Donald Trump, his third wife Melania, and their son Barron were the first family for the duration of his presidencies from 2017 to 2021 and again since 2025.

[9] Marla Ann Maples, the second wife of Donald Trump, was born on October 27, 1963, in Cohutta, Georgia.

She had a lengthy modeling career and is the second foreign-born first lady of the United States, the first being Louisa Adams.

[13] She did not immediately move into the White House when her husband became president, but remained at Trump Tower with their son Barron until the end of the 2016–2017 school year.

[15] Prior to the election, each of the siblings held the title of executive vice president at the Trump Organization.

Ivanka moved to Washington, D.C., with her husband Jared Kushner, who was appointed to a senior White House advisory position.

[18] Shortly after graduating, she made a supportive speech for her father at the Republican National Convention at age 22.

[22][23] He attended the Columbia Grammar & Preparatory School in Manhattan and Oxbridge Academy in West Palm Beach, Florida.

[26] According to biographer Gwenda Blair, the family descended from an itinerant lawyer, Hanns Drumpf, who settled in Kallstadt, a village in the Electoral Palatinate, Germany (then the Holy Roman Empire), in 1608, and whose descendants changed their name from Drumpf to Trump during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).

[28] Journalist Kate Connolly, visiting Kallstadt, found several variations in spelling of the surname in the village archives, including Drumb, Tromb, Tromp, Trum, Trumpff, and Dromb.

[28] Several of his descendants also were vintners in Kallstadt, one of many villages in the famous wine-growing region of the Palatinate (Pfalz).

[30] This German heritage was long concealed by Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, who had grown up in a mainly German-speaking environment until he was ten years old;[31] after World War II and until the 1980s, he told people he was of Swedish ancestry.

[32] Donald Trump repeated this version in The Art of the Deal (1987) but later said he is "proud" of his German heritage, and served as grand marshal of the 1999 German-American Steuben Parade in New York City.

[59] That year, Donald and his father were sued by the U.S. Justice Department's Civil Rights Division for violating the Fair Housing Act.

[63] At age 17, she immigrated to the United States with $50 (equivalent to $887 in 2023), and moved in with a sister before starting work as a maid in New York.

[53] During the Klondike Gold Rush, he amassed a fortune by opening a restaurant and hotel in Bennett and later Whitehorse, serving gold seekers on their way to the region; one biographer wrote that the business included a brothel, a portrayal Donald Trump has said was "totally false".

[66] On attempting to return, Frederick was exiled by Germany in 1905 for his lack of mandatory military service and not giving authorities notice before his 1885 departure; an appeal was denied.

[69] Donald Trump's maternal grandmother, Mary Ann Smith, was born on July 11, 1867, and died on December 17, 1963.

She was a senior federal judge on the Third Circuit Court of Appeals,[71] became inactive in 2017 after her brother took office, and retired in 2019.

[81][82] He was an investor in SHiRT LLC, one of two owners of Virginia-based CertiPathx which was awarded a $33 million government contract in 2019.

[84] They were divorced in 2009 after he had left his wife for Trump Organization employee Ann Marie Pallan.
