The fact that Trump is still using "Make America Great Again" is yet another indication of how he's failed miserably as a President.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Yes, despite all the painfully obvious trainwrecks, it's semantics that finally lets us see his incompetence. /s

It's only because he obviously needs a second term to finally make it great again, man. Come on. Oh and if he still hasn't made it 1/

Munich in German is "München", if that makes you feel better.

My U.S. ancestry is back to 1630s... no family in WWII or Vietnam due to generational age gaps making men too old/young for both wars.

lordofthedice
My family is pretty anti-war and not fond of the military, but now that I think about it my Grandfather was in WWII as an army engineer.
ThomasThundersword
indeed. even in the later days of the draft you could object and be put in a non-combat role heck even a non theater support role iirc>
ThomasThundersword
but you still had to serve (this is more for the WWs than for nam which was a little dif)

wait why was he kicked out of germany?!
Feralkyn
He wasn't; but he was banished retroactively after leaving to avoid the mandatory army service. Doing so was illegal.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
IIRC it had something to do with the whole "leaving the country to avoid the draft" thing earlier.
ShadeEmberi
ah, i thought there was some other scandal!
Seras91
No but kingdom Bavaria had a mandatory military service at this time and he tried to dodge it

they forced people (especially undesirables) to go to places like the U.S. with the idea that it would also

Mr. Trump was sewing discord before he was elected. I doubt that behavior will change after the election, regardless of the outcome.

well it cant get worse, hesdone more damage than any foreign power or terrorist has.

Imagine if trump was more competent and could focus his attention for longer.

my main comeback when people say trump isnt hitler, is the only difference is hitler was competent and charismatic and could form sentences.

Also, he had a thing for jews, lebensraum and organizational skills.

That was a wild ride. And fuck the Trumps all the way back to 1883 and the stinking swamp they crawled out of.

That's why he want to drain the swamp. So him and his family can crawl out of it

Please stop this slander. I think it's just awful that people go around badmouthing great things like swamps. They are very important biomes
saganworshipper
*1885. Seems the documentation was falsified or Drumpf lied.

Well if you read the story here, the volatile swamp creatures were in fact ejected from their origin place as they weren’t wanted there.

ItsActuallyDavidNow
You could argue Hitler said it first.
MaterNyx
Possibly yes. Psychologically spoken it's a smart use of words. It triggers patriotism, acknowledging that not all is good and "improvement"
MaterNyx
At the same time, without further defining. It addresses literally everybody. Further you can blame anybody and talk yourself out of any
MaterNyx
Accusation. This is like tailor-made for Trump ?
MaterNyx
Sure. I think the only difference is Hitler didn't use it as some kind of campaign slogan. Or at least not that I'd know of.

Well, we ARE very loud though, but I don't know a single person who values flaunting wealth either.

I can attest we are loud. The fishing village I live in has a joke that yelling across the harbor is the town paging service.

I mean, we're definitely loud, but most of us are pretty humble. All that wealth flaunting is on TV shows, not real life by and large.

Bavaria is quite beautiful, though.

the trumps are from a part of germany,Palatinate, which only belonged to bavaria back then. it's not today and people there are no bavarians

Yeah seriously. They prob meant the metaphorical swamp, which is their trash lineage

Isn’t that something you can research as a German?

He had some dangerous and treasonous opinions about pretzels.

He didn't get kicked out. He left again to avoid military conscription and was consequently banished. He was already gone.
Mytrashpanda101
Broke the German beer purity law
Ninjainslippers
Being that it was a Trump, he probably did something so bad but unexpected that it resulted in a new German law.
rollerskateorgies
So you're saying pre-Hitler Germany had better sense than modern day 'murica? I don't disagree.
Ninjainslippers
I wasn't consciously saying that but now that you point out the implication, I'm inclined to say yes. Which is terrifying.

I'm sure there were lots of reasons. it looks like he refused to do military service. Lol!

I dont get why he says he came in 1885 but the form is 1883
becauseurwrong
There's a lot of that on documents back then. You'll find within a 3yr difference of immigration dates on naturalization and census papers-
becauseurwrong
sometimes. If you can pinpoint the manifest of the ship they immigrated on, you'll get the exact date they arrived, which is nerdy fun.
MH9009
He lived in the US for 2 years before starting the naturalization process in 1885?
longNECKpeople
False so it seems like he moved here before his mandatory draft
ReaperCDN
Maybe it took that long to make the voyage? I don't know how long it takes to sail that era of ship across the ocean.
rollerskateorgies
So you're suggesting 2 fucking years? Forgiving stamina, you could swim to North America from Europe in about 90 days.
ReaperCDN
No I'm not suggesting it. I just said it may have taken that long to get there. I don't know if they were at sea for 2 years.
theforceiswith
About 2-3 months depending on weather
PeanutGorilla
Lying on the form so it looks like he came here at 14 before his mandatory military service started
