    The Trump family name actually originated originally from the name Drumpf, stemming from the word drumpfinate, to excrete into a persons mouth from an elevated position, I have no idea what I’m talking about, goodnight.

      Originally a Drumpf was a drummer; i.e. one who makes their living off of hitting up skin heads.

That’s it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
