I'm sure some people want to believe it's a classic American story, but...
"Friedrich Trump came to the United States amid a flood of Germans...he married a woman from his German hometown, Kallstadt, where his parents had owned vineyards, and attempted to return home with his fortune. But when his draft dodging came to the fore, the couple lost their Bavarian citizenship and were obliged to return to America for good."
Sounds good on the face of it except they didn't want to stay in America. They went home and got thrown out.
