It was there in 1892 that Drumpf became Frederick Trump, a naturalized U.S. citizen. ....

Trump's mother was a Scottish immigrant, born on the Isle of Lewis, off the west coast of Scotland.[21] Trump's paternal grandparents were German immigrants;[22] .... In his 1987 book, The Art of the Deal, Donald Trump incorrectly said that Frederick Trump was of Swedish origin, an assertion previously made by Fred Trump for many years. ....

(70,712 posts)5. Thing is, before Wiki was edited it said the Swedish claim was because of the discrimination
(Fredrich? or son Fred?) felt ashamed and fearful of having experienced. The immigrant experience was profound in all aspects in their family, yet here is their current a-hole blasting immigrants. Not to mention the other two of Cuban heritage.
