⁣Growing up as a Presbyterian, Trump was largely influenced by his 33° Scottish Rite Freemason Pastor. In Trump's 2015 Family Summit interview, Trump spoke highly of Norman Vincent Peale. In the interview, Donald mentioned Norman Vincent Peale's bestselling novel 'The Power of Positive Thinking.' Trump would spend much of his reading time throughout his teenage years and young adulthood reading Peale's bestseller book.

More Occult background information about Norman Vincent Peale.
A Mason for sixty-seven years, he served rather proudly as both a Grand Chaplain and Grand Prelate in his ninety-five-year lifespan. While serving at Kings Highway Church, Reverend Mr. Peale became a Mason in Midwood Lodge No. 1062 in Brooklyn. In following this path, family tradition played a role as father and grandfather, Clifford and Samuel Peale, had Masonic histories dating back to 1869. Norman was initiated an Entered Apprentice on January 6, 1926; passed a Fellowcraft on January 20; and raised a Master Mason on March 3, 1926. Peale's membership in Midwood Lodge would span sixty-seven years. Thanks to a pair of mergers, Midwood consolidated with Lexington Lodge No. 310 in 1970 and Brooklyn Lodge No. 288 in 1988, ultimately becoming Midwood No. 288 at the time of his passing.
