Donald Trump is an incredibly wealthy man, and he acts like his earnings are a result of hard personal labor alongside smart investments; however, this campaign narrative about his money couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, the source of his riches happens to be through a seedy inheritance. Even worse, Donald’s immigrant family received their ill-gotten gains through a variety of shameful pursuits. In this overview of the damning evidence, you will learn all about the nefarious activities of Trump’s grandfather, which ultimately made the GOP front-runner who he is today and even funded his campaign.

Trump’s Immigration Stance vs. His Immigrant Grandfather

“The Donald,” as he is affectionately called by supporters, is a grandson of Frederick Trump, who first came to America from Germany at age 16 during 1885. At this time, Frederick erased his origins and even his native name, which was Friedrich before his arrival. This back-story stands in stark contrast to the messages of Frederick’s own eventual heir and his campaign against immigration. If The Donald’s proposed policies were in place back then, his own grandfather would have been kicked out (before being made to build a wall between America and Germany presumably). Luckily for the Trump family, our leadership was more reasonable than they were; otherwise, the clan never would have made it big in the United States. Except, there’s one thing wrong with that statement too: They didn’t make it big here at all!

Prostitution, Booze and Gambling

All of Frederick’s activities were questionable, and some of them were downright illegal. During his teenage years, he financed space for a restaurant dubbed “The Poodle Dog.” This establishment doubled as an escort service that sold private time with the servers and entertainers. He eventually moved this business to a mining town called Monte Cristo, so he could to “mine the miners,” as he put it. The elder Trump backed out once the boom turned into a bust, and he kept somewhat sizable earnings from the venture.

The Worst Offense: Profiting From Stolen Land

While those undertakings are already in poor taste, it is nothing compared to the fact that Frederick had no rights to the land in Monte Cristo. By placing a legal claim full of lies with the government, he secured some territory that was supposed to be used for collecting minerals; instead, he built his bordello and never fulfilled his end of the contract. This wasn’t a one-time offense either. Afterwards, he duped the Yukon for a similar profit. Without any ownership rights, Trump Sr. built another eatery-themed whorehouse entitled “The Arctic Restaurant” in 1900. After a while, the Mounties, AKA the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, started moving in on his White Horse operation. In response, Frederick took his new Canadian wealth and fled back to Germany.

No Military Service Equals No Citizenship

Donald has many things in common with Grandpa Frederick, but his lack of military involvement is perhaps the most glaring similarity. You see, Frederick didn’t get to stay in his homeland for very long, because a stint in the country’s armed services is required for all men. Since he was AWOL the entire time between ages 18 and 35, his whole family was deposed from the country. Frederick and his pregnant wife were immediately placed on a boat back to America. Ironically, this is the act that made Donald a citizen, and therefore, a candidate. Here’s the moral of the tale: If America had the same policies as Germany, he himself would be deported today. Instead, he gets to run for president!
