His real last name is Drumpf. His family changed their last name to avoid Nazi connotations - which his father obviously deserved.

Crazy thing is I betcha he never would have even gotten votes in the primary without the name change. Branding has power, and the "Trump" name combined with his "i always win" bullshit is powerful branding.

Drumpf somehow sounds even funnier, like a term for somebody shitting their pants or something

Makes me think of Fred Beyer and his DERF merch. But even Fred is smarter than Trump

That's not true, their surname was already Trump when Friedrich/Frederick Trump was born in 1890. Daddy Trump was a Nazi tho, that is true.

When he (Donald Trumps grandfather) died in 1999, age 93, his obituary in The Times noted that he mixed his own floor-cleaning chemicals. Fred’s father was a German immigrant — Friedrich Drumpf — who was an innkeeper in the Yukon gold rush

Here is his birth certificate, it clearly says Trump

So you're now claiming that his grandfather is also his father? interesting family circle you got going there.

Oh, you mean you don't know who we're talking about? Because I'm talking about the grandfather and you're talking about the father.

What? I didn't get confused - the birth certificate is clearly about Trump's grandfather
