Trumps grandfather’s name was Drumpf. which he changed to Trump in 1892!

… Trump’s (grandfather) father Friedrich Drumpf immigrated to New York City in 1885 and worked as a barber for six years, becoming a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1892…”
I typed in (grandfather.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Trump

Trumps family has only been in this country since 1885!
