I honestly thought Trump was joking when he said people from Haiti had AIDS

and Nigerians wouldnt go back to their huts in Africa. I always wanted to believe he was joking the way insensitive people joke about other races. But now after today I realize he wasnt joking, he really does believe these things. And he's the President, the face of America to the rest of the world. Its a sad time indeed.

1. Seriously? Who jokes about that stuff? They are human being like our children, like us.

2. I wish someone would do an ancestry analysis of his DNA

I bet there would be some mixes in there that would shut him up

3. Maybe not. I took the 23 and Me test, expecting to find out interesting things.

Nope. I am white bread -- the floppy kind -- like Wonder Bread, without the wonder.

I wanted to be an interesting mix. I especially wanted to find out what percentage of Native American I am.

The answer is 0.

Yet in my family, it is accepted as fact that my grandmother was 1/2 NA. My dad was 1/4. Therefore, I should be 1/8.

I told my cousins about this. Now they think my real father must have been the milk man. Seriously. I mentioned that reaction to my mother because I thought it was funny. She didn't.

I figured I was going to be white bread on my mother's side because she is from Germany, World War II-era childhood.

But my dad's side ... I figured since they were from Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kentucky, I'd be a racial mix -- but, no. His family are from Ireland and I am 44% Irish/English.

100% European.

Genealogist Christopher Child said that while the candidates often focus on pointing out differences between them, their ancestry shows they are more alike than they think.

"It shows that lots of different people can be related, people you wouldn't necessarily expect," Child said.

Obama has a prolific presidential lineage that features Democrats and Republicans. His distant cousins include President George W. Bush and his father, George H.W. Bush, Gerald Ford, Lyndon Johnson, Harry S. Truman and James Madison. Other Obama cousins include Vice President Dick Cheney, British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill and Civil War General Robert E. Lee.
