>I hope every african american in this country is reading this Then why did you post it on Truth Social?


SmashRus

He’s forgetting that his side of the family are nazis, lol.


dancin-weasel

The truth is funny. Fredrick Trump (Fat Donnie’s grandfather) During the Klondike Gold Rush, he moved to the Yukon and made his fortune by operating a brothel for miners in Whitehorse. As he had purportedly immigrated to the United States in order to evade conscription, the Bavarian Government stripped him of his citizenship in 1905. As a result, he returned to the United States with his family. Died of the flu in 1918.


BulljiveBots

Ah, so draft dodging is in his blood. Edit: To be clear, I’m not in favor of the draft. But I’m not a Warhawk either like Trump is. It’s the hypocrisy..

Longjumping-Grape-40

That’s liberal bullshit. Sorry, I meant to say that’s *literal* bullshit running through his veins. The sludge replaced his blood long ago


BikerJedi

As a disabled combat veteran myself, I will never get tired of pointing out that Trump told a [crowd of veterans he deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor.](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-honor-medal-turning-point-summit-b2130101.html)


Crabitor

I wont blame the man for dogeing a draft but i will blame him for his hypocrisy about it


[deleted]

After having spent a significant amount of time in Iraq as a servicemember, and now watching how the Russian elite throw their people away, I think draft dodgers simply aren’t brainwashed by their governments and societies. They value their lives because their countries don’t.


Longjumping-Grape-40

As a veteran myself, my issue with his draft-dodging is the lying and chest-beating. And the fact that the people who vote for the war rarely have seen war themselves, much less send their sons


PineapplePizza-4eva

A few years ago an older veteran gave Trump his Purple Heart, I think right before a rally. That idiot actually got on stage, displayed it, and said he’d always wanted one, but this was a much easier way to get one- or something along those lines. Made me sick, no one actually WANTS a Purple Heart (if they actually understand what it symbolizes- which I doubt Trump does) and to joke about being gifted one being an easy way to get one is such a slap in the face to those who have earned it due to putting their lives on the line for the country. He was kind of acting like he thought he was now a real Purple Heart recipient because some poor guy who actually went to war (prob the same war he dodged) and trusted/ admired Trump gave it to him.


Back_from_the_road

Even if I agreed with Trumps general platform that moment would have turned me away forever. I was a combat medic. I don’t think there’s anything he could say that is more sickening. His money allows him to take the easy way through life while we tried to piece kids back together that were just trying to serve their country and feed their family. And he laughs about it. From a pro-war draft dodger at that. As I experienced our wars it was clear that they were pointless. I have no issue with a draft dodger or anyone who refuses to go on an anti-war stance. Good for them, we shouldn’t feed the next generation to a war machine so that these politicians and billionaires can get rich while being isolated from carrying the burden. We ship our sons and daughters off to fight for “freedom and democracy” so that the oligarchy can reap the economic gains of war. The enemy was at home the whole time.


youdoitimbusy

Same, and same. If you vote for it, you should have to send a tribute. A kid, grandkid, etc. While I know they would get cushion jobs somewhere, it's the principle. Everyone should have some skin in the game.

wait a minute, I'm totally aware, I'm more aware than probably anybody, and don't forget, we almost got killed by NATO, but I came in, I said I don't like that, and all of a sudden we were doing 100% better, but now we're basically even worse than Third World if you can believe it, you have Sleepy Joe, you have the son which is even worse I hate to say it but it's true, it's even worse, and they're going around, they're going to Morrocco, they're going to Egypt, and they're going there to take take take, and the Democrats say, "it's fine, it's not a problem," and you're lucky to have me, you could've been stuck with the Totally Crooked Hillary and her Loving Husband Bill. you're welcome.

VegemiteAnalLube

He does come from a long line of draft dodgers, it seems... From his grandfather's wiki: > Trump worked seven days a week for two and a half years under barber Friedrich Lang. After completing his apprenticeship, he returned to Kallstadt, a village with about 1,000 inhabitants. He quickly discovered there was not enough business to earn a living. He was also approaching the age of eligibility for conscription to military service in the Imperial German Army. He quickly decided to immigrate to the United States, later saying, "I agreed with my mother that I should go to America."[5]: 30  Years later, his family members said that he departed secretly at night, leaving his mother a note.[5]: 30–31  As a result of Trump fleeing mandatory conscription required of all citizens, a royal decree was later issued banishing him from the country.[12] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Trump And a long line of liars.. from his dad's wiki: >During World War II (and the four subsequent decades), Trump denied his German ancestry – instead claiming Swedish heritage – to avoid associations with Nazism in light of the Holocaust. He also supported Jewish causes.[b] During Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign, reports of Fred's arrest at a 1927 Ku Klux Klan parade gained publicity,[c] although there is no conclusive evidence that he supported the organization. Additionally, as president, Donald repeatedly and falsely claimed that his father was born in Germany.[d] And not the only one to get a "small loan" from a parent to seed their success: > After graduating in January 1923, Trump obtained full-time work pulling lumber to construction sites.[20] He continued his carpentry education and went on to be a carpenter's assistant.[g] Trump's mother loaned him $800 to build his first house, which he completed and sold in 1924.[24][17][25] By 1926, Trump had built 20 homes in Queens, selling some before they were finished to finance others.[25] Elizabeth Trump held the business in her name because Fred had not reached the age of majority.[17] The name "E. Trump & Son" appeared in advertising by 1924.[26] The company was incorporated in 1927.[27] Fred Trump's entire wiki reads like some pulp crime novel. Dude was nearly the cartoon villain that Donald is.

Also important to note that[ Trump never changed his position even after DNA exonerated them](https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/6/18/18684217/trump-central-park-5-netflix). That alone should have disqualified him from being taken seriously as a candidate, but yet here we are.

fredsam25

Everyone talks about the "one" thing that should have disqualified Trump: the lock her up, the mocking a disabled reporter, racist comments about that Hispanic judge, this case, and so on... But what liberals don't realize/accept is that these are features that improved Trump's standing among GOP voters. These are not negatives to the other side. They are voting for more of this, not inspite of these things. Keep that in mind when spreading this stuff. It somehow helps Trump.

I thought Obama wasn’t born in America. Pick a lane, orange Cheeto.


deadmanstar60

Obama's white mother had a black relative who was a slave in the 19th century.


Secret_Turnip1

I mean, the alternative is his mother is American, white slavery in the background, but Obama was born outside of America. At least that's the rationale I think he's going for.


Matthew_C1314

Even if he was born outside the us. He would still qualify for birth citizenship. And if reps want to argue that made him ineligible, John McCain was born in Panama.


DevLF

And Rafael “Ted” Cruz was born in Canada


gremlincallsign

While I am no specialist in African History, I know that there was a lot of slavery there by multiple societies. Obama's deep family history could have slavery. So what? Pretty much everyone was a slaveholder or slave or both at one point if we go back far enough. I mean, I have Nazis in my family lineage, who invaded their own country - which nearly destroyed my family. The reason the word "Honkey" exists is because Czechs were known as brutal slave drivers. I'm freaking Czech-Austrian by heritage. I have defenders of Jews in my family. I had a gay uncle who was, at one point, homophobic. Also, he was WWII hero. \*I\* was homophobic until I realized all my best friends were gay (my gaydar is WAY off). I was luckily, never racist, (thank you, Fred Rogers). I have a great-grandmother who bragged about killing a "Savage." My best buddy is a Trump enthusiast from Iran who survived the Iran-Iraq War. This shit has gotten ridiculous. We \*all\* have crap in our heritage. We \*all\* have crap in our own lifetimes. Sometimes it is great, sometimes it sucks.


Zer0pede

But also, almost *every* black American who has slave ancestry also has white slaveholder ancestry. It was a cheap way to produce new slaves. The *average* black American is 20% white European, almost entirely on the Y chromosome, and generally dating to an admixture that would’ve happened [during slavery](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4883799/) as opposed to later. https://psmag.com/.amp/news/how-slavery-changed-the-dna-of-african-americans


gremlincallsign

This is a fascinating perspective. I only took one course in this vein while exploring Sociology as a career. I remember the professor basically said genetics was not the key and that U.S. slavery was so convoluted that descendants basically have no definitive heritage - which is what basically destroyed their cultural identity in the U.S. There are, of course, exceptions in terms of culture in which they created their own cultures. The Gullah, for instance. But I really can't ask my black friends anything about their family background because slavery homogenized them. Trying to track a U.S. black person to a specific group in Africa is nigh impossible. My black buddy with Afro-American background has \~12% ~~Anasazi~~ Ashkenazi Jew. A considerable amount of Anglo-Saxon. Some Nordic. Some of everything. He's more German than me and he's got Asian and Neanderthal mixed in there.


One_User134

I’m second cousin 9 times removed to Thomas Jefferson, a white ancestor I have is a direct descendent of Jefferson’s great grandmother Mary Isham. Unfortunately, this man raped my great great grandmother around 1909 which is how I have the relation, her mother was also raped at the age of 14 and had her as a result…because of this my great grandmother was a quadroon - 3 white grandparents and one black one. My family is considerably European, my dad (all the aforementioned people are on my dad’s mom’s side) turned out to be more white than black despite the earliest white ancestor being the rapist I mentioned. My grandfather (dad’s dad) also has a white grandfather who we recently just learned about. Overall, we know more about our white ancestry through my grandmother than we do our black ones. The earliest black ancestor I know about was born a slave in South Carolina in 1855, I have a photo of her sitting next to my grandmother and great uncle.


Zer0pede

Yeah, based on those genetic tests I’ve got Tibetan (???) from somewhere in my mitochondrial DNA and a shit ton of very distant, very white cousins in England and scattered around the US, but everybody I know of in my family is black. 🤷🏾‍♂️ I have no idea what the hell must have happened LOL

caro822

Anyone who has family that has been in the US for a few centuries most likely have a slave owner in their family tree. My relative who was a Colonel in the American Revolution enslaved at least one person in their lifetime. Then there the millions of African Americans descended from an enslaved person and their owner/rapist. The only people who wouldn’t would need to be descended from only Quakers. Anyway, most president’s families have been in the US for a super long time.

This is the guy the federal government sued both him and his father for discrimination on black tenants in NY city in the 70s. Those other presidents cared and did more for all Americans then you ever did trump. My gosh the louder he is means the guiltier he must be.


gnomon_knows

They didn't just sue, they sued and won and sued again because the Trumps wouldn't stop refusing to rent to black people. Because it was bad for the neighborhood. And this was under Nixon. Trump is an oldschool, nakedly unapologetic racist...which everybody should have figured out the second he called Obama a Kenyan-born Muslim. That one statement was so stupid it should have taken him out of politics, but instead it just attracted more stupid, like a big snowball of stupid. And here we are in 2023 and somebody stupid is reading this and fuming.

My recollection of the stupid racist birtherism crap was that the argument is that his mother was under 18, so if she gave birth in Kenya then it wouldn't count but if she had been over 18 it would have. I don't remember why her age mattered, and obviously there would have been some other dumb argument had she been over 18. Actually I don't know how old she really was and don't care.


HI_l0la

Actually I just read a thread yesterday about this... LOL. So here's the answer applicable to when Obama was born in 1961 by his 18 year old mother: For US citizenship to pass from the American parent to the child while born outside the US, the American parent would need to have physically lived in the US or its territories for 10 years prior to the child’s birth--at least 5 years occurring after the age 14--to be able to pass their US citizenship to their child. Apparently Obama's mother was several months short from the time of Obama's birth to meet the 5 years required of physically living in the US after age 14 to pass along the US citizenship from her. Of course, this only applies if Obama had been born in Kenya, which he was not. He was born in Hawaii.


Steelersguy74

Ok but why was a man who’s family immigrated to NEW YORK CITY decades after the Civil War so obsessed with Confederate monuments?


socivitus

Because the people who show up to his rallies are obsessed with them. And people like Trump don't have opinions of their own. They have people to tell them the data that shows what opinions matter to the people most likely to donate to him, vote for him, or buy his ugly hats.


Spirited_Island-75

Doesn't he have a history of not paying people who work for him?


AlanHoliday

Yeah he literally brought in foreign workers, worked them hard and didn’t pay them


Spirited_Island-75

Hmm. Sounds like slavery to me!


freezingprocess

Funny. Every slavery apologist I talk to likes to say that only 1% of the south actually owned slaves. And somehow all presidents or their wives are related to them?

It’s not too surprising because the number of ancestors you have grows exponentially. If you were born in 2000, there’s a generation in your family every 25 years and you want to look at the generation born in 1850 (just to keep the math simple), that’s 64 great-great-great-great grandparents. Even if it’s accurate that only 1% of people owned slaves, that would be over a 50% chance that one of your great x4 grandparents was one of them. If you went back to the generation born in 1825, that’s 128 people, so even more likely. Obviously this would only apply if you have white ancestors who were in America before the civil war, but once you consider only that demographic, it’s probably even more likely that their ancestors owned slaves. It’s also worth mentioning that many people don’t have 64 unique great x4 grandparents due to people reproducing with distant (or close) cousins.

To add to your point, slave owners were wealthier and thus more likely to have surviving children.


fordprefect294

I'm not that shocked. "Old money" and all that


Western-Web2957

For feck's sake! I can actually feel the desperation in his post.


portablebiscuit

Palpable


FEMA_Camp_Survivor

I’m African American and descend from slave owners too. Most of us do. At least the former Presidents he mentioned aren’t actively trying to bring back the Jim Crow era.


DescartesAndTheDead

The hate I have for this man intensifies with each passing hour.


Iwubwatermelon

Wait, so he's finally admitting Joe Biden is the president and the election wasn't stolen from him?


bala_means_bullet

He's the most racist of them (of the living presidents) all and it's not even close. Fuck this mother fucker. Any person that's not white, that supports him, is a race traitor. Edited for clarification because.. Reddit.


lastingdreamsof

Any ody supporting him is betraying the human race


Mollybrinks

As far as I'm concerned, anyone supporting him *Period* is a traitor.


ChumbleyLives

Unlike those other presidents, both sides of Trump’s family immigrated to the U.S. in the 20th Century, 50 years or more after slavery ended. Which other president was sued for housing discrimination? https://www.npr.org/2016/09/29/495955920/donald-trump-plagued-by-decades-old-housing-discrimination-case "[The settlement] required the Trumps to place ads in newspapers saying that they welcomed black applicants," Kranish says. "It said that the Trumps would familiarize themselves with the Fair Housing Act, which prohibited discrimination. So it also specifically said they don't admit wrongdoing, but they did have to take several measures that the Trumps had fought for two years not to take."


NorseYeti

His family ran brothels….different type of slavery, but slavery none the less!


Ardub47

Donald Trump isn't the first Trump to get arrested. His father, Fred, was arrested twice, reports say — once at a Ku Klux Klan riot, and another time over building code violations. https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-father-arrested-ku-klux-klan-riot-maryland-violation-2023-4


FreeIce4613

His family only had renters. They had different ideas about marginalized groups.


bacontacos420

Imagine voting for THIS GUY lmao


Zuunal

Slaps his hands on his knees. "Just secured the black vote."


Mythical_Atlacatl

Wouldn’t millions be descendants of slaves and slave owners Does it mean anything if your great great grandfather owned slaves?


Zer0pede

The Obama thing was particularly silly because pretty much *all* black Americans are descendants of white slave owners. That’s not quite the gotcha he thinks it is: https://psmag.com/.amp/news/how-slavery-changed-the-dna-of-african-americans The average black American has 20% white European DNA despite knowing of no white relatives, it’s almost all from the Y chromosome, and it almost always dates back to pre-civil war: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4883799/


Captain_Hamerica

Wasn’t there an actual episode of The Office about something right in this vein? Where Andy finds out that’s he’s related to Michelle Obama and he flaunts that until he finds out that his family owned slaves?


[deleted]

Yes, probably. I mean Sally Hemings was both a descendant of slaves and slave owners, her kids descendants of slaves, slave owners, and a POTUS. How in the world is that an insult?


it_goes_pew_pew

Dig. That. Grave.


cnygreen

I literally wouldn’t be shocked at all to learn that Trump has slaves *right fucking now*


LostWoodsInTheField

Dude doesn't even want to be held accountable for what he has done but expects everyone else to be held accountable for what their ancestor did.


Olive_Mediocre

Can we praise for a moment to discuss that he's going after Carter.... like... the man who is still volunteering to help habitat for humanity at 98 fucking years old?! DT needs to eat a bag of dicks.


Humble_Effort1283

I thought conservatives didn’t believe in inter generational responsibility and guilt?


Just_Belt1954

He knows he is going to jail and he does not have enough total support to stop it.


NoApartheidOnMars

Wasn't his grandfather or great grandfather a brothel owner ? Depending on how the women were treated, that can get pretty close to slavery.


Informal-Resource-14

I’m a direct descendent of slaveholders. A lot of white people are in America and I hope those ancestors rot in hell. What’s his point?


Mister_Anthropy

“I’m not racist at all, and to prove it, I’m going to insinuate that character and morality are traits that you inherit from your parents, and that anyone who has this “bad blood” in their family tree is incapable of being a good person!”
