Elizabeth Christ Trump (German pronunciation: [eˈliːzabɛt kʁɪst]; October 10, 1880 – June 6, 1966) was a German American businesswoman. She married Frederick Trump in 1902, and he died in 1918. After his death, Trump co-founded the real estate development company E. Trump & Son with their son, Fred, to manage and increase their real estate holdings.
