Cozy and homely Donald Trump in pictures from the accidentally surfaced family archive
The Trump family's commemorative collection, which includes about a thousand photos of the US president-elect, his family and friends, which Donald Ivan's first wife seems to have gotten rid of, ended up in the hands of a collector from South Florida about two years ago. All this stuff was lying quietly in the archives until the online version of the Daily Mail newspaper shared it.
Among the materials that were neatly folded into the suitcase are personal handwritten notes, the wedding album of Donald and Ivana, the album of their eldest son Donald Trump Jr., dated December 31, 1977 (his birthday), a postcard drawn by daughter Ivanka for parents, Ivana's model shootings and much more. All this paints a warm, homely and very family image of the future occupant of the Oval Office. It is unlikely that you have seen such a Donald Trump.

Family photos from this collection mainly cover the period of the 1970s and 1990s, even before Donald Trump married Marla Maples, and then his current wife Melania. There are also amateur photos, polaroid photos, and shots from professional social photographers Mary Hilliard and Ron Galella.
A woman who shared the pictures on condition of anonymity said she came across a suitcase with photos of Trump in a charity thrift store, which is now closed. She believes that Ivana or one of her assistants brought the collection to the store when Trump's ex-wife moved into a condominium. The collector says that she was amazed when she found these photos and materials. In addition to the pictures, there were newspaper clippings about the family and its projects, fragments of gossip columns and even household items, including bed linen.
It is clear that Donald Trump simply adores his children. Here he is with his firstborn, Donald Trump Jr.
"I brought these materials home, looked through them and haven't touched them since, until Donald announced that he was running for president. As a woman and a big fan of Donald Trump's campaign, in moments of great negativity and division, which are typical not only for the presidential race, but also for the world as a whole, I knew that this archive would be a significant way to show the tender, humane side of the candidate, captured through the prism of his family life," says the owner of the collection.
