German Chancellor Schäfer presented the birth certificate of his German grandfather Friedrich Trump to U.S. President Trump today (June 6, Beijing Time). Friedrich Trump was born in Bavaria, Germany in 1869.
[Smart remarks]: Let's see if Trump will accept this gesture. The German Chancellor is reminding Trump that he is an immigrant from Germany and should treat Germany well. However, Friedrich Trump was also a draft dodger. In 1905, he immigrated to the United States to evade conscription and was stripped of his Bavarian citizenship. Germany revoked his citizenship because his grandfather evaded military service, but now, based on the power of the U.S. President, they are trying to claim kinship with his grandson.
