TRUMP TIMELINE Donald Trump was born to Fred and Mary Trump on June 14, 1946 in Queens, New York. • Trump was the second of five siblings, including an older brother Fred Jr., two younger sisters Elizabeth and Maryanne, and a younger brother Robert. His father was a New York City real estate developer and his mother was originally from Scotland. • Trump’s sister Maryanne Trump Barry is a senior United States Circuit Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. She was nominated and confirmed in September 1999. Trump lived with his family from 1946 to 1959 in Jamaica Estates in Queens, New York where his family owned a mock Tudor-style home on Wareham Place. • The neighborhood Trump grew up in was predominantly inhabited by Caucasian, upper-middle class individuals and families • Trump’s father was chauffeured to work every day in a blue Cadillac limousine. Trump as a child was poorly-behaved—he was expelled from Kew Forest School in second grade for punching his music teacher—and in 1959 his parents sent him to New York Military Academy. In 1964, Trump graduated from New York Military Academy and began attending Fordham University in the Bronx, New York during which he received the first of four educational deferments from the draft. In 1968, Trump graduated from Wharton School of Finance at University of Pennsylvania and joined his father’s development projects in Brooklyn and Queens. • Prior to enrolling at University of Pennsylvania Trump had aspirations to attend USC School of Cinema in order to pursue a career as a movie producer, but decided instead after graduation to follow his father into real estate as it was the more stable option. In 1971, Trump moved to Manhattan to pursue real estate ventures there and was given control of his father’s real estate company. On October 15, 1973, the U.S. Department of Justice sued the Trump Management Corporation for frequently violating the Fair Housing Act by discriminating against potential African- American buyers in Brooklyn, Queens and on Staten Island. • Two years later, on June 11, 1975 Trump reached a settlement with the Department of Justice agreeing not to discriminate against minorities and send a list of apartment vacancies to a civil rights group for which applicants would be given priority. On April 4, 1977, Trump married his first wife, Ivana Zelnickova Winklmayr, a model from Czechoslovakia. Confidential Page 53
