Undated: Was Donald Trump’s Mother an Illegal Immigrant?
Though her citizenship status was apparently incorrectly documented in the 1940 United States census, no evidence suggests Donald Trump's mother was ever in violation of any immigration laws prior to her naturalization in 1942.

Undated: Will Melania Trump’s Parents Become American Citizens via a Method Donald Trump Hates?
Most Americans know that First Lady Melania Trump isn’t from the United States. Both she and her family hail from Slovenia (which was a part of Yugoslavia during Melania’s childhood). Melania’s parents have long spent time in the United States with the Trumps. But rumor has it that Melania’s parents may become American citizens through an immigration path that Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized and even sought to end.

Trump's merit-basing system; restaurant operator in Alaska, said to own a brothel [see 2016 article link below] and should not have passed Trump merit-based immigration system.

June 16: trump On his wealth: “I don’t need anybody’s money. It’s nice. I don’t need anybody’s money. I’m using my own money. I’m not using the lobbyists. I’m not using donors. I don’t care.

February 29: Newspaper clips obtained by VICE suggest the Republican frontrunner's father may have worn the robe and hood of a Klansman in 1927.
... the New York Times asked Donald Trump about the possibility that his father had been arrested at a Klan event. The younger Trump denied it all, telling interviewer Jason Horowitz that "it never happened" four times. When Horowitz asked if his father had lived at 175-24 Devonshire Road—the address listed for the Fred Trump arrested at the 1927 Klan rally—Donald dismissed the claim as "totally false."
Biographical records confirm that the Trump family did live on Wareham Place in Queens in the 1940s, when Donald was a kid. But according to at least one archived newspaper clip, Fred Trump also lived at 175-24 Devonshire Road: A wedding announcement in the January 22, 1936 issue of the Long Island Daily Press,places Fred Trump at that address, and refers to his wife as "Mary MacLeod," which is Donald Trump's mother's maiden name.
... three additional newspaper clips unearthed by VICE contain separate accounts of Fred Trump's arrest at the May 1927 KKK rally in Queens, each of which seems to confirm the Times account of the events that day. While the clips don't confirm whether Fred Trump was actually a member of the Klan, they do suggest that the rally—and the subsequent arrests—did happen, and did involve Donald Trump's father, contrary to the candidate's denials. A fifth article mentions the seven arrestees without giving names, and claims that all of the individuals arrested—presumably including Trump—were wearing Klan attire.

March 6:
Article about Freidrich Trump/Drumpf:
[Vowing to turn away immigrants and run America like his own business empire ... Donald Trump] has been less vocal about the root of his success: a chain of seedy brothels and restaurants setup by his immigrant grandfather Friedrich Drumpf.
Born in Germany, Friedrich took a boat to New York City at the age of 16 in 1885 to join his older sister and find work [ineligible chain migration].
The move sent him on a wild journey across America into the brothel industry of the Wild West [Alaska], making him a fortune - and allowing him to dodge army service and taxes back home in Germany.

March 22: Donald Trump Jr. criticized London Mayor Sadiq Khan after a terrorist attack in London today near the Houses of Parliament, referring to remarks Khan made in 2016.
On Twitter, Trump wrote, "You have to be kidding me?!: Terror attacks are part of living in a big city, says London Mayor Sadiq Khan." Accompanying the tweet was a link to a September story by The Independent, which reprinted a quote from Khan in The Evening Standard, in which he said the threat of attacks is "part and parcel of living in a big city."
Khan made the remarks to The Evening Standard shortly before a meeting with New York Mayor Bill de Blasio in September. Days before, a pressure cooker bomb injured dozens of people in New York City's Chelsea neighborhood.
"It is a reality, I'm afraid, that London, New York, other major cities around the world have got to be prepared for these sorts of things," Khan said at the time.

April 4: Eric Trump: 'Nepotism Is Kind of a Factor of Life'
Eric Trump, who, along with his brother Donald Trump Jr. took over the family real estate business when his father became President, said nepotism got him his foot in the door, but didn’t necessary play a role in his advancement.
“Nepotism is kind of a factor of life. We might be here because of nepotism, but we’re not still here because of nepotism,” Eric Trump told Forbes. “You know, if we didn’t do a good job, if we weren’t competent, believe me, we wouldn’t be in this spot.”
While Eric and his brother currently run the Trump Organization, their sister Ivanka resigned from the company after the 2016 election and recently announced she was officially joining the White House as an assistant to the President.
