Trump is descended from Palatinians. Now he wants to register them. - Emily Litella

has = had

[DUMBGRUNT]

Trump was born in Kallstadt, now in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, in 1869.

Dead or maybe he ate that famous Russian yogurt?

[Daffynition]

Well, they can be right 66% of the time...and that’s unusual. :)

Emily, that’s Palestinians. Trump wants to register Palestinians.

I thought Trump was Jewish?

You’re joking right?

Oh . . . . . . never mind!

Other than destroying a country, for the life of me I can't figure out what is motivating these people to want and even demand millions more people be jammed in? This is extremely odd.

[Chode]

let me see it in writing, by many accounts the name was Drumpf at the time...

[montag813]

Considering how Germany behaved since that decree, I would say it looks pretty GOOD for Trump

[ifinnegan]

The article had scans of the document.

They can find out little things about Trump's grandfather;
now perhaps they can find Obama's birth certificate and
college records.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

I was. I'm not too sure about him.

Yeah, I liked it, but he obviously didn't get it. He wouldn't know a joke if it came up and bit him on his funny bone.

Now he's embarrassed, trying to save face.

Let's see if the “historian” can find anything about Clinton's or Rodham’s ancestors. I'll bet that Bubba’s father was a two bit grifter from Arkansas. Hilliary's ancestors probably lied about where and why they escaped to these shores.
Forget Obambi, his records were sealed.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

It took the King of Bavaria thirty years to order Fredrich Drumpf (who by the way emigrated first to Canada and then to the United States thirty (30!) years to realize he was gone and to then issue the decree. So much for the much vaunted German efficiency.

[RegulatorCountry]

Such sparkling repartee, such rapier wit. Keep telling yourself that, snowflake. Maybe in some alternate universe it’ll come true.

[dfwgator]

Germans forced my Polish ancestors to flee to the US, during the Kulturkampf.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Sheesh!

Most of our ancestors got thrown out of where ever country they came from or skipped one step ahead of the law.

Does he have the idea that this is disqualifying in any manner?

Oh. .....never mind.
