Back in 1905, Donald Trump’s grandfather was ordered out of Bavaria on the pretext of not performing military service and failing to inform them of his earlier emigration.
Effectually Royal tyranny spitefully deprived themselves of future Trumps forever. And ensured America would be made great again.
[Quote=The Guardian]
In an effort to overturn the royal decree dated 27 February 1905, Trump wrote an obsequious letter appealing to Prince Regent Luitpold, addressing him as “the much-loved, noble, wise and righteous sovereign and sublime ruler”.

Which, coincidentally, is how I hear Mr. Donald J. Trump prefers to be addressed by his loyal followers.
This story appears to put paid to Oliver’s silliness about his grandfather changing his name for immigration purposes. It sounds like “Drumpf” and “Trump” we’re both common variants in that region of Bavaria.
If family stories are to be believed, MY grandfather got caught canoodling with the boss’ daughter and got the hell out of the old country one step ahead of a shotgun wedding, so I tend not to hold the actions of someone’s grandfather against them.
