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.
She was a Scottish immigrant and her son is first-generation Scottish-American on her side.
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.

Two of Trumps wives are immigrants and his kids are anchor babies.

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”.

I am from a non-US context, the first generation is the first that came to the country here.
Well yeah, I didn’t mean “all non-US context of immigrants”, but the article especially mentions the US definition being so.
But that doesn’t mean others can’t also utilise that definition.
Honestly, I’m not sure who exactly does use the other one, but I know it’s used enough to be acceptable in certain contexts somewhere
