Trump and the` Genius Uncle’ from Massachusetts

As a historian of Greater Boston’s 20th century tech sector, I have long been intrigued by “our Trump,” the uncle of Donald J. Trump. Presidential candidate Trump has occasionally cited the influence of his “genius uncle,” John G. Trump, on him – sometimes crudely implying that he shares his uncle’s smarts through ‘blood.’ Whatever the merits or non-merits of those claims, it is worth thinking about the actual influence of this person, whose name he bears as Donald JOHN Trump, on his thinking, ambitions, and self image.
