You know, I’m not often proud of Germany, but to expell this guys grandfather and revoke his citizenship when he wanted to move back to Germany might have been the best thing that happened to the country in the last 200 years.
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.
You see in the original universe, Trump’s grandfather was never expelled in 1904 The Trumps became rich and successful in Germany, and when the Nazis came along, the Trump family was right there with them.
After the war, the Trumps pulled a BMW and managed to survive the backlash, becoming as powerful, or more than they had been before WW2, and when neo-fascists started to pop out of the wood-work in the late 2000’s, it was in Germany that DJT (or as he was known in that universe Gerhardt Johann Trump) rallied the far-right to take power in Germany, leading to another world war which ended when the USA dropped a nuke on Berlin.
In the chaos that followed, one man invented a time machine, travelled back through time and arranged for Trump’s grandfather to be deported by making it impossible to fulfill his military service and thereby creating a new timeline in which Trump ends up in America.

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.)
