It truly is the American Dream on steroids!

In three generations a widow with three young children working to keep them going to a multibillionaire.

Frederick changed the name from Trumpf to Trump and told people they were Swedish because on the anti German attitude (About time of WWI beginning). He died of Spanish Flue

Oh my....a real, "HORATIO ALGER" tale and yes, the fulfillment of "THE AMERICAN DREAM" !

OT....during WW I, there was a full throated HATE thing going against ALL of the nations who were fighting on the side of Germany, with Americans boycotting shops and products of those American born citizens who had German, Hungarian, etc. sounding names. "DANISH PASTRY" is NOT "Danish" at all ! It is a Hungarian pastry, but the name was changed, so that people would still buy them. They're called delkeral.
