-Somebody keeps putting up information that Trump's ancestors are from Baden-Baden Germany.  This is from a German website "People from Baden Baden"  (view this article's history, in particular  http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Donald_Trump&oldid=3367622) that claims that Trump's grandfather (with the surname of Trumpf) came from Baden-Baden, and that Fred Trumpf changed the name to "Trump" to avoid anti-German sentiment.  But page 66 of  "Art of the Deal", written  by <b>Donald Trump</b>, definitively says that his grandfather came from Sweden.  Also, the Lehigh University information is also incorrect. (Wikipedia occasionally has people who will deliberately put in bogus information as a joke to see if people are gullible enough to swallow it).
+ Sincerely,
-:I was the one who added the Lehigh connection, and it certainly wasn't a joke.  I was relying on [http://www.sellingpower.com/article/display.asp?aid=SP9574056&pageTitle=DonaldXXZZTrumpXXZZ(V13N6P17) this profile] from ''Selling Power'' magazine.  If Trump describes his educational background in ''The Art of the Deal'', I'd agree that it's a better source.  (On some subjects I'd leave open the possibility that Trump was lying in his book, but he probably wouldn't lie about that.)  Does the book discuss his academic career?

+ Mr. Clarence Henderson, Jr.
-::<i>Art of the Deal</i> does discuss his undergraduate career, on page 77 of the paperback edition.  Lehigh University is never mentioned nor is it in the index. An excerpt (from pages 76-78):
+ Drum Corps Director
-:::<blockquote><table border=1 cellspacing=0><tr><td><i>After I graduated from the New York Military Academy in 1964 I flirted briefly with the idea of attending film school...But in the end I decided real estate was a much better business.  I began by attending Fordham University...but after two years, I decided that as long as I had to be in college, I might as well test myself against the best. I applied to the Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania and I got in...I was also very glad to get finished. I immediately moved back home and went to work full-time with my father.</i></blockquote></td></tr></table>
-::Buy the book -- it's only $6 paperback (about the cost of a movie), and a good read.  You'll find that he wasn't exactly born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and that following in the "family business" wasn't easy, especially for his older brother who became an airline pilot.  It's all in the book.
-::: -- Anonymous
-I know in the past there's been some uncertainty on the article about whether he's of Swedish or German descent, but I think it's the latter, based on a NYT obit I cited in the article [[Fred Trump]]:
-:Frederick Christ (pronounced Krist) Trump was born in New York City in 1905. From World War II until the 1980's, Mr. Trump would tell friends and acquaintances that he was of Swedish origin, although both his parents were born in Germany. John Walter, his nephew and the family historian, explained, "He had a lot of Jewish tenants and it wasn't a good thing to be German in those days."

-== Background ==
-I'm nixing this:
-:His mother, who has family on Lewis in the Western Isles, probably named him "Donald", which in Gaelic means "proud" or "world ruler".  [[User:Astanhope|AStanhope]]
-I'm glad to see it go. I was never bold enough to remove it myself. [[User:Everyking|Everyking]] 02:01, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
-:The Donald would have encouraged decisive action on our part.  [[User:Astanhope|AStanhope]]
-::Is this our new standard for editing?  "What would Donald do?" :)  [[User:JamesMLane|JamesMLane]] 03:42, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
-I think that it's a little much to call him a "staunch opponent" of the Iraq War.  He expressed his opinion against it - it's not like he ran around speaking to rallies, funded anti-Bush candidates, etc.
-==Muddled sentence==
-I think the last sentence of the intro is a mess. Could someone who understands it rewrite it please? Thank you. [[User:Osomec|Osomec]] 21:59, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
