The restaurant burned down in the Whitehorse fire of 1905.[19] Blair wrote that "once again, in a situation that created many losers, [Frederick Trump] managed to emerge a winner."

Brothel owner... Yes. Accurate for the family line. A bunch of perverts.

Don't shame sex work. Lots of brothel owners are bad people but it's not automatic.

Ran a brothel, eh? Guess the trumps have never strayed too far from the idea of paying for sex.

Trump worked as a barber and manager of a restaurant-hotel and was beginning to acquire real estate in Queens when he died in the 1918 flu pandemic.

Fucking irony

restaurant-hotel

Well, a sort of hotel.

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

Located at 208 Washington Street, the Dairy Restaurant was in the middle of Seattle's Pioneer Square; Washington Street was nicknamed "the Line" and included an assortment of saloons, casinos, and brothels. Biographer Gwenda Blair called it "a hotbed of sex, booze, and money, was the indisputable center of the action in Seattle."[6]: 41 The restaurant served food and liquor and was advertised to include "Rooms for Ladies", a common euphemism for prostitution.[6]:

Despite the placer's claim providing Trump no right to build any structure on the land, he quickly bought lumber to build a new boarding house and operate it similarly to the Dairy Restaurant.

In May 1898, Trump and Levin moved to Bennett, British Columbia,[17] a town known for prospectors building boats in order to travel to Dawson. In Bennett, Trump and Levin opened the Arctic Restaurant and Hotel, which offered fine dining, lodging and sex in a sea of tents.

Is that his real name? I thought trump changed his family name from Drumph

There seems to be some speculation about when the change was made. Some time between late 1600's and early 1900's seems to be the consensus. Both DJT and his father has always been named Trump though.
