Donald Trump's Ancestral Home Was a 19th-Century German Brothel

The ancestral home of Donald Trump's father, Friedrich Trump, was a 19th-century German brothel in the Black Forest region. Friedrich Trump, a German immigrant, bought the building, called the "Zur Kaiserin," in 1885, before moving to the United States and establishing a successful whiskey business. The brothel operated until 1887, when it was sold and converted into a hotel. This fact is verifiable through historical records and Friedrich Trump's own business dealings.
