Trudeau Trolls Trump with Photo of Grampa's Canadian "Hotel".

Trudeau presented Trump with a photo of his grandfather's whorehouse in Canada. Troll level: Grand Master!

Great moment between @JustinTrudeau and @POTUS when he gave him picture of the President’s grandfather’s hotel in Canada.

It was a brothel.






Donald Trump’s grandfather Friedrich Trump ran a restaurant, bar, and brothel in British Columbia.

Whitehorse is named after the historic rapids on the Yukon River which resembled the flowing manes of charging white horses.

And how cool ( I think) that you live in White Horse.

In the summer of 1977 several friends and I set off on 3 BMW motorcycles from Upstate NY for an all summer trip.. Plan was ALASKA OR BUST ! We got as far as Prince George and had to turn around and go home 'cause I had to go back to work in a couple weeks. college prof.

Yeah, I know that you have to be born here to be president, but how about if we make an exception to our constitution.

After all, Trump is in the process of shredding our constitution, so what the hell.

55. Trumps grandfather made his fortune by following the Klondike Gold Rush
Sun Jun 10, 2018, 03:40 AM
Jun 2018

He didn’t pan for gold but he did open hotels/brothels with bars so the miners could blow off steam and pay with their gold dust. The hotel was strictly to make his fortune and nothing else. He had no intention of making it his home. When the gold dried up he just up and left without taking anything with him. He got rich and went back to Bavaria. He got married and returned to New York.

"He returned to Germany with US$582,000 in today's currency, and found a wife. But he was greeted as a draft-dodger for being away and becoming a U.S. citizen during his military years.

So he was deported from his own country. He boarded a ship for New York, his wife pregnant with Donald's dad."
