Good luck finding out. There is a lot of rubbish written about him on the internet. If you want be sure about anything you may have to follow references back to original documents.

"In a box purported to contain a part of Tesla's "death ray," Trump found a 45 year-old multidecade resistance box"

Aside: "He developed a hatred of jewellery and round objects" yet despite that they put his ashes in an unusual spherical casket :-)
