I mean, grandpappy Trump ran a brothel and speculated on land. Not the most... Reputable man.

(Not that there's anything wrong with brothels now, if and when they are properly regulated, but in 1885+ I don't think they had many rights.)

Ironically he was expelled (by royal degree no less) for skipping out on mandatory military service. Twice. Didn't even made an excuse like bones spurs or something.

But yeah, making money by exploiting the vulnerable lays in the family at least since the brothels of the gold rush.
