Trump is actually second-gen on his mother's side and third-gen on his father's side. Not that it really changes the message, but there's no reason to get the facts wrong in this.
Two of Trumps wives are immigrants and his kids are anchor babies.
I think the person above you is using the US Census Bureau definition of generations, which is that the first gen is the immigrant themselves, second gen their children. That's how I've always understood it.
Yeah, that's the only definition I ever knew.
Weirdly there are two. Both are correct. Regional difference.
For the non-US context, one might as well add "born in the country" after the "first generation".
