Sauce for the gander
Fun fact it just occurred to me to look up to make sure it is a fact.
All of Trump’s grandparents were immigrants. All of them. One two three four.
On October 7, 1885, Friedrich Trump, a 16-year-old German barber, boarded a ship with a one-way ticket to America, escaping three years of compulsory German military service. He had been a sickly child, unsuited to hard labor, and feared the effects of the draft.
…
Trump is the son, and grandson, of immigrants: German on his father’s side, and Scottish on his mother’s. None of his grandparents, and only one of his parents, was born in the United States or spoke English as their mother tongue. (His mother’s parents, from the remote Scottish Outer Hebrides, lived in a majority Gaelic-speaking community.)
Worth keeping in mind.
I had quite a few Hispanic students who were several generations here. They’re probably living in fear now.
Since 1933 only two US presidents have had parents born out of the US: Obama and Trump.
Like grandfather, like grandson where military service is concerned — though in the case of the latter, he wasn’t a sickly child, except mentally.
