Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsLast night I had a dream I sat in on a therapy session for Trump.
In it, Trump angrily lashed out against Jared (!) and also accused Jared's mother of plotting against him.
Which is kind of weird because we never hear much about Jared's mother. We hear about his father, a convicted felon, but nothing about his mother.
Much like you don't hear a whole lot about Trump's mother.

In October 1885, Trumps grandfather, Friedrich Trump, arrived in Manhattan as a gangly 16-year-old boy fleeing poverty and military service in Germany to live with his sister Katherine, according to Gwenda Blairs book The Trumps: Three Generations of Builders and a Presidential Candidate.
Friedrich Trump was not going to be alone, Blair writes. His oldest sister had immigrated to New York a year earlier, at 23. There she joined her fiancé, a shipping clerk from Kallstadt He had come to America after two older cousins set up a wine business in New York City. Another Trump sister, Louise, later followed her siblings from Germany to the US.
Friedrich, who worked as a barber, became a US citizen in 1892. A decade later, he briefly returned to Germany, married Elizabeth Christ, and then brought her back to the US to live with him. Their son, Fred, married Mary Macleod, who gave birth to Donald in 1946.
Macleod had immigrated to New York in 1930 from Scotland. Unskilled and unemployed, she lived with her married sister in Astoria, Queens, according to Blairs book. Ngai noted that under Trumps plan to ban visas for residents siblings, if his mother were coming to the US today, shed be excluded.

... but I would think that your dreams don't have much to do with the relationship between Trump and his mother or Jared and his mother.
On the other hand, who knows?
