... While the consensus is he got jealous after seeing photos of Melon and/or Ivanka looking at him all thirsty, there’s an argument to be made Trudeau might’ve made things worse by taunting him with an old photo reminding the world the dumb motherfucker only owes his wealth to his grandfather’s days of running a whorehouse in the lower Arctic.
Friedrich Drumpf, aka Frederick Trump, left his small village in what is now southwest Germany to try his fortune in America at age 16. The young barber eventually made it to the Yukon after gold was discovered, but was smart enough to see where the real money was to be made amid rampant gold fever. An estimated 100,000 prospectors set out north for the Klondike, with only a third of them actually making it, and only four percent hit paydirt. Drumpf saw better prospects in catering to their needs by opening the Arctic Restaurant in a since-abandoned town named Bennett, according to a deep dive by Bloomberg in 2016.
It was open around the clock with “private boxes for ladies and parties,” according to an advertisement in the Dec. 9, 1899 edition of the Bennett Sun newspaper. The boxes typically included a bed and scale for weighing gold dust used to pay for “services,” according to a three-generational biography by Gwenda Blair, who traced the origins of the Trump family’s wealth. Of course, in the rough-and-tumble frontier towns of that era, the Arctic’s business model built on food, booze and sex was common.

“I would advise respectable women travelling alone, or with an escort, to be careful in their selection of hotels at Bennett,” according to a letter penned by “The Pirate” in the Yukon Sun on April 17, 1900. For single men, the Arctic offered excellent accommodations but women should avoid it “as they are liable to hear that which would be repugnant to their feelings and uttered, too, by the depraved of their own sex.”
