MEET THE TRUMPETY TRUMPS

I have just done some brief research on who Donald Trump is and the origins of his fortune.

His grandfather Friedrich, a German immigrant, arrived in New York in 1885, and over the next 15 years or so made a small fortune from brothels. Friedrich returned to Germany at the start of the 20th Century but he was found guilty of draft-dodging and expelled from Germany, so he returned to the USA, where he died.

Friedrich's son Fred, Donald's dad, made his fortune first by misrepresenting his status and acquiring a mortgage company, then second off the back of WW2 by exploiting loopholes to build lots of 1 bedroom properties for military personnel returning from the war instead of many of the much anticipated and needed family homes that would be required. Fred was later accused of racism by renting to whites only and discriminating against non-whites, and had earlier somehow found himself arrested during a fracas between police and the KKK.

Donald worked for and then with his father Fred, who 'gave' Manhattan to Donald. Donald, like his grandpa Friedrich, was accused of draft-dodging during the Vietnam war, but he also never volunteered.

So not exactly a pristine fortune, but nothing like how the Rothschilds and Rockefellers made their fortunes.

But would you call this making America great? Brothels, racism, lying, exploiting loopholes to exploit war veterans?

And to think that Trump's grandpa was a German immigrant who landed in New York just after the native Americans had all but been annihilated?

I wouldn't.

But if he is prepared to expose 9/11 as an inside job...
