onthedarkside Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Former US president Donald Trump has declared "it's great to be home" as he touched down in Aberdeen ahead of a visit to his nearby golf course. The 76-year-old arrived at the city's airport at about 11.30am and was met by two pipers, a red carpet and 10-vehicle motorcade. He pumped his fist in trademark fashion as he exited his plane. Trump has revealed he will be going to the Menie estate site near the city to open a "spectacular" second course. https://news.sky.com/story/great-to-be-home-donald-trump-arrives-in-aberdeen-for-first-visit-to-uk-since-2019-12870756 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendejo Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 it's 'great to be home' I imagine a Scotsman responding with "does this look like New York to you, Donnie?"

Not exactly. Trump's father was born in the U.S. His mother wasn't. His German grandfather also left less than honorably (to avoid taxes and the army which brings some context to chronic tax grifter and "Bone Spurs" Donald). It's not surprising people think as you do. Trump himself has lied about where his father was born (on brand).

Trump's family ties to Europe are more recent than Biden's i.e. his ancestors on both his paternal and maternal side migrated to the US more recently than Biden's. Whether Trump's grandfather left Germany under a cloud and/or Trump lied about his father's place of birth is totally irrelevant. 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't agree that Trump's grandfather's misbehavior is irrelevant. When he goes to Germany and claims some kind of kinship the German's know that when his grandfather tried to return there, they kicked him out! The context of Trump being by far the most disgraced American president in history (and also a corrupt draft dodger and proven tax cheat) is also relevant.

If I were a Biden supporter, I wouldn't throw around the 'draft dodger' accusation... Trump gonna bless the locals with another boost for their economy and create jobs.

pomchop Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Sure managed to pxss away a lot of $$ which i would surmise was not his own but probably loans based on inflated valuations as par for the trump course. https://www.forbes.com/sites/danalexander/2022/01/05/trump-has-now-lost-more-than-100-million-at-his-european-golf-resorts/?sh=1c667d413463 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I originally wrote: "I don't have much time for Trump the politician but his family ties to Europe (Germany and Scotland) are a lot stronger than Biden's (2nd generation vs. 4th/5th)." I may have got the actual generations wrong but Biden's ancestors migrated to the US before Trump's. That is a fact and that is my point. 2 hours ago, Jingthing said: They were not.

Completely irrelevant to whether Donald Trump feels any kinship with Germany. 2 hours ago, Jingthing said: The context of Trump being by far the most disgraced American president in history (and also a corrupt draft dodger and proven tax cheat) is also relevant. That is opinion. Even if it is correct, how on earth has that anything to do with his family tree? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hanaguma Posted May 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2023 No, it is true that Trump was a draft dodger. As were many young men of his generation. Including the current occupant of the White House. Trump got one deferment for medical and 4 for being a student. Biden one for medical and 5 for being a student. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
