In reality his brothel owning grandfather was banished from Germany.

Roland Paul, a historian from Rhineland-Palatinate who found the document in local archives, told the tabloid Bild: Friedrich Trump emigrated from Germany to the USA in 1885. However, he failed to de-register from his homeland and had not carried out his military service, which is why the authorities rejected his attempt at repatriation.
The decree orders the American citizen and pensioner Friedrich Trump to leave the area at the very latest on 1 May ... or else expect to be deported. Bild called the archive find an unspectacular piece of paper, that had nevertheless changed world history.

(97,271 posts)Been tuning out his recent visit overseas (as much as possible) and didn't know he said it again.
He tries so hard to forge a connection to Germany and Scotland and they don't want it. They know his ancestry and they are embarrassed by it.
