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.
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.
