Summary
Updated 2026-08-26

Frederick Crist Trump Jr. was an American airplane pilot and maintenance worker. The eldest son of real-estate businessman Fred Trump Sr., he fell out of his father's favor and became an airline pilot instead of taking over the family business, leading to his younger brother Donald Trump taking over the business instead. According to his daughter Mary, both Fred Sr. and Donald disparaged Fred Jr. for this decision. By the early 1970s, he could no longer function as a pilot due to his alcoholism, a condition that also contributed to his fatal heart attack at the age of 42.
