This is utterly retarded. Keep in mind, I'm no Trump supporter, but you progressives are absolute idiots.
Dear US Americans ... would you really vote for a candidate only because his name somehow makes you feel that it might be related to "success"?
If you think this is why people would vote for Trump, you know nothing about American politics. The people are tired of crony capitalism, and whether you lean progressive or conservative pushes you either toward Sanders or Trump. Other candidates have corporations in their pockets. I would seriously consider voting for Trump if he were up against Hillary. I'd rather have a brash, ignorant businessman than a cunning, lying shill.
Beware! This is not even his ancestors' real name!
Once again, a foreigner assuming that he knows all about another country's culture. I've already had an argument with another foreigner over this exact same thing. You have
no idea what you are talking about.
First of all, he was born Donald Trump. He is still Donald Trump. He hasn't changed his name. His great-grandfather changed his name, but that doesn't reflect on his great-grandson in any way.
Secondly, as far as I am aware, the name could have been changed on accident. It's very common for names to change upon arriving to a new country, especially a hundred-plus years ago. It could have been a clerical error. Or maybe his great-grandfather was afraid of persecution because he was
a German, so he changed his name to something more English-sounding.
Thirdly, (prepare for the rektoning),
THIS IS COMPLETELY NORMAL FOR AMERICA.Almost every American has had their ancestral name changed. I'll give you an example, to show you how ridiculously common it is.
My last name is English. But guess what? It was once Norman. Oh no, I must be ashamed of my ancestors' conquests!
My great-grandfather's last name sounds Asian, but it was, in fact, an Anglicized version of a Scottish clan. Oh no! He must have been ashamed of his kilt!
TL;DR
John Oliver thinks it's shocking that Trump used to be Drumpf because his ancestors had the privilege of not having to leave their home country and changing their names to fit in. Learn some American history and quit shaming people for common occurrences.
#MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain will accomplish nothing but bolstering Trump's support. He's already the lowest of the low. He's the underdog. Making fun of his
name is only going to help him. Honestly, Oliver's exposé was excellent on its own, but the playground-tier bullying tactics ruined it. Now he's made it easier for conservatives to dismiss the exposé.
your mistakes make billions suffer.
Honestly, I don't care. I have no guilt over what happens to other countries. I have no control over it. Our elections are a joke. Now, why don't you maybe go tell Merkel to quit letting migrants rape her women?
