Who were Donald Trump's parents? Fred Trump was an American construction mogul who began his career as a teen, while Mary Anne MacLeod was a Scottish immigrant who worked as a ‘domestic servant'
He's a reality TV star turned controversial, two-term president of the United States of America, which means that every move Donald Trump makes is heavily scrutinised. And while his current marriage , business dealings and political dramas are all regular public fodder, what do we know about his past – specifically his late parents? Born to construction mogul Fred Trump and Scottish immigrant Mary Anne MacLeod Trump, Donald Trump is one of five children. Advertisement Mary Trump and Fred Trump attending the PAL dinner in 1987, at New York's Plaza Hotel. Millionaire real estate developer Fred Trump died in 1999 at 93, while his wife, Mary Anne MacLeod, who died a year later, aged 88, was originally a poor Scottish immigrant who went to New York in search of work as a 'domestic servant'. She became one of New York's richest residents after her marriage. Here's the story of the Trumps. Fred Trump: the patriarch Donald Trump with his parents, Fred and Mary. Frederick Christ Trump Sr was born in New York in 1905. He was just 15 and still at school when he started his own construction company. According to The New York Times, he focused on building car garages and his mother, Elizabeth, acted as his business partner, since he was legally too young to sign business documents.

His meteoric rise in the construction world saw him build more than 27,000 apartments in the two boroughs, with The New York Times calling him 'one of New York City's major postwar builders'. Despite his enormous wealth, Fred was described as a 'frugal' man by those who knew him. His one luxury was his car: a navy blue Cadillac that was meticulously maintained and replaced every three years. At the time of his death his estate was estimated to be worth US$300 million.

'Clear definition of gig workers needed'
'Clear definition of gig workers needed' Roy Ying says any definition of gig workers has to be precise and not overly broad, to help prevent possible disputes. File photo: RTHK A human resources expert said a lack of clarity over the definition of gig workers is hindering efforts to protect these employees in Hong Kong. Gig workers often refer to people who are paid per task, or in short-term and freelance work arrangements, rather than permanent employment. Typical examples include private tutors; hourly staff at exhibitions, events and restaurants; and content creators on social media. But there's no statutory definition. A 2020 report by the Law Reform Commission estimated that there may be as many as 700,000 gig workers in the city. The government has taken steps to better protect their rights, such as by revising the 'continuous contract' rule under the Employment Ordinance. Legislative amendments are currently vetted by the Legislative Council. If passed, people who work a total of 68 hours over four-week periods are entitled to statutory employment benefits, such as minimum wage, paid leave and work-injury compensation. It's a different story for the estimated 114,000 delivery couriers and ride-hailing drivers in the city, who are largely classified as freelancers, which means they don't enjoy statutory benefits. Last year, when Deliveroo exited Hong Kong, about 12,000 delivery couriers were left without severance pay or long-term service payment because the platform treated them as independent contractors. And recent rulings offered different views of employment status. In 2023, the Labour Tribunal ruled that six gig workers for the now-defunct Zeek delivery platform were employees, citing factors such as the company's control over work, pay structure and restrictions on subcontracting, which established an employment relationship. But in a more recent District Court decision involving a Deliveroo rider seeking compensation for work injury, the court found that the rider was an independent contractor, not an employee. In an interview with RTHK, Roy Ying, co-chair of the advocacy and policy research committee at the Hong Kong Institute of Human Resource Management, called on the government to step in and provide clarity. 'I'm actually more inclined to think that if a delivery worker only works a few hours a week, that is more likely to be a gig worker, unless the delivery worker is working near full-time,' he said. 'And that's why I think the statute needs to have a little bit more clarity, because if we rely on the judgement, as you can see, the District Court, the tribunals, they are the lower courts. There could be future appeals, and that is just adding uncertainty.' Ying added that the definition of gig workers has to be precise and not overly broad. "We also have to be mindful about the cost of compliance because there could be hundreds of thousands of gig workers around Hong Kong. 'And if we are setting the rules in a lenient way, then that means more people will claim that they are employees and that is going to open up quite a lot of disputes.' Ying stressed the need to reach a consensus through dialogue, with the government holding a longer public consultation and engaging all stakeholders. He also said Hong Kong could follow in the footsteps of the UK and establish a third type of employment status, between employees and the self-employed, so as to grant gig workers partial employment rights. 'The government can do a pilot case, ringfencing this special categorisation in one or two different sectors and see how it runs for one or two years before it is rolled out to different sectors. I think that is more of a prudent approach,' he said. 'It's pretty obvious. It's got to be all the platform workers, for example, the Uber drivers and the food delivery people.'

Stupidity researchers: Trump's policies not just dumb but stupid
Before he stepped down as Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau called Donald Trump's tariff policies 'very dumb.' This might be an accurate description of many Trump administration policies — but the more objectively correct word is 'stupid.' In fact, Québec's largest newspaper, Le Journal de Montréal , published a front-page photo of Trump in early February with the word 'stupid' in 350-point type. Some may call this an opinion, but the science of stupidity tells us that it's more of a definition. Recent research has produced a succinct label for the poorly calculated actions of decision-makers: stupidity. This is not simple name-calling, but a phenomenon that comprises loss and features a set of actions that are either outright recognizably dysfunctional, or appear so at odds with any sensible course of action that it seems a hidden agenda could be involved. According to the seminal and transactional view of human stupidity by Carlo Cipolla, the late Italian economic historian, interactions fall into four categories: Intelligent interaction that is beneficial to all – a positive-sum game like Scottish philosopher Adam Smith's notion of wealth through specialization and trade; Helpless interaction that results in a loss in a zero-sum game; Bandit interaction that results in a gain in zero-sum game; Stupid interactions that cause all parties to suffer losses. Free trade is based on an intelligent positive-sum interaction. Trump's transactional zero-sum view is that for every winner there is a loser. He apparently doesn't understand that tariffs are only successful if other countries don't retaliate. But other countries do retaliate, and as the world is now witnessing, the resulting trade war can decimate the global economy. Trump's protectionist measures aimed at boosting the US economy can therefore be considered 'stupid' interactions that risk deepening and lengthening an economic depression. Modern-day researchers have also identified three recognizable sets of actions embodying stupidity: Confident ignorance involves people taking risks without having the necessary skills to deal with them. It's not just being ignorant of one's ignorance — explained by the Dunning-Kruger effect — but being self-assured despite contrary evidence. Trump may know what he does not know, so he delegated many tasks to Tesla founder Elon Musk and trade tariff architect Pete Navarro, both of whom seem to possess no such awareness. Absent-minded failure means people knew the right thing to do but were not paying sufficient attention to avoid doing something stupid. Organizations create agendas, but if issues don't reach a point where they seriously impact the organization's objectives, they are ignored. An example: the recent US strikes against Yemeni Houthis. US officials ignored critical security components by sharing information about their plans over unsecure connections and with a member of the media. Lack of control means that autocratic decision-makers compromise their organizations by failing to accept objections from those charged with implementing the leader's preconceived plans. Such autocratic decision-makers may select biased information to support their proposals. People working under those leaders either buy into efforts to selectively use information, limit alternatives and execute these preconceived plans or they leave the organization (either voluntarily or not). In the US, witness the firing of Justice Department pardon attorney Elizabeth Oyer. She failed to support restoring gun rights to actor Mel Gibson, who had been convicted of domestic violence in 2011. Gibson's pardon was reportedly based on his personal relationship with the president. Organizational researchers have used the term functional stupidity to describe those who refuse to use their intellectual capacities when making decisions and then avoid justification for their actions. This allows group members to quickly execute routine functions without much thought. Dysfunctional stupidity is a lack of organizationally supported reflection, reasoning and justification. Organizations fail to use intellectual resources to process knowledge or question norms or claims of knowledge when confronted with new or non-routine decisions. By blocking communications, muffling criticism and squelching doubts, organizations ensure adherence to superiors' edicts. One Trump administration example is the unquestioning permission given to allow the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), headed by Musk, to gain access to a wide array of government data. It can take the combined efforts of organizational officials on multiple levels to maintain stupidity. Individually, stupidity is reinforced by ignoring crucial information because of a need for a rapid response. Consequently, quick decisions and shortcuts made by individuals result in negative outcomes. An example would be the Trump administration's apparent need to appear to find cost savings quickly to allow for tax cuts, overriding a more logical approach to find ways to achieve those savings without gutting legally mandated services. Organizationally, stupidity is reinforced because organizations limit acceptable alternative behaviors when they cannot process all available information. Data are restricted, controls are tightened and organization officials fall back to using previously well-learned responses in their comfort zones. Inexperienced decision-makers fall back on uninformed assumptions, or no assumptions at all. Witness Trump's 'reciprocal' trade tariffs that battered financial markets worldwide, finally causing him to hit the pause button. No tariffs were calculated using current tariff rates, while some were based on American trade deficits with other countries. Other tariffs seem to be based on no rationale at all. Some actions that appear stupid may simply hide a hidden agenda. When the Trump administration erroneously detains and deports anyone under the Alien Enemies Act, is it an accident – or is it a way to instill the fear that authorities can detain, mistreat and deport anyone without due process at any point? Many of the actions being taken by the Trump administration appear stupid. Tariffs, for example, represent a loss — a transactionally negative sum game. Trump's decisions exhibit confident ignorance, absent-minded failure and lack of control. They also show dysfunctional stupidity as Trump officials seemingly refuse to use their full intellectual resources. Stupidity is also being reinforced through unfounded assumptions. Is this all hiding a secret agenda? 'You can't fix stupid,' so the saying goes. But having capable administrators in place while other branches of government exercise their constitutionally mandated oversight role might dampen some of the Trump administration's stupidity.
