Donald Trump's approach to military service is sex videos pornwell established -- the president-elect avoided the draft five times, once for bad feet -- but it turns out his grandfather shared his reluctance to head to the front line for his country.
Friedrich Trump, Donald's grandfather on his father Fred's side, was kicked out of Germany in 1905 for failing to complete mandatory service, according to a royal decree unearthed by a historian and submitted to German newspaper Bild.
He was permanently banished for emigrating to the U.S. in 1885 without giving the authorities notice of his departure, thus blocking his repatriation and establishing the Trump family in America for good.

He'd been born there in 1869 but had escaped to the United States as part of the gold rush. Having made his fortune and avoiding service, he tried to resettle in Germany to no avail.
“Friedrich Trump emigrated from Germany to the USA in 1885," Paul told Bild. "However, he failed to de-register from his homeland and had not carried out his military service, which is why the authorities rejected his attempt at repatriation.”

In fact, Friedrich Trump traveled back to the U.S. after the ruling on a steamship with Elizabeth while she was three months pregnant with Trump's dad Fred, never to live in his native Kallstadt again.
Incidentally, the locals in the family's ancestral region are not wild about Donald Trump, and have called him "full of hot air" and a "questionable personality."

And the rest, as we know, is a very sorry history.
