As Donald Trump continues to dominate the news, many of his supporters aren’t aware of something very interesting about the Presidential candidate. His oldest sister is a senior judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit.

Maryanne Trump Barry was nominated as a Federal District Judge by President Reagan in 1983. Bill Clinton then appointed her to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit in 1999.
Trump called his sister for advice after Megyn Kelly painted him as misogynist at the first Republican primary presidential debate. He said his sister was supportive. The New York Times reports that Trump said he and his sister hold similar views and she has given him advice on how to behave during his campaign.
“She called me to say she’s very proud,” Mr. Trump said. “She said, ‘Just be yourself.’ Of course, I don’t know if that’s good advice, but she said, ‘Just be yourself and you do well, really well.’ ”
He added that Ms. Barry had a view of gender equality not unlike his own. “My sister has a very unique view on this, and — not so unique,” he said. “She feels that women are very smart and can be very tough and can be at least equal to men, and that women can fight very hard.”
“I have a sister who just doesn’t want to talk to reporters. Can you believe it?” Mr. Trump said, explaining that he had called his sister and suggested that she speak with an inquiring reporter. “I said: ‘Maybe they mixed us at birth. Maybe one of us got mixed up a little bit. Who knows.’ ”

Barry is known as a strong and well respected judge but she says that she learned at an early age that she couldn’t compete with her younger brother.
Are you surprised to learn that Trump’s sister was appointed to the bench by Ronald Reagan? Please comment below.

A Republican, Barry was nominated to be a judge on the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit by President Bill Clinton on June 17, 1999, to replace H. Lee Sarokin, who had retired in 1996. President Clinton in 1998 had nominated Robert Raymar to the seat, but that nomination was never given a hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Raymar’s nomination expired at the end of that year. Clinton chose not to renominate Raymar to the Third Circuit seat during the next congressional term, and elected instead to nominate Barry.
Barry was unanimously confirmed by the United States Senate on September 13, 1999, and received her commission on September 22, 1999.

Correction – maybe you’re dyslexic. Barry was nominated by President Ronald Reagan[8] on September 14, 1983, to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey vacated by Henry Curtis Meanor. She was confirmed by the United States Senate on October 6, 1983, and received her commission the next day.

Correction, she was “nominated” to the bench by President Bill Clinton on June 17, 1999 and confirmed on September 13, 1999.

False! Ronald Reagan DID NOT appoint her to the bench!

wow imagine that! trump’s sister was handed judicial positions by both a democrat and a republican president! it’s almost like the trump family are political insiders!
I’m surprised. Never knew he had a sister. She sounds delightful–and smart! Like her kid brother!
The more we know…the more we know! Surprise family ties…( a lady lawyer & judge) and common cause. If Trump is somehow tied to Soros…Megyn, Bill, Brett…any questions?
NOT!!!
Donald Trump should put her on the U.S. Supreme Court to straighten out that corrupt organization.
A great Lady
Jalina- I too believe that Cruz is a real conservative. Perhaps he is the most conservative in the pack of contenders. I find it very interesting that Trump has not attacked Ted Cruz. Maybe Trump knows he needs an articulate, intelligent, untarnished, wise, conservative running mate.
Jalina, Mr Obama is also involved with George Soros.
So his sister is conservative and appointed by Reagan, and Trump is the spoiled younger brother who was liberal for over 60+yrs. I don’t trust him. He is in bed with George Soros and I think they are playing us. I will continue to back Ted Cruz the real conservative. No Trump in my coffee.
I think I might be his sister too!!! lol hoorah for the good judge and Donald.
TOTALLY IMPRESSIVE and I support TRUMP for PRESIDENT
<3 (Y) :)
I AM NOT SHOCKED, BUT THOROUGHLY, IMPRESSED! TRUMP HAS MORE CLOUT THAN ANY OF US. MONEY, COURAGE & NOW, INFLUENCE!

I AM HAPPY TO KNOW JUDGE BARRY AND THRILLED HER BROTHER HAS TAKEN THIS ENORMOUSE UNDERTAKING…WE LOVE DONALD TRUMP 2016 and LOVE HIS WONDERFUL FAMILY!! HE WILL BE AND AWESOME PRESIDENT OF THE USA!!
Nothing about the Don surprises me. If he keeps listening to BIG SIS he Will probably be President. I certainly can think of worse things. I think e is turning into a power that POLITICS DIDNT EXPECT.
It shows that brains really do run in families !!! Good for her !!!
I was a bit concerned by the tease leading into this brief article. I needn’t have been. Very impressive. Honestly at first I was a little put off by his manner, and then I look at his kids, especially Ivanka, and I see, here’s a man of substance and values. Learn a lot taking a look at spouses and children of public figures seeking our support and votes. Talk is cheap.
This only confirms the truth about “why” it is true that Mr. Trump really does respect and love women. I wish his sister was more involved in his campaign, but I certainly respect her privacy. I am sure that when he becomes the Republican nominee (and he will), she will be more vocal and visible….
Trump is a liberal plant to thwart a true conservative nominee. IF Trump becomes the nominee he will fold and give his friend Hillary the presidency. A vote for Trump IS a vote for Hillary! IF Trump’s goal was to defeat Hillary then WHY didn’t he run as a democrat? Trump is a liar and fraud. Don’t be fooled by this liberal impostor. Enjoy a Hillary presidency if Trump becomes the nominee.
You are not very bright.
Donald Trump is a side distraction He has no intention of being President!!

Not a bit surprised. I too, had an intelligent, accomplished big sister, who died in 2012-that is an important relationship- you see he discusses important issues with her.
Class will always out! The liberals need to read this and listen up for once!
This is a nice piece of info. Trump 2016
She will help him stay on the legal side, glad he has the sister to help him. Awesome he has what really needs fixed in this country on his agenda.
Brothers and sisters have a special bond. Having love, respect and pride in your siblings is a plus in my book!
Now we know one of his advisers, fair enough, since our country is facing a major crisis, he is trying to make it better by exposing and criticizing, and allowing the people to make the decision, yeah Trump!
I am not surprised at all. They are obviously intelligent thinking people to be where they are.
Great! This is wonderful news!
