Trump was born in Queens, New York, to Mary Anne (née MacLeod) and Fred Trump, who married in 1936. His mother was born on the Isle of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland.[21] Donald was one of five children. Donald's oldest brother, Fred Jr., died in 1981 at the age of 43.[22] Trump's paternal grandparents were German immigrants.[23] His grandfather, Frederick Trump (né Friedrich Drumpf), migrated to the United States in 1885 and became a naturalized United States citizen in 1892. Frederick married Elisabeth Christ (October 10, 1880 – June 6, 1966)[24] at Kallstadt, Bavaria, Germany, on August 26, 1902. They had three children.
Trump attended the Kew-Forest School in Forest Hills, Queens, as did some of his siblings. At age 13 after he had some difficulties there, his parents sent him to the New York Military Academy (NYMA), hoping to direct his energy and assertiveness in a positive manner.[25] At NYMA, in rural New York, Trump earned academic honors,[citation needed] and played varsity football in 1962,[citation needed] varsity soccer in 1963,[citation needed] and varsity baseball from 1962 to 1964[citation needed] (baseball captain 1964[citation needed]).
Trump attended Fordham University in the Bronx for two years before transferring to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania because Wharton then had one of the few real estate departments in U.S. academia.[26] He graduated in 1968 with a Bachelor of Science degree in economics.[27
