Fred Trump was an American real-estate developer who started in home construction and sales in the 1920s, later leading the successful Trump Organization. He built and managed numerous properties, including single-family houses and apartments for war workers during World War II. Despite facing investigations for profiteering, his company thrived. He and his son, Donald Trump, faced legal challenges over racial discrimination. Fred supported Jewish causes and distanced himself from his German heritage to avoid associations with Nazism. He passed on his wealth to his children, who profited significantly from his business ventures.
