3. He's been on a roll recently - plenty of low hanging fruit

Trump is the gift that keeps on giving, it's hard to believe that he's leading the GOPer polls.

4. Grandson of Friedrich Drumpf.

They changed their name around World War I, a time of great national hatred for German-Americans.

5. Wiki says 1892--but his ancestors seem way more interesting than the walking fistula they spawned

9. Thank you for the kind correction!

Seems Grampa applied a legal system to separate gold from the prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush, a bawdy house, the original Trump Tower.

6. I'd never heard that.... you'd think he'd have a bit of empathy

But lo and behold, this is 'the donald' we're talking about and he's never learned that word.

(My family moved out of North Carolina and changed it's name to avoid being drafted into the confederate army.... so I guess the donald and I have something in common.)

11. My wife's family emigrated from Germany to settle in South Texas...

They saw the Kaiser's first order of business would be war, a mix of power and revenge. So, three cousins came to America. They were sore surprised to find themselves separated by the Civil War.

They spoke German in New Braunfels, along with most everyone else in town. Other German-Americans though, spoke only English and Anglicized their names.

I thought Trump family did that around World War I. The great DUer MisterP found the Donalt's family did it before the turn of the last century. Even before the Great War, many Americans didn't like the Other in the form of accents and heritage.

7. America has always been white

These clowns are the ones brainwashing the public that somehow they've lost that.

8. Well, it's been white since Europeans invaded a few hundred years ago
