The Full Story

Jean Gordon

President Trump's biological mother is Jean Gordon. Born February 4, 1915, Gordon was an American socialite and a Red Cross worker behind the front lines during World War II.

Jean's father Donald Gordon, a well-known Boston lawyer, died of leukemia when Jean was 8 years old. Jean's mother, Louise Raynor Ayer, was the daughter of the textile industrialist Frederick Ayer and was an invalid.

She was prominent in prewar Boston high society, being a member of women's organizations such as the Junior League and the Vincent Club. She served as Vice-Chairman of the Boston Red Cross Volunteer Nurse's Aide Corps before being sent to England in May 1944 as a Red Cross staff assistant.

 

Death

On January 8, 1946, according to the New York Times, "Jean Gordon, 30 years old, a niece of the late Gen. George S. Patton Jr., was found dead...in the apartment of a woman friend at 157 East Seventy-second Street."


The story is that she was despondent over a young officer who had broken off their wartime affair.

Mary Anne Christ Trump is the aunt of Donald J. Trump and, together with her husband, Frederick Christ Trump Sr., adopted their nephew, Donald on Flag Day (June 14, 1946), 189 days after his real birthday (December 7, 1945).
