Trump is the Americanized, Ellis-Island version of the family name, which is Drumpf.

Libs call him that because of Jon Stewart’s gang of @$$holes who think it somehow denigrates him to use his family name.

The Drumpf family is a big deal throughout the more recent (400 years) Bavarian history.

Trump is a political new-comer, but comes from a lineage of leaders and power brokers. Which I’m fine with because it’s the “Politicians” who are the problem. Elites, who become elite based on merit and respect are what I want running my country.

You know, if I can’t :)

“Trump is the Americanized, Ellis-Island version of the family name, which is Drumpf.”

Many surnames have been changed. Often it was to make the names seem more American, which usually meant more “English-like.”

But standardized spelling in various languages, is fairly recent.

Within my immediate family, my own surname changed twice upon reaching America, and my mother’s maiden name changed between brothers, fathers etc.

Thanks for the explanation.maybe we should start referring to all visible Lefties by their real names.......Jon Stewart as ‘Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz’, etc.
