Fred Trump, son of German immigrants around 1905, and his son Donald Trump, as beneficiaries of the opportunities the U.S. offered immigrants and the New Deal offered homeowners
08/12/2016
Donald Trump's father, Fred Trump grew up in the era of Woodrow Wilson with opportunities for German immigrants even though many families like that of Fred Trump spoke mostly German at home. It was the period following a wave of German immigration from the 1850's to cities like St. Louis, in which another famous immigrant Joseph Pulitzer arrived in America. Some of the leaders in the German community in St. Louis were fleeing Germany after the revolution of 1848 led to suppression of liberties. Woodrow Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt and Taft, never debated about the value of immigrants to the country at the time around 1905. T.R was known to go into workplaces where immigrants worked in poor conditions so that he could improve these conditions. In 2016 children of children of immigrants were debating the value of immigrants to the country, forgetting their origins and the opportunities opened to them by TR, Wilson and Taft.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
