    You see in the original universe, Trump’s grandfather was never expelled in 1904 The Trumps became rich and successful in Germany, and when the Nazis came along, the Trump family was right there with them.

    After the war, the Trumps pulled a BMW and managed to survive the backlash, becoming as powerful, or more than they had been before WW2, and when neo-fascists started to pop out of the wood-work in the late 2000’s, it was in Germany that DJT (or as he was known in that universe Gerhardt Johann Trump) rallied the far-right to take power in Germany, leading to another world war which ended when the USA dropped a nuke on Berlin.

    In the chaos that followed, one man invented a time machine, travelled back through time and arranged for Trump’s grandfather to be deported by making it impossible to fulfill his military service and thereby creating a new timeline in which Trump ends up in America.

      Opa Trump got rich with brothels and liquor during the gold rush in the US. Not because he was such a hard worker and awesome bussinessman that he pulled himself by the bootstraps into the millions. But by the fortune that he found enough women to exploit and that there were a lot of lonely men paying for it in gold.

      I believe he would have never had the chance to make big money in europe at the time. He wouldn’t have skipped out on military service and would have been conscripted early into WW1 and would have possibly died at the Somme or Verdune. The family would have sunken into poverty and obscurity without a breadwinner and nobody would have even heard of any of these Clowns.
