I did not know that. I wonder since JTrump took possession of Telsa's work, if JTrump claimed authorship of any of Tesla's projects.

I'm almost certain that that is something that any trump would do under those circumstances!

And to think lil don thinks the WHOLE family is smart because of his uncle. CLUELESS!!!

Tesla was obviously a genius and I wouldn't put it past a Trump to claim credit for someone else's work.

The whole family is absolute trash. I don't think they will ever purge that taint no matter how long their line continues. It's genetic.

emigrated to NY...

He returned in 1905 with his wife and child and was not allowed to stay.. He pleaded not to be deported.

"We were paralysed with fright, our happy family life was tarnished. My wife has been overcome by anxiety, and my lovely child has become sick," he wrote.

"Why should we be deported?" he asked, "This is very, very hard for a family. What will our fellow citizens think if honest subjects are faced with such a decree."

The royal family of Bavaria refused his pleas.. he returned to New York.

was running for president? Trump worked with his father; they were partners in sin, and crime, for decades.

We all need to learn everything about candidates who could gain office when it can make a difference.

Reading everything out there, both truth and lying lies, about Hillary would practically take a village, but others, like Bernie Sanders or Kamala Harris for examples, only take a few hours for all sources, spread easily over a handful of days when in the mood for it. Even very powerful Mitch McConnell has only had a couple of thin biographies written about him, one a total puff piece, and his own preference of course; but compared to ignorance both are well worth reading anyway.

Trump's hate & racism (America First fake populism) coupled with Kochs' relentless drive to destroy democracy and install oligarchy,(a totalitarian gov't by the elite)... voila ,you have the 2 main pillars of the current Republican Party in 2018.
