Donald John Trump was born on June 14, 1946 and raised in Queens, New York City, New York.  
He received a BA in Economics from the Wharton School of the U. of Pennsylvania where he attended from 1966 to 1968.  His profession was that of a businessman who became a television personality with such programs as The Apprentice.   
                                                     
He's been married 3 times.  His first marriage was to Ivana Trump that he married in 1977 which ended in divorce in 1992.  He married Marla Maples in 1993 and that ended in 1999.  His 3rd marriage was with Melania Trump in 2005 and they are still married.  Donald has 5 children.  Barron Trump's mother is Melania Trump.  Tiffany's mother is Marla Maples.  Ivanka, Donald Jr and Eric are the children of his 1st marriage to Ivana Trump. 
                                                      

His daughter, Ivanka, is married to Jared Kushner whose occupation is also real estate and he is Donald's advisor about Israel, being an Orthodox Jew himself.  

Donald is said to be worth 2.1 billion dollars.  It comes from his real estate dealings.  He was also the builder of hotels.

     ''Trump’s father, Frederick Trump, was a builder and real estate developer who specialized in constructing and operating middle-income apartments in Queens, Staten Island and Brooklyn.  Trump’s mother, Mary MacLeod, immigrated from Tong, Scotland, in 1929 at the age of 17. She and Fred Trump married in 1936.   His mother had done the raising, and being from Scotland, was also a Presbyterian, which she passed down to Donald as well. The couple settled in Jamaica, Queens, a neighborhood that was, at the time, filled with Western European immigrants. As the family’s wealth increased, Mary became a New York socialite and philanthropist.''

Trump was almost the  youngest child, with an older brother Fred Jr who became an alcoholic and has passed away in 1981 and 2 sisters, Maryanne  who is now a judge, Elizabeth  and a younger brother, Robert.  
"At age 13 in 1959, Trump’s parents sent him to the New York Military Academy, hoping the discipline of the school would channel his energy in a positive manner. He did well at the academy, both socially and academically, rising to become a star athlete and student leader by the time he graduated in 1964" at age 18.  
As a retired teacher, I can see him being a very rambuncious boy who was hard to handle, possibly with hyper tendencies and a dislike for sitting where neither parent could tame him.  They had the money to send him off, something they do more frequently in Great Britain. 
                                                               

Trump had been a Democrat but ran for president on the Republican ticket.  By winning the 2017 race, he became hated by the Democrats and disliked by the Republicans with their old guard.  Trump has been liked by people who were looking for someone who would act outside the box of the usual thinking;  someone who was not a politician, and being a businessman makes him most favorable.       
                                                                        

In his 1997 book Trump: The Art of the Comeback, Trump says he decided to buy the Miss Universe pageant because "it’s about fun; and it’s about beauty, the ultimate beauty — that of a woman."  He loves beautiful  women. He's not unlike many men.

He has broken the mold by backing Israel in several ways.  The last act of Obama was to not put forth any backing on a UN resolution against Israel, and this was an act thought to be followed up by Hillary if she won the presidential seat of power as she was his Secretary of State.  It is already showing favoritism with Joe Biden who will follow no doubt in Obama's shoes.  Trump has moved the US Embassy  from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, an important step for Israelis and was something promised by many presidents who failed to do so.  He also recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, another failed move by US presidents.   Netanyahu also was happy with Trump's vowing to fix or scrap the Iran nuclear deal.
In doing so, the Israeli leader likened Trump to Harry Truman, Lord Balfour — and Cyrus the Great.
"I want to tell you that the Jewish people have a long memory, so we remember the proclamation of the great king, Cyrus the Great, the Persian king 2,500 years ago. He proclaimed that the Jewish exiles in Babylon could come back and rebuild our Temple in Jerusalem. We remember a hundred years ago, Lord Balfour, who issued the Balfour Proclamation that recognized the rights of the Jewish people in our ancestral homeland. We remember 70 years ago, President Harry S. Truman was the first leader to recognize the Jewish state. And we remember how a few weeks ago, President Donald J. Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital. Mr. President, this will be remembered by our people through the ages."
Trump's Christian base comments with " Mike Evans told the Christian Broadcasting Network that Cyrus “was used as an instrument of God for deliverance in the Bible, and God has used this imperfect vessel, this flawed human being like you or I, this imperfect vessel, and he’s using him in an incredible, amazing way to fulfill his plans and purposes.”
Here's the world's attitude about his help, something I've had to adjust to:On December 6, shortly after Trump's statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the announcement was a "historic landmark" and praised the decision as "courageous and just". During his remarks Netanyahu said there is "no peace that doesn't include Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel", adding that Jerusalem has "been the capital of Israel for nearly 70 years". He later said that he has heard condemnation about the announcement but has "not heard any condemnation for the rocket firing against Israel that has come and the awful incitement against us"  Trump's move was a sane one,moral, fair, just and noble.  Firing rockets at civilians is not, but look who gets chastised.
