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 Presidents grandfathers hotel in Canada.
It was a brothel.
Donald Trumps grandfather Friedrich Trump ran a restaurant, bar, and brothel in British Columbia.

Grand pop was a racist mofo, but still associated with Jews, just like his son and grand son.

(47,351 posts)didn't say "The best the world has ever seen", just "north of Vancouver". The hyperbole evolves with each generation I think.

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.

(15,031 posts)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.

(53,410 posts)He didnt 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.

(24,324 posts)"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."
