His mother, was born and grew up with 9 siblings, in poverty, in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland. She came to this country and was a maid for rich folks.
His grandfather dodged his military service in Bavaria by emigrating at the age of 16 from Hallstadt.
So, why does he think he's more American than everyone else?

Drumpf is an all-American boy with painful bone spurs, so cut him some slack already.
On edit: it appears my prior statement regarding his mother coming here illegally may not be accurate.
And his current wife worked here illegally.

(2,959 posts)It also helps if western and Americian meddling have been keeping those countries in shit for a long time.
European countries are White, therefore not "shithole" countries. I'm not disputing your other facts, just the "shithole" appellation.
gad, you'd think these facts were obvious.
You are correct, sir!
