Germany, so the family returned to the United States in 1905.[2]
Their second child, Fred, was born, and they set up house on 177th Street in the Bronx. After Elizabeth gave birth to her third child, John, the family moved to Queens, where Frederick began to develop real estate. In 1918, he died of influenza during the 1918 flu pandemic, leaving an estate valued at $31,359 (or approximately equivalent to $363,668 in 2020).[5]
Trump was considered the matriarch of the Trump family.[6] She remained close to her son Fred for her entire life.[2]
E. Trump & Son[edit source]
Following the death of her husband, Elizabeth Trump continued the real estate business he had begun. She had contractors build houses on the empty lots Frederick had owned, sold the houses, and earned income off the mortgages she provided to buyers. Her vision was to have her three children continue the family business.[2] Initially, she operated under the ungendered name "E. Trump."[7][8] In 1924, she switched to "E. Trump & Son" for advertising purposes,[9] then "Sons,"[10] then back to the singular when it became clear that only her first son, Fred, would join. In later interviews, Fred tended to put himself center stage, saying that he had always dreamt of being a builder; that he completed his first house in 1924, just one year out of high school; and that his mother only got involved because she was old enough to "sign checks."[11] But there are indications that Fred actually started more slowly[12] and Elizabeth contributed more, including capital.[13][14] When the business was formally incorporated, in 1927, Fred was old enough to sign checks, but "E. Trump & Son" remained the name.[15] "It was no misnomer," wrote biographer Wayne Barrett, "she was intimately involved in the business."[16]
Elizabeth Trump stayed involved in the family business throughout her life. In her 70s, she allegedly collected coins from the laundromats in Trump buildings.[2] Trump family biographer Gwenda Blair heard this from Elizabeth's grandchildren.[17] However, this may only be a family parable, as it has been attached to others. According to Harry Hurt, Mary Trump, the wife of Elizabeth's son Fred, "drove back and forth between her husband's apartment projects in a Rolls-Royce, collecting coins from the washing machines in the laundry rooms."[18] During his 2016 presidential campaign, Elizabeth's grandson Donald Trump told a crowd in Staten Island that he had spent "probably five" boyhood summers there collecting coins from his father's laundry machines.[19]

Frederick Christ Trump Sr. (October 11, 1905 – June 25, 1999) was an American real estate developer and businessman. A member of the Trump family, he was the father of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States.
In partnership with his mother, Elizabeth Christ Trump, Fred began a career in home construction and sales. Their real estate development company was incorporated as E. Trump & Son in 1927 (later called the Fred Trump Organization). It grew to build and manage single-family houses in Queens, barracks and garden apartments for U.S. Navy personnel near major shipyards along the East Coast, and more than 27,000 apartments in New York City. Trump was investigated by a U.S. Senate committee for profiteering in 1954, and again by the State of New York in 1966. Donald became the president of his father's real estate business in 1971, and they were sued by the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for violating the Fair Housing Act in 1973; in the case settlement, the Trumps were ordered to take several measures to curb racial discrimination.
For decades following World War II, Trump concealed his German ancestry (instead claiming Swedish heritage) to avoid associations with Nazism in light of the Holocaust. He also supported Jewish causes. During Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, reports of Fred Trump's arrest at a 1927 Ku Klux Klan parade resurfaced, although there is no evidence that he supported the organization. As president, Donald repeatedly and falsely claimed that his father was born in Germany.[a]
In 2018, an exposé by The New York Times[b] revealed that Trump and his wife, Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, provided over $1 billion (in 2018 currency) to their progeny overall, while effectively evading over $500 million in gift taxes. Trump illicitly contributed several million dollars to Donald between 1987 and 1991, and shortly before his death (while suffering from Alzheimer's disease), transferred the bulk of his apartment buildings to his surviving children; several years later, they sold these for over 16 times their previously declared worth.
Early life and career[edit source]
Trump's father, the German American Frederick Trump (also known as Friedrich) amassed considerable wealth during the Klondike Gold Rush by running a restaurant for the miners. Friedrich returned to Kallstadt in 1901, and by the next year, met and married Elizabeth Christ.[1] They moved to New York City, where their first child, Elizabeth, was born in 1904.[2] Later that year, the family returned to Kallstadt.[3] Fred was conceived in Bavaria, where his parents wished to re-establish residency, but Friedrich was banished for dodging the draft.[4][3] The family returned to New York on July 1, 1905,[c] and moved to the Bronx, where Frederick Christ Trump was born on October 11.[5] Fred Trump's younger brother, John G. Trump, was born in 1907. All three children were raised speaking German.[6] In September 1908, the family moved to Woodhaven, Queens.[7]
Many details of Trump's childhood come from autobiographical accounts and emphasize independence, learning and, above all, hard work – even to the point of being somewhat fictionalized.[8][d] At the age of 10, Trump worked as a delivery boy for a butcher.[10] About two years later, his father died in the 1918 flu pandemic.[11] From 1918 to 1923, Fred attended Richmond Hill High School in Queens,[12] while working as a caddy, curb whitewasher, delivery boy, and newspaper hawker.[13][14] Meanwhile, his mother continued the real estate business Frederick had begun. Interested in becoming a builder, Fred put up a garage for a neighbor and took night classes in carpentry and reading blueprints. He also studied plumbing, masonry, and electrical wiring via correspondence courses.[13][e]
After graduating in January 1923, Trump obtained full-time work pulling lumber to construction sites.[19] He continued his carpentry education and went on to be a carpenter's assistant.[f] Trump's mother loaned him $800 to build his first house, which he completed and sold in 1924.[23][16][24] By 1926, Trump had built 20 homes in Queens, selling some before they were finished to finance others.[24] Elizabeth Trump held the business in her name because Fred had not reached the age of majority.[16] The name "E. Trump & Son" appeared in advertising by 1924.[25] The company was incorporated in 1927.[26]
1927 arrest[edit source]
On Memorial Day in 1927, over a thousand Ku Klux Klan (KKK) members marched in a Queens parade to protest "Native-born Protestant Americans" being "assaulted by Roman Catholic police of New York City".[27] The 21-year old Trump and six other men were arrested.[28][29] All seven were referred to as "berobed marchers" in the Long Island Daily Press.[28] Trump, detained "on a charge of refusing to disperse from a parade when ordered to do so", was dismissed.[27][30] Another of the men, arrested on the same charge, was a bystander who had had his foot run over by a police car. According to the police, the five remaining men were certainly Klan members.[31] Multiple newspaper articles on the incident list Trump's address (in Jamaica, Queens),[28][30] which he is recorded as living at on various documents from 1928 to 1940.[27][28][32][33][g] Despite this arrest, there is no evidence that Trump was a member or supporter of the KKK.[35]
Rise to success[edit source]
In 1933 Trump built one of New York City's first modern supermarkets, called Trump Market, in Woodhaven, Queens. It was modeled on Long Island's King Kullen, a self-service supermarket chain. Trump's store advertised "Serve Yourself and Save!" and quickly became popular. After six months, Trump sold it to King Kullen.[23][36]
In 1934, Trump and a partner acquired in federal court the mortgage-servicing subsidiary of Brooklyn's J. Lehrenkrauss Corporation,[37] which had gone bankrupt and subsequently been broken up. This gave Trump access to the titles of many properties nearing foreclosure, which he bought at low cost and sold at a profit. This and similar real estate ventures quickly thrust him into the limelight as one of New York City's most successful businessmen.[38][15]
Trump made use of loan subsidies created by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) not long after the program was initiated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934.[10] By 1936, Trump had 400 workers[h] digging foundations for houses that would be sold at prices ranging from $3,000 to $6,250.[39] Trump used his father's tactic of listing properties at prices like $3,999.99. In the late 1930s, he used a yacht called the Trump Show Boat to advertise his business off the shore of Coney Island. It played patriotic music and floated out swordfish-shaped balloons which could be redeemed for $25 or $250 towards one of his properties.[10] In 1938, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle referred to Trump as the "Henry Ford of the home building industry".[10][40]

Frederick Crist Trump Jr. (October 14, 1938 – September 26, 1981; nicknamed "Freddy") was an American airplane pilot and maintenance worker. The eldest son to realtor Fred Trump Sr., he fell out of his father's favor when he chose to become an airline pilot. Fred Sr. then chose Fred Jr.'s younger brother Donald to take over the family business.
Early life[edit source]
Frederick Crist Trump Jr. was born on October 14, 1938, as the first son of wealthy real estate developer Fred Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod Trump in Queens, New York.[1] In 1956 Fred Jr. graduated from St. Paul's School. In that same year his father Fred Sr. donated money to have the playing fields redone and in his honor were renamed Trump Field.[2] Fred Jr. attended Lehigh University and joined a historically Jewish fraternity, Sigma Alpha Mu, even though he was not Jewish.[3] He became president of the fraternity and graduated with a B.A. in business, also completing ROTC and entering the Air National Guard as a second lieutenant.[4]
Pilot career[edit source]
In 1958, Fred Jr. met Linda Clapp while vacationing in the Bahamas. She later became a stewardess and asked him for help finding an apartment near Idlewild Airport; they soon began dating. He proposed to her in 1961. In early 1962, they were married in Florida, and she resigned from the airline, which did not allow its stewardesses to be married. They settled in Manhattan and had their first child, Frederick Crist Trump III, in November 1962.[5] The next year, they moved into one of Fred Sr.'s apartments in Jamaica, Queens. During this time, Fred Jr. did maintenance jobs on his father's properties.[6] Fred Sr. wanted his oldest son to be "invulnerable" so he could take over his real-estate business, E. Trump & Son, but Fred Jr. was the opposite in personality.[7] In 1966, Fred Jr. was listed in newspapers as vice president of E. Trump & Son, but he had a difficult time working with his father.[8] Fred Jr. left the company to pursue his dream of being a pilot, quickly being accepted at Trans World Airlines, which created tension with his father.[9] According to Fred Jr.'s daughter, Mary L. Trump (born 1965), her grandfather "dismantled him by devaluing and degrading every aspect of his personality." Both Fred Sr. and Donald mocked him for his decision to become an airline pilot, comparing it to driving a bus or being a chauffeur.[10][11][12][13]
Alcoholism and death[edit source]

By 1970, after a series of domestic incidents, Clapp asked Fred Jr. to leave and arranged for Fred Sr. to change the locks.[14] When his alcoholism prevented him from continuing to function as a pilot, he returned to work for his father's business. He eventually moved into the unfurnished attic of his parents' house, and once again did maintenance on Trump properties.[15][16] On September 26, 1981,[15] at the age of 42, he died from a heart attack caused by his alcohol use.[17][18][a] Donald Trump, who has boasted of lifelong abstinence since 1976,[20][21] initially cited the formative influence of their father's teetotalism,[22][23] but later shifted all credit to the adult experience with his brother, claiming:
In 1999, just after Fred Sr.'s funeral, Fred III's son, William Trump, was born with cerebral palsy.[25] The Trump family agreed to pay for the child's medical expenses. Fred Sr.'s will was revealed, which Donald Trump helped write. It mandated that Fred Jr.'s children, Fred III and Mary, would be excluded from their father's share of Fred Sr.'s inheritance; over $20 million would be divided among Fred Sr.'s other children.[9][b] Fred III and Mary filed a lawsuit, alleging that Fred Jr.'s siblings, including Donald, used "undue influence" on a dementia-addled Fred Sr. to cut them out of the inheritance. Donald, who later said he "was angry because they sued,"[9] suspended the medical benefits for Fred Jr.'s children, as well as Fred III's infant son. According to Mary, she and Fred III sued to have the benefits reinstated, but only her infant nephew received "some accommodations" as a result.[27]
