13 month old baby [2/3]
in others' words:
Until the birth of her son, [T] and Kushner kept the sex of their baby a secret, due to [T]'s superstitions.

Horowitz started working for
[DJT] in 1996 . . . [DJT] was very open with Horowitz. Horowitz knew, for
example, that [DJT] kept his office the way it had been for years -- cluttered
with piles of papers and photographs and magazine covers of himself on the
walls -- because he was superstitious and didn't think he should
move anything.
from The Liar's Ball:
The Extraordinary Saga of How One Building Broke the World's Toughest Tycoons,
by Vicky Ward (John Wiley & Sons, 2014), pg. 14

modest Hilton ballroom, a venue chosen partially due to [DJT]’s superstitions of
“jinxing” things . . .

[DJT] Plans Relatively Low-Key
Election Night Party Because He’s ‘Superstitious’
. . .
While huge rallies have been a
hallmark of [DJT]’s campaign, a source familiar with [DJT]’s plans said the
party in the Hilton ballroom will be relatively small. The person explained
that [DJT] is “superstitious” and doesn’t want to jinx things.

But for all his swagger, [DJT] had an awareness of unseen, dealbreaking contingencies that held his
triumphalism in check. He was compulsively superstitious; twice on
other plane trips I had seen him toss a few granules of salt over his left
shoulder after eating. And here he was, on the day before he would effectively
clinch his nomination, calling a single obscure delegate in a state he had
already won in a landslide -- an implicit nod to the forces aligned
against him before resuming the affect of indomitability.
