Trump plays with children. Family row: children and grandchildren of Donald Trump. Trump kids don't have bad habits
Donald Trump, 70, is today officially declared the 45th President of the United States, and his wife, former Slovenian model Melania Trump (née Knauss), 46, becomes First Lady. For those who did not follow the election race, it's time to learn about the three wives, five children and eight grandchildren of the future owner of the White House.
The parents of the new US president are Bronx native Fred Trump, who made his fortune building middle-class houses, and Scottish immigrant Mary Trump.
Donald Trump (pictured left), the fourth of five children in the family, was such a difficult teenager that at 13 he was sent to the New York Military Academy.
Donald Trump dismisses suggestions that it was his father who launched his illustrious career, assuring everyone that all he got was a small loan issued by a parent. Fred and Donald Trump:
In 1977, Trump married Ivana Zelnichkova, a model from Czechoslovakia.
They had three children - two boys and a girl. The eldest son was named after his father - Donald.
It was Donald Jr., who, like his father, married a model, made Trump Sr. such a “rich” grandfather: he and Vanessa Haydon have five children.
The eldest daughter of a businessman and five minutes to the president, Ivanka Trump, was born in 1981.
Now Ivanka is one of the leaders of her father's campaign headquarters and vice president of his company The Trump Organization. She converted to Judaism by marrying media mogul Jared Kushner and the couple have three children.
In 1984, the youngest son Eric was born.
Eric Trump and his wife Lara Yunasky do not yet have children, but they love dogs:
In 1992, after Donald Trump began an affair with Marla Maples, the marriage to Ivana, who became a prominent person in the New York world, fell apart. Ivana Trump has since married twice and divorced both times.
And Marla gave birth to Trump's daughter Tiffany, marrying Trump at a noticeable month of pregnancy.
Now 22-year-old Tiffany often flashes on the screens, and made a campaign speech in support of her father.
The youngest child of Donald Trump, 10-year-old Barron, was born in a third marriage - in 2005, the future US president married a model from Slovenia, Melania Knauss, with whom Trump began a relationship back in 1998, before he could divorce his second wife.
At 3 a.m., the bell rang at Trump Tower. Donald Trump picked up the phone and heard a familiar voice - a call from Citibank.
They wanted him to come to their office immediately.
On this January morning in 1990, Trump was to discuss new loan terms with three of the ninety-nine banks to which he owed his billions.
9.2 billion to be exact...
In the early 1980s, Donald Trump enjoyed success. He learned real estate from his father, Fred Trump, who built houses in Queens and Brooklyn. He graduated from the prestigious Wharton School of Business and immediately took off.
Built Trump Tower, Grand Hyatt Hotel and dozens of the most beautiful buildings in New York. This turned him into one of the biggest players in the Manhattan construction market.
Trump bought a yacht and a plane, wrote a book about his success, The Art of the Deal.
Newspapers wrote about him: "Everything he touches turns to gold." And he didn't believe it himself. He didn't know failure.
Even during downturns in the market, Trump was able to buy real estate at a low price and make a lot of money from it. Asked how things are going Donald Trump began to answer simply: "It's good to be Donald."
And he lost his grip, relaxed.
And then the real estate market crashed.
Trump got into huge debts. In the midst of a market crash, he saw a beggar on the street and suddenly realized that he was $9.2 billion richer than he was.
That morning in 1990 when Citibank called him was the peak of the fall.
He had to tell the bankers to their faces that he couldn't pay the interest.
Trump reluctantly got out of bed and began to dress. He couldn't say anything to the bankers, he couldn't postpone the meeting, he couldn't even get mad at them.
The real estate market has collapsed and Trump is no longer the king of business. He owes $9.2 billion - he's bankrupt.
Trump stepped out of his luxurious warm house into a cold, rainy, dark January morning. There was no taxi. He walked to Citibank - 15 blocks in freezing rain. When he came to the meeting room, he was wet to the skin.
Thirty bank executives sat around a large table. He picked up the phone and called one banker - in Japan, then another - in Austria, then a third in a country whose name he could not even remember.
Then Trump was saved by only one thing.
In the satisfying 80s, many developers, Trump's competitors, frankly despised bankers. They joked about them and mocked them in every way when they met.
Trump, on the contrary, treated them with respect. As a result, the banks treated his debts to Trump more favorably and gave him the opportunity to get out of the crisis. He and his businesses survived.
It was one of Trump's first failures. But far from the last.
A short list of Trump's failures
- In 1988, Trump, along with Milton Bradley, released Trump: The Game. It was something like Monopoly with Trump's face on the packaging. The creators ran ads and expected to sell 2,000,000 copies of the game. Sold 800,000.
- Also in 1988, Donald Trump borrowed $365 million to buy out Eastern Air Shuttle. He made his planes as luxurious as possible: he installed golden lamps, laid maple floors, added chrome seat belts to the seats ... and failed. He didn't even have $1 million a month to pay his mortgage.
- In 1990, Trump opened the Taj Mahal casino. In 1991, the casino debt was $3 billion. In 2004, Trump was again called to court - the Taj Mahal, Trump Marina and Trump Plaza casinos owed about $ 1.8 billion.
- 2012 was a bad year for Trump's steakhouses. They were presented with 51 claims regarding the quality and safety of the food served. Steakhouses had to close.
But you know how this series of failures ended - Trump won the US elections and now he is president! (although no one believed in him during the entire presidential race)
Besides:
- There are more than 500 companies in his business empire. Among them are hotels, golf clubs, casinos, perfumes, fashion lines, modeling business, vitamins. Many of them are franchised.
- Trump's fortune, according to various sources, is 3.7-4 billion dollars.
- He owns or is a co-owner of real estate throughout America and in other countries of the world: in Mexico, the United Arab Emirates, Azerbaijan, the Republic of Korea, Turkey, Canada and others.
- He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for the super-rated NBC show The Apprentice.
- He appeared in several films as himself and was the host of many TV shows.
- He wrote 17 books, one of which had a symbolic title for Donald - “Trump never gives up. How I turned my biggest problems into success.
- 3 times married exclusively to top models. His current wife Melania Trump is 24 years his junior. Trump is the father of 5 children. The older ones work in his companies in senior positions.
How did he succeed? How the hell did he get out of everything that happened to him and climb to the very top?
It's about his mindset. Trump thinks like a rich man. Acts like a success.
Not afraid to make mistakes, because they are his experience. His mindset has always been this way: at the beginning of a business, during crises and during times of great success.
Donald Trump's 5 Thinking Principles
1. No weekends, holidays, vacations.
« What's the point? If you don't like your job, you're doing the wrong thing. Even when I play golf, I am in business. I never stop and teach pleasure' Trump says.
Donald Trump is not the head of the construction business. He is the head of a business called Donald Trump and his business is open 24/7. It is impossible to take a day off from being yourself, from your thinking and lifestyle.
With Trump and without holidays, he is full of strength and energy. The secret is that when you play to your strengths and follow your destiny, you rest and relax when you work.
2. Don't sleep more than necessary.
« I usually sleep 4 hours a night. I'm in bed at one in the morning, and at 5 in the morning I'm already reading the morning papers. This is enough and it gives me a competitive advantage.
I have friends who are quite successful and I ask them, “How can you compete with those who sleep for 4 hours?” It's impossible, no matter how smart you are, you won't have enough time.' Trump explains.
Most people get up very early, sleep 4-5 hours and have their own morning rituals (we wrote about this in one of our recent posts)
3. Success breeds success.
« The best way to impress people is to show good results. It is easier for me to make deals because I have already won many victories. You need to be successful in order to impress people in business. If you are young and you have no success yet, then you need to create the impression of a successful person. You need something to build future victories on.' Trump says.
Start with something small. Get your body in order. Buy a good suit. Improve your marketing skills and promote your Instagram page or Facebook community. Do something well, it will become a habit and become your foundation.
4. Make decisions like a lover.
« Rich people make dozens of decisions in a day, hundreds in a month, and hundreds of thousands in their careers. And each solution is unique in its own way.
Sometimes you make a decision instantly. It's like love at first sight. Sometimes you make decisions slowly. Like it's a long prelude.
If you make every decision like a lover - conscientiously and with respect - the system will not limit you. You will adapt to any system.
Sometimes you will think with your head. Other times you will think with other parts of your body, and that's good. Some of the best business decisions are made out of passion." Trump thinks.
Use your instincts to the fullest. Do not only what your head tells you, but also what your whole body and soul tells you to do. Such business decisions will be the best.
There are no universal formulas for success, a script on how to become rich or a template for winning.
The entrepreneurial mindset is the only thing that cannot be outsourced and therefore must be worked on in the first place if you want to achieve results in business and life.
5. Be curious
« A successful person is always curious. I don't know why this is so, but it certainly is. You must show a keen interest in what surrounds you, and be "hungry" in everything that concerns the understanding of the world around you. Otherwise, you won't be able to see beyond your nose.." Trump thinks.
Your curiosity affects your income in the most direct way. You are interested in what rich people do, what their secret is, you study it and find some new ways for yourself to financial freedom.
For example, rich people teach their children from childhood how to be rich. From childhood, they lay the foundation in them - the thinking of a rich person.
Trump too.
How Trump Raises Rich Kids
Trump's children are not like other wealthy heirs. They don’t get married for 72 days like the Kardashians, they don’t make a mess at international airports, they don’t beat cars, they don’t drink Dom Perignon by the liter, they don’t beat expensive cars and they don’t boast of their wealth like the children of the CIS oligarchs.
The Trump kids are responsible, hardworking people who don't drink or sniff cocaine.
They work for their father's companies. And not because dad agreed.
And because they deserve it. Trump's older children Donald Jr., Ivanka Trump and Eric are executive vice presidents at the Trump Organization.
Here is Ivanka Trump's speech Republican National Convention with Father's Support
Trump's 5 Rules About Parenting
- “Be an example. The children are watching and they will imitate what they have seen.”
- “Set the bar high. Challenge is good, and achievement becomes the basis of self-respect.”
- "Emphasize the importance of education, this is the basis of success."
- “Let children know that they are exceptional, so they are expected to perform exceptionally.”
- “Teach children a sense of community through participation in the lives of others and philanthropy. Giving back is a big reward.”
Yes, Trump has not always been around the children, he divorced their mother Ivanna Trump when their children were 13, 11 and 8 years old. However, he was always in touch and taught them to think like rich and successful people.
By doing this, he did much more than leaving a million-dollar inheritance.
P.S. I have long accepted the idea that you have to think like a rich person in order to get results like a rich person.
However, it was very difficult for me to work on thinking.
I have suffered from Attention Disorder since childhood. My brain is working against me.
So I needed the easiest way to work on replacing toxic beliefs with promotional ones.
I have tried over 100 different tools.
The fastest results were given by affirmations - positive statements that need to be listened to for only a few minutes a day and they gradually replace toxic ones. It literally "reprograms" the brain for success.
Trumps is a famous, close-knit, friendly wealthy clan that is beyond most people's dreams.very interesting, he was married three times, has five children and 8 grandchildren.
Trump clan
In the second presidential debate, Hillary Clinton was asked to name one positive side of Trump. “His children are worthy of respect. They are incredibly capable and dedicated. I think that says a lot about Donald,” she replied.

Donald Trump with family
Donald Trump's ex-wife Ivana gave him three children - Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric. Parents raised their children in strictness and were scrupulous about the question of who their heirs spend time with. They taught them not to trust anyone and the only one they let into their playroom was Michael Jackson.
Jackson lived for a time in an apartment in Trump Tower and was a neighbor of the Trump family. In her new book, Ivana said that the king of pop often dropped by to visit them: “He talked with Donald for 20 minutes, and then played with the children for hours. He was a 30-year-old child, and therefore understood Ivanka and the boys better than us. My children only played with him,” writes the ex-wife of the President of the United States.
“They watched MTV, played Tetris and built Lego,” Ivana recalls. “There were always nannies in the room with them, and I will never believe that he could harm anyone. He himself was a child in a male body, ”said the fashion model.
Recall that Michael Jackson was twice accused of child molestation. In 1993, the father of 13-year-old Jordan Chandler sued the singer. Michael managed to prove his innocence, but George's dad retracted his testimony only after he received $ 22 million from the pop king. After the singer's death in 2009, the boy's father admitted that he had slandered the artist for the sake of money.
The second case occurred in 2003 and with an identical plot. This time, Michael allegedly committed illegal acts against 13-year-old Gavin Arvizo. For two years there were proceedings, during which Jackson claimed that they were simply extorting money from him. Ultimately, he was acquitted.
The 10-year-old son of Donald Trump has recently become the object of malicious ridicule from Internet users. To many, his behavior at public events seems strange, in connection with which some bloggers diagnosed autism in the boy in absentia.
Let's try to figure out what he really is, Barron Trump.
- Barron was born on March 20, 2006 to Donald and Melania Trump. By standard standards, he can be considered a late child. At the time of the boy's birth, his father was almost 60 years old, and his mother was 36.
- Trump's inner circle believes that of the president's five children, Barron is the most similar to him, not only in appearance, but also in habits.
- Unlike many other rich people, Trump and his wife refused the services of nannies. Trump commented on it like this
- Melania Trump calls her son "Little Donald". She believes that Barron is as "strong in spirit", "independent", "stubborn", "who knows exactly what he wants" as his father.
- The boy is fluent in Slovenian, which is his mother's native language. Melania from the very birth of the boy spoke to him in her native language.
- Barron attends a prestigious New York school that costs $45,000 a year. However, for Trump, these are mere pennies.
- Barron hasn't moved to the White House yet. He will stay with his mother in New York for at least another 6 months to finish the school year.
- Barron will cost New Yorkers $1 million a day. That's how much it costs to ensure the safety of the president's son. The taxpayers will, of course, pay for security.
- Barron is a computer genius. His ability delights his father: "He's so good with these computers...it's incredible!"
- In Trump's New York apartment, the boy has an entire floor at his disposal, where he can do whatever he wants, even paint the walls and floor. Melania Trump explains it this way:
- Barron doesn't like sportswear. He prefers business suits and ties.
- From school subjects, the boy prefers mathematics and natural sciences..
- Barron enjoys dining alone with his father and playing golf with him. The boy is also partial to tennis and baseball. Trump proudly refers to his youngest son as an "athlete."
- The boy likes to play alone. He can spend hours assembling huge structures from the designer, approaching this matter thoroughly and thoroughly. He never complains about being bored and always finds something to do.
- He was subjected to severe public ridicule. Barron's "strange" behavior is being actively discussed on the Internet. So, it seemed abnormal to many that during the speech of his father after winning the election, the boy did not express joy at all, yawned and struggled with sleep (this was at 3 o'clock in the morning).
Trump's former butler recounted how he once served two-year-old Barron breakfast. The boy looked at him from the height of his chair and said sternly:
"Sit down, Tony. We need to talk"
.
“When you have a lot of outside help, you hardly know your children”
Melania is raising her son herself:
“I am a full-time mom. This is my main job. I make him breakfast, take him to school, pick him up and spend the rest of the day with him.”
“We let him be creative, let his imagination fly… When he was younger, he started drawing on the walls… One day he was playing bakery and he wrote on the wall with colored pencils: “Barron’s Bakery.” He is very creative. If a child is forbidden all the time, then how can his creative abilities develop?

During Trump's inauguration, the child smiled inappropriately, swayed and behaved rudely with his mother.
Trump's son during the inauguration
When Trump signed his first presidential decrees in front of journalists, the boy, paying no attention to anyone, played with his six-month-old nephew, the son of Ivanka Trump, which also caused a heated discussion on social networks.

Barron got the first number: he was called both "autistic", and "school shooter at home schooling", and "vampire" (due to pallor), and Joffrey Baratheon (a negative character from "Game of Thrones"), and "freak" , and even a future maniac. However, many were outraged by such a mockery of the child. Monica Lewinsky and Chelsea Clinton spoke in his defense.
