You have to admit "Drumpf" is pretty funny.
("You have to admit.." doesn't literally mean you have to or else!

)
The entire Drumpf thing just wasn't right.
They were always called Trump, and now I can find this guy.
Makes so much more sense, because they're Rheinländer,
so it would be typical dialect to drop the f from the word Trumpf,
which actually is a German word, meaning the same as English "Trump"
That family goes back to Johann Sebastian Trump from 1699
Still not technically Bavarian, btw, but Rheinland Palatine,
the confusion comes from the fact that the kingdom of Bavaria was much larger than the
Bundesland/"state" of Bavaria is today. So back before Prussians fucked us over, Bavaria had much more mass, and included many many cultures within one kingdom
However, you would never see someone from Upper or Lower Bavaria call them "Bavarians",
because they are not, culturally. Just like Franconia is in northern Bavaria, and they are
not Bavarians, they are their own tribe.
Or Swabian Bavarians, which are BaWü culture, but part of Bav. Although in BaWü the culture is that Ba hates Wü and Wü hates Ba, so it's really complicated who those assholes belong to
Well, I don't see the humor but I'm glad we finally cleared this up,
because "Drumpf" was absolutely killing me, since it sounds absolutely ridiculous,
and is no name whatsoever.
So his ancestors must have said they were from Bavaria, because back then there was no Deutschland,
so it was a reference towards the
country they were from, which back in 1870 was it's own kingdom, as said.
However 2 years after Friedrichs birth 1872, Bavaria and Prussia had fused together to Germany,
so it's a bit altbacken to still say they were Bavarian in 1891(when he moved to Seattle),
since they no longer were a part of Bavaria for almost 20 years at that point.
Suck it, Palatines. You're not Bavarians, give up.
You weren't Bavarians when you were part of Bavaria, and you certainly are not now.
THIS is their highest mountain (Erbeskopf)
They are not Bavarian, we don't even call this a hill
We build towns on steeper hills
