1. Meaning of the Names: Donald John Trump
Donald is an Anglicization of the Scottish Gaelic name, Domhanll, which means world-ruler.
[2: Personal Names and Surnames of the Town of Inverness http://forebears.io/news/the-meaning-of-donald-trumps-name-and-surname
John: Trump's middle name is the English derivative of the Hebrew name, Yohanan, which means Graced by God.
The name of the Trump family in Germany had formally been Drumpf. Drumpf is a corruption of Trumpf, which may be derived from the German word, "trumme," meaning drummer.
It is likely that one of Trump's paternal ancestors was a military drummer, used set marching pace and communicate other orders.
Thus Donald Trump's full name literally means: the ruler of the world, graced by God and a descendant of a drummer.

The name Trump in English has several meanings.
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=trump
The main significance of the word is "winning card". From here it has come to signify be victorious, possibly related to "triumph".
Another meaning is "deceive, cheat", from Old French "Tromper". It has also been reported as connoting "play the fool" possibly connected to "trumpet."
[ All these meanings apply to D. Trump in different contexts. He is a winner, successful, and in general triumphant over his rivals. He is also an entertainer, with a deliberately provocative style, and outrageous statements and means of delivery.]
The Trump family seem to have been traditionally vineyard owners.
They came from Kallstadt which is near Alsace and the French border. It is in the Rhineland-Palatinate. Historically France had designs on this area and it could easily have belonged to France if history had have allowed it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2. The Heinz Family and John Kerry
The Heinz family also came from Kallstadt and the Trumps are related to them.
Heinz traditionally has had good relations with the Jewish community.
http://mosaicmagazine.com/picks/2016/04/how-the-heinz-company-pioneered-americas-best-known-kosher-symbol/
. . . [Around Passover], Heinz took the step of creating expensive and memorable ad campaigns warning its customers off its products during Passover.
http://www.heinzhistorycenter.org/blog/detre-library-archives/the-heinz-passover-ad-campaint
This ad and other versions of it across the years demonstrates the H.J. Heinz Company's sensitivity to its religiously-observant Jewish customers dietary needs. It is not often that a corporation purchases an ad urging customers not to buy its product. Heinz's annual pre-Passover statement is emblematic of the long and unique connection between the company and the Jewish community in Pittsburgh and beyond.
Heinz heiress Mrs. John Kerry, AKA Teresa Heinz Kerry, has however donated money to the enemies of Israel.
http://www.jewishpress.com/news/breaking-news/fund-headed-by-kerrys-wife-donated-to-anti-israel-conflict-kitchen/2014/10/26/
Teresa Heinz Kerry hoever is NOT a physical descendants of the Heinz family but rather the widow of Henry John Heinz III.
She herself is from Moazambique and of Portuguese descent.
Under Israeli law Heinz can no longer call its product "tomato ketchup" since its tomato content is not sufficient. In order to market in Israel Heinz must either increase the quantity of tomatoes or rename its sauce "Tomato Seasoning."
John Kerry (United States Secretary of State) is married to Heinz heiress Mrs. Teresa Heinz Kerry. The paternal grandparents of Kerry were Austro-Hungarian Jewish immigrants who converted to Catholicism.
Kerry is an Irish name. There is County Kerry in southwest Ireland. Irish converts to Judaism helped found the Jewish neighborhood of Mea Shearim. It is ironic that descendants of Jews like John Kerry are now Christians, have Irish names, and are critical of Israel whereas the offspring of Irishmen are Jewish, now bear Jewish names and live in Israel.

3. Jews and the Wine Industry in Medieval Times: Links to Trump?
Getting back to Trump:
The famous Jewish Rabbi, Rashi (1040-1105), was also a vine-grower and producer of wine. He dwelt in Troyes, Champagne, Northeast France, which is to the west of Germany but not that far away. Jews were prominent in viticulture (wine vines, etc) in those areas in early Medieval times. The Jews were continuing a tradition from the Land of Israel and probably contributed to developing the excellent wines grown in France and Western Germany.
Later persecutions and decrees forced the Jews to abandon this trade. Jews were killed, driven out, and then allowed back in on condition that they dwell only in the cities and not occupy themselves with agricultural pursuits. Jews were often attacked and forced upon pain of death to convert to Christianity.
If Trump is descended from Jews he may well trace his ancestry back to Jewish cultivators of the vine and producers of wine.
We have shown (in our work "The Tribes") how in the past the area from which the Trump family emerged was dominated by the Tribe of Manasseh.
This region of Germany was one in which many Israelites once were to be found. Most of them however moved out. Many of the Israelites who were once in Germany are now to be found in the USA.
Before World War 2 the south and west of Germany mainly supported the Catholic and Socialist parties. There were also many Nazis there but relatively less than in other areas. They may have been just as guilty as any other Germans for the Holocaust etc. Nevertheless during the Allied bombing raids against Germany the sentiment that this was a Divine Punishment for the way the Jews had been treated was widespread in this area.

4. Fred Trump (Senior)
Friederich TRUMP (Fred Trump senior) 1869-1918 was born in Kallstadt, Pfalz, Germany. When he was 16 he ran away to America.
For six years Fred remained on the east coast after which he went west to the gold fields of Washington, USA and then to Klondike in Canada.
Fred Trump senior in the USA teamed up with Ernest Levin in the saloon business serving gold-miners. This was the beginning of the Trump fortune. Levine is a Russian Jewish name. It means Levi.

Ernest Levin had a drinking problem. The partnership split up in 1901.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Trump
Fred senior tried to return to Bavaria which then ruled over Kallstadt in Germany but the officials would not let him stay since he was considered a draft dodger.
Fred then married Elizabeth Christ and returned to the USA.

5. Fred Trump (Junior)
Frederick Christ (Fred) TRUMP (b. 1905 in Queens, New York), died of pneumonia in 1999 at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, New Hyde Park, New York.
His wife, nee Mary Anne MACLEOD born in 1912 in Isle of Lewis, Scotland died in 2000 at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, New Hyde Park, NY.
http://mileswmathis.com/trump.pdf
Note that both parents of Donald Trump' died at Long Island Jewish Medical Center.
The Trumps from the time of the First World War in the USA and for long afterwards tried to hide their German origins and claimed to be Swedish. Donald protested to his father about the need for this.
Nevertheless in his autobiography (1987) Donald claimed Swedish ancestry. Later Donald had second thoughts and became openly proud of his ancestors from Kallstadt.
In 1999 Donald served as Grand Marshal (ceremonial head) of the German-American Steuben Parade in New York City.
In 2016 Donald was the Grand Marshal of the annual 'Salute to Israel' parade.
Fred Trump Junior gave money to Jewish causes including Jewish Religious institutions.

6. "Freddy" Trump, Brother of Donald, claimed to be Jewish
"Freddy" the elder brother of Donald claimed that his father, real-estate magnate Fred Trump Sr., was actually the Jewish son of German immigrants.
"Freddy" joined a Jewish fraternity at Lehigh College which at that time had a quota policy against Jews.
"Freddy" "died from alcoholism in 1999 at the age of 43. His story is often cited as the reason why Donald Trump does not drink.
"The offspring of "Freddy" had a dispute with Donald over the will of Fred Trump senior who reportedly disowned them. They claimed Donald was responsible for some of their difficulties.

7. Mary Anne Trump and the Israelite/Jewish Connection of the Scottish Island of Lewis
Mary Anne Trump (born MACLEOD) came from the Island of Lewis in the Hebrides, Scotland.
The name LEWIS is one of the names (like Davis) that for some reason Jews in Britain had the custom of adopting whereas other names they kept away from.
This name has been associated with Levi.
The Hebrides are named after the Hebrews. This root "Heber" meaning Hebrew was common in the British Isles.
The Hebrides Islands are near the Orkney Islands and are often associated with them.
A portion of these people were associated in the past with Jews and with Israelites.
A Latin chronicle, "Historia Norwegiae," Chapter VI ('Concerning the Orkney Islands') from the 1200s CE describes the population of the Orkneys at the time of annexation by Norway. There were two different peoples, the Pap and the Peti. The Papi appear to be Celtic Christians possibly from Ireland. The Peti are identified as Picts. It is said that the Peti,
"little exceeded pigmies in stature; they did marvels, in the morning and in the evening, in building [walled] towns, but at mid-day they entirely lost all their strength, and lurked, through fear, in little underground houses.
And the Papae have been named from their white robes, which they wore like priests; . An island is still called, after them, Papey .... But, as is observed from their habit and the writings of their books abandoned there, they were Africans, adhering to Judaism."
The Papae in this case may have been either Irish Celts or Picts related to the Caledonians. They were described above as adherents of Judaism and had arrived via North Africa.

8. "a double-headed eagle reminiscent of the Holy Roman Empire."
The Logo of the Trump International Golf Links Scotland golf resort is in the form of a coat of arms. It was adopted in 2012 and depicts a standing lion holding a pennant and a double-headed eagle reminiscent of the Holy Roman Empire.
The Holy Roman Empire is otherwise referred to as the First Reich. It was ruled mainly by Germans and its center was in Germany.

9. Donald Prefers Religious Jews
Donald Trump grew up with Jews, associated with them, gave money to their causes, and employed them. He is quoted as preferring Religious Jews:
Quote.
"The only kind of people I want counting my money are little short guys that wear yarmulkes [Jewish skull caps] every day."

10. Ivanka
Ivanka Trump converted to Orthodox Judaism in 2009. She married Jared Kushner. They have three children. Donald has spoken fondly about having Jewish grandchildren.
Ivanka is reported as contributing to Chabad, Jewish Ritual Baths [mikvaoth], and Jewish Medical Emergency Aid services [Hatzalah].
Ivanka is a Sabbath observer; and keeps 'glatt kosher' i.e. very strict observance of the dietary laws.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
11. Trump Children who are not Officially Jewish
Donald Trump Jr is the eldest son of Donald. He married model Vanessa Kay Haydon who is of Jewish and Danish descent. They have 5 chidren.
After Donald Jr came Ivanka who converted to Judaism, then came:
Eric Frederick Trump married Lara Lea Yunaska under a "crystal-embellished chuppah" i.e. Jewish marriage canopy. Lara Lea is Jewish and worked for a Jewish news service.
Tiffany Ariana Trump (born October 13, 1993) is an American internet personality, singer and model. She is unmarried as yet.
Barron Trump (b. 2006) is still young.
All of the three children of Donald who are married have spouses that are Jewish or partly Jewish.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
12. Religion
Trump claims the Bible as his favorite book
http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/1.700648
Donald Trump's parents belonged to the Reformed Church in America, although he was confirmed at one of the Presbyterian Church (USA) congregations himself.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
13. Israel
Donald received the Jewish National Fund's Tree of Life Award in 1983 for outstanding contributions to Israel-United States relations.
The plaque hangs prominently in his office.
http://attorneysdefendingisrael.blogspot.co.il/2015/12/donald-trumps-tree-of-life-plaque-when.html
All indications are that Donald as President will be good for Israel.
There are those however who have expressed doubts on this matter:
# On the other hand, Trump's declaration that he has 'real doubts' whether Israelis and Palestinians really want peace sounds less unmoored from reality, if not pessimistic about any future peace process: "A lot will have to do with Israel and whether or not Israel wants to make the deal - whether or not Israel's willing to sacrifice certain things," Trump said. "They may not be, and I understand that, and I'm OK with that. But then you're just not going to have a deal." Trump's willing to let Putin run amok in Israel's backyard; he laments Saddam Hussein's downfall; and by indicating he would accept the status quo of Israel's occupation and the lack of negotiations with the Palestinians, he shows how little he's really invested in the future for democracy in Israel or Palestine. #

As far as we know Donald Trump is not yet a regular subscriber to the Brit-Am/Hebrew Nations e-mail List.
No-body is perfect.
