Donald Trump's father is a bloodline relative to Adolf Hitler, Germany.

The family tree history and various reports prove that President Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, is not a bloodline relative to Adolf Hitler.

The family tree history and various reports prove that President Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump, is not a bloodline relative to Adolf Hitler.Adolf Hitler was born on April 20, 1889, in Austria and died on April 30, 1945, in Berlin, Germany. His father was Alois Hitler, and Klara Pölzl was his mother. Alois Hitler Sr. was an Austrian civil servant and the father of the future dictator of Nazi Germany. Alois Hitler was born on June 18, 1837, in Austria to Johann Georg Heidler and Maria Anna Schicklgruber. Johann was born in 1792. His parents were Martin Hiedler and Anna Maria Gröschl.

Following several thorough investigations, Hitler's only five living relations have been discovered. These five descendants of the German Nazi leader are the two sons of Hitler's half-sister, Angela Hitler, Peter Raubal and Heiner Hochegger, and the three other sons of Alois Hitler, Jr., the dictator's half-brother – Alexander, Louis, and Brian Stuart-Houston. Their relationship to Adolf Hitler is akin to that of great-nephews, through Adolf's half-sister and half-brother.

Donald Trump's grandfather, Friedrich Trump, emigrated to the U.S from Germany in 1885 at the age of 16. In 1902, Friedrich married Elisabeth Christ and had three children: Elizabeth Trump, Frederick Christ Trump Sr, and John G.Trump.

Frederick Christ Trump Sr. was a prominent American real estate developer in New York City and father of Donald Trump, the 45th President of the United States. In partnership with his mother, Elizabeth Christ, Fred had begun a career in home construction and sales.

Though the Trump family's roots originate from Kallstadt, a village in the Palatine part of Rhineland-Palatinate, one of Germany's 16 federal states, there is no evidence that they belong or are related to Hitler's family lineage.
