Edit..This is really a fine gift that TSF most likely doesn’t appreciate…no gold frame, no monetary value except for the family it should be priceless. He’s so embarrassing

I have a photocopy of one of my g-grandfather’s naturalization document from the late 1890s- did old Fred ever get his? If not, then by Donnie’s arguments his son Fred Jr wasn’t a citizen (I don’t think women such as Donnie’s grandmother counted as citizens before 1920) and thus neither is he. Per his reasoning, that is - I support the 14th amendment

It is not retroactive. It only applies to children born on or after February 19, 2025. Both Trump and his father were born well before that.

I read many years before dumpy ran for pres, that his grandfather was one of the architects of the notsee movement. Since dump’s rise to power, I have not been able to find that again.

This was a much bigger slap in Trumps face than reminding him of his families immigrant roots. Fred Trump fled Germany to avoid military service and I believe faced criminal charges if he ever returned.

but the German immigration officials found out that he left to avoid joining the military and they wouldn't let him come back?

It took about 4 years to notice who he was, investigate, and go through the legal proceedings. He'd had dual citizenship, but he was eventually stripped of his German citizenship and ordered to leave the country.
