The  Trump family story is a very American story.

Trump  family history - concise version.

*   Donald Trump's  grandparents immigrated to the U.S. from Alsace

(Kallstadt, Germany) which  throughout history has been alternately French and German. The Trumps are  German, originally speaking the same German dialect as the Amish of  Lancaster County, PA.

*   His maternal  grandparents lived in Scotland.

*   Freiderich  (Drumph) Trump made a small but respectable fortune in the late 19th Century  in the mining boom towns of the American Northwest.

*   He returned to  Germany to marry his childhood neighbor, Elizabeth Christ.

*   The newly  married Trumps resettled in the Borough of Queens NY

*   Freidrich was  establishing a Real Estate business in Queens when he died suddenly at age  49 (1918).

*   In 1920, at the  age of 15, Fred Trump (Freiderich's son and

Donald's father), started a  business partnership with his widowed mother called Elizabeth Trump &  Son.

*   This business  was built upon the real estate holdings that his

father, Frederich, had  amassed (worth about $500,000.00 in today's dollars). This is the original  "seed money" of the current Trump  Organization.

*   Elizabeth &  Fred remained close business partners her entire life (she died in  1966).

*   In 1936 Fred  Trump (age 31) married Mary Ann MacLeod (age 24) of Stoneaway  Scotland.

*   During the  depression, Fred Trump built and successfully operated a supermarket (a new  concept at the time) which was sold to King Kullen Co. and  operates this day.

*   Fred Trump made  a lot of money building housing for the military during  WWII.

*   Fred Trump was  investigated by the Justice Department for making "excessive profits" from  government contracts.

*   All (or nearly  all) of the building of Elizabeth Trump &  Son's

non-government building was residential property in  Queens.

*   Fred Trump died  in 1999 (age 94) - beloved and worth between $250 million and $300 million.  His wife died a year later.

*   In his first  candidacy for public office, Donald Trump received

the most popular votes  for the President of the United States out of a field of experienced  and successful politicians. And in most cases, he achieved this with less  money than any of his opponents. Keeping  in mind that 90% of start up businesses fail, Trump's record of enterprise is  nothing short of amazing.

Donald  Trump has enjoyed success in at least 11 very different

enterprises:  Professional football, Ice Skating rinks, Fragrance, Ice, Steaks, Wines, Model management, Airline, blenders, Men's wear, Bicycle races, world class beauty contests, and many others. In some of these, such as model management,  his firm has risen to the top of that particular  industry.

The  Political Trump:

about  1967 - 1987 - Democrat (he was a supporter of Ronald  Reagan)

1987  - 1999 - Republican

1999  - 2001 - Reform Party (he supported Ross Perot)

2001  - 2009 - Democrat

2009  - 2011 - Republican

2011  - 2012 - Independent

2012  - Present - Republican

Donald  Trump was openly supportive of Mitt Romney's candidacy.

Donald  Trump does not seem to hold political party organizations in high regard. For  the most part, his political involvement has been for practical reasons. Donald  Trump does not appear to be held to political  ideology. 

Some  of my take aways:

*   Trump has an  extraordinarily energetic central nervous system much like Teddy Roosevelt  but more targeted to industry and enterprise.

*   Trump's  presidency will be very energetic, transparent, and

communicative.

*   Trump will be a  very hard working President.

*   His interaction  with his older brother (who everybody loved) tells

me that he thinks that  everybody is like him - or wants to be - or should be.

*   His  relationship with his older brother was a hard lesson in

tolerance for  him.

*   Trump is the  Babe Ruth of career achievements.

*   He is dumb like  a fox. When you think he just said something

stupid - he didn't. It's just  that you were not his target audience.

*   Trump knows the  people - the folk.

*   His son, Donald  Jr. is right. Trump is a "Blue Collar Billionaire".

*   More than  anything, his TV show, The  Apprentice, was his passion. He wants all Americans to have  confidence (like he does) to venture.

*   Donald Trump is  attracted to and marries smart, high achieving

women.

*   The highest  levels of a Trump Administration is certain to have

many women - and they  will be bright and assertive.

*   Donald Trump's  children are very important to him. And it shows.

PS.   We know nothing of our current president with 2 terms in office.
