most people do not know the facts and history of Fred and his draft dodging reasons for coming to the US in the 1st place. When he tried to go back to Germany they saw he was a draft dodging loser and liar and told him to get lost forever. Gee, aren't we lucky to have him come back to the US as a moral citizen.

Most informed Dems have known this fact for at least 10 years but the tRump fans do not and they probably wouldn't care since they are 101% hypocritical asses and losers as well.

According to Mary Trump's book, Don Jr. once considered joining the military, but his father said he'd "disown him."

She's obviously know them her whole life, plus she's a clinical psychologist, so she shares a lot of insights and experiences.

From what she said in her books, their father was the "normal" one. Instead of joining the family business, he chose to follow his dream, became a pilot for TWA at the start of the jet age. However, both his father and younger brother took to calling him "a bus driver in the sky."
