Note: This article refers to Fred Trump's father as "Friedrich Trump". While Friedrich Trump did apparently change his name to Frederick at some point during his life, it would be best for this article to be consistent in naming him, preferably using his birth name, which differs from Fred Trump's birth name, which is, in fact, Frederick.

I AM NOT POLITICALLY MOTIVATED. NOT AMERICAN.

opening paragraph suffers from vague grammar and conflates fred trump with his son, donald. i propose the following rephrase.

CURRENT PHRASING: He was the father of Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States and current president-elect.

PROPOSED PHRASING: He was father of US president Donald Trump.

since the name donald trump remains hyperlinked, the reader may hover/click for further details.

it's a clean solution. Boondogglebob (talk) 13:21, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Fred Trump was not arrested in 1927 at a klan rally, he was detained for a short period of time and released. He was never charged or even taken into the precinct.

this should be corrected.

Do some research the records are available, I found them I’m sure you can too 2603:7000:C700:19E:EDB7:5F69:B7B8:8978 (talk) 13:16, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

@UpdateNerd I'm not saying that the comma in the beginning doesn't work, but I think the sentence flows better without it. Wikieditor662 (talk) 07:51, 30 January 2025 (UTC)
