Friedrich Trumpf or Drumpf (Anglicized to Frederick Trump) of Kallstadt, Germany, immigrated to New York in 1885, at the age of 16.
He worked as barber before moving to Seattle where he purchased a restaurant in Washington street which was described as «a hotbed of sex, booze, and money, was the indisputable center of the action in Seattle», he filed a mining claim strictly for the purpose of building a boarding house, but on its facade, a sign announced "rooms ladies", which is a fine euphemism for a brothel
He was naturalized American in 1892. He lied during the process, claiming he arrived 2 years earlier than the date he arrived. His witnesses were a worker and a man whose occupations included running female boarding schools, a polite name for a brothel...
One will notice the tradition of lies is firmly anchored in the family...
After Seattle, he will follow the gold diggers' route to Alaska where he will build hotel restaurants in which he sells food, of course, but also enough to satisfy the carnal appetites of gold diggers, who are for the most part single. Strictly speaking, he doesn't run a brothel but still makes women of poor repute paying a very high price for the rental rooms...
The establishments were built over lands he didn't own, just as his grandson later did in Mar-a-Lago...
Once again, the family has a long tradition in skulduggery...
In short, having made his fortune, he returned to New York, decided to visit his mother in Bavaria, and married his neighbors' daughter. The couple went back to the USA but the wife could never acclimatize and so Trump's grandpa decided to sell his goods and return to Germany.
The authorities soon suspected Frederick had left Germany to escape military service in the Imperial Army, and his file was closed as draft dodger. Officially, he violated a resolution of the Imperial Office of the Interior, which withdraws his nationality from any German emigrant to North America in order to escape his military duties. For several months, Trump tried in vain to convince the ministry and allow him to remain in his native country.
«I did not immigrate to America in order to avoid military service, but to establish for myself a profitable livelihood and to enable myself to support my mother in Kallstadt.»
In desperation, he wrote a letter to the Prince of Bavaria begging him to stay in Germany. He will not be heard and will be deported.
