Frederick Trump - The Immigrant Grandfather of Donald Trump Documentary
People Profiles ^ | 20/11/25

.....

Frederick Trump was a poor German barber’s son who crossed the Atlantic as a teenager and died a wealthy American businessman. In between, he chased the Gold Rush, ran hotels and brothels on the frontier, and laid the financial foundations for one of the most controversial political dynasties in modern history. This is the story of the immigrant who started the Trump dynasty.

In this full-length biographical documentary, we follow Frederick Trump’s journey from Kallstadt in the Kingdom of Bavaria to the raw, lawless world of the American West and the Klondike Gold Rush. Long before Donald Trump entered politics or became a global celebrity, his grandfather was building the family fortune in an America of opportunity, corruption and rapid change.

The Beer Hall Putch took place in Bavaria, and Hitler was gaining members and supporters there by harping on their secessionist aspirations, while keeping his pan-German agenda to himself and his close associates.

But seriously, Frederich Von Trumpf left Bavaria in the mid-19th Century, long before there was even such a thing as fascism, although he might well have been a fervent egotistical jerk.

The Indians were immigrants, too, a few millenia ago.
