The newly elected 45th President of the United States - Donald John Trump (born June 14, 1946) - is a descendant of the founder of Russian statehood - Rurik Varyazhsky (died 879) along several female lines. There is nothing sensational in this fact, since many US presidents are related to European royal and aristocratic families, and they, in turn, are related to Rurikovich through female marriages.
Trump and Rurik's family ties are based on several female lines. This is not a direct relationship in male or female lines, but a mixed relationship. Nevertheless, Rurik is indeed the 36th generation ancestor of Trump, as evidenced by the following genealogical diagram:

As can be seen from the diagram, Trump's relationship with Rurik comes from the daughter of Yaroslav the Wise - Anna Yaroslavna (c. 1032/1036 - 1075/1089), who in 1051 was married to the French king Henry I (1008 - 1060), becoming a mother the future king of France - Philip I (1052 - 1108). Through the offspring of Philip I, a kinship is traced between the Rurik dynasty and the Capetian dynasty, leading along the genealogical chain to the 45th President of the United States - Donald Trump.
The genealogy of American presidents has been studied very well. There are numerous resources on the Internet that contain information on the genealogy of famous people. For example, the most authoritative English language site is www.geni.com. It can be used to trace family ties between different celebrities - for example, between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton.
By the way, all American presidents, with the exception of the 8th President Martin Van Buuren (1782 - 1862), are relatives - descendants of the English king John Lackland (1167 - 1216). For example, the 44th President of the United States Barack Hussein Obama (born 1961-04-08) through his mother Stanley Ann Obama (nee Dunham) (1942 - 1995) is also a descendant of Rurik Varyazhsky in the female line in the 35th generation.

Two more lines of kinship from Rurik to Trump can be traced back to the Stuart dynasty: through the marriage of Euphrosyne Mstislavna (1130 - 1186/1193), daughter of the Grand Duke of Kiev Mstislav Vladimirovich (1076 - 1132), with the Hungarian king Geza II (1130 - 1162) in 1146 year. Their son, the Hungarian king Bela III (c. 1148 - 1196), later became related to the Stuarts, and through relationship with the Stuarts, Trump would be brought to Rurik by a descendant in the 37th generation.

Another line of relationship between Trump and Rurik comes from Izyaslav Yaroslavich (1025 - 1087), whose granddaughter Predslava Svyatopolkovna in 1104 married the Hungarian prince and king of Croatia Almos (1075 - 1127). Their son, the future king of Hungary, Bela II (1108 - 1141), would later become related to the Stuarts, through relationship with whom Trump would be a descendant of Rurik in the 38th generation.

After tracing the three female lines of kinship between the 45th President of the United States Donald Trump and Rurik Varyazhsky, it was revealed that Trump, through his mother Mary Ann Trump (nee Macleod) (1912 - 2000), is brought to Rurik by a descendant immediately in the 36th, 37th and 38th knees.
