I give you Woman NOT Working At A Computer Because She Is Calling The 24-Hr Help Line, ca. 1995:

Accept the whole joke was Donald Trump made fun of John Stewart because he wasn’t using and embracing his original last name, Leibowitz. So John Oliver decided to bring up the fact that Donald Trump wasn’t embracing his Family’s original name Drumpf. The rest is history

It’s about hypocrisy you dipshit. But I’m sure you knew that already and are being willfully ignorant.

“...one of my ancestors, a winegrower, changed the family name to Trump at the end of the 1600s — a good move, I think, since Drumpf Tower doesn’t sound nearly as catchy.”

BINGO! PirateRadio got the actual source. Skip to 2:36 if you don’t have time to watch it all. It boils down to Trump pointing out Jon Stewart changed his surname and criticizing that move as not being proud of his heritage while Trump himself doesn’t embrace his family’s original name.

Trump said himself the name change was a smart move. Clearly not concerned about his own lost heritage. Stewart changed his name due to issues with his father...not his heritage. Trump is the one that brought it up. You can’t really fault people for calling him out on it.

Hey if that’s the culture of left wing acceptance, I’ll gladly sign on, since the culture of right wing acceptance is to let in all the xenophobic, misogynistic, bigoted jackasses and give them the reins to the party.

So its ok for trump to bash people about their name (Jon stewart) but doing so in mind is some kind of intolerance? Fuck off.

It is hypocritical of Trump not to be “proud of his heritage” as he put it when he criticized John Stewart’s name change (which had nothing to do with hiding heritage to begin with). Trump prefers his new name over his old as he once said “one of my ancestors, a winegrower, changed the family name to Trump at the end…

Trump singles people out for who their grandparents were, people single Trump out for who his grandfather was as a humorous response and it’s “hipocracy”?

Well the whole thing started because he said Jon Stewart must be “ashamed” of his past since his birth name is Jonathan Stuart Leibowitz. So its really just giving Trump back what he started

It’s okay to make fun of a person who campaigns on a racist, misogynistic, and bigoted platform. Making fun of his name is probably the most innocent joke you could make about such a worthless human being. It’s funny to see people like yourself so defensive about protecting their hatemonger though. “The left is such…

You really don’t understand where this all came from do you? The only reason people make fun of his name is to emphasize his hypocrisy from when he made fun of John Stewart for change his last name. Here are some quotes from Trump about it.

Nice strawman, did you build it all by yourself?

Nice try. It has to do with Trump mocking John Stewart for not using his original last name. So, people started calling Trump by his real last name, which is actually Drumpf. But, I guess you are going to lie anyway.

Ah yes, the “I make everything I don’t like into a sweeping political statement” guy. We were wondering when you’d be joining us.

The only way you could construe that as making fun of someone is that if you felt that there was something wrong with the name Drumpf. The funny part is where people as xenophobic as Trump or his followers wouldn’t find it amusing to refer to a name that alludes to his family being immigrants at some point in time. I…

thats not at all the point.

I think you are missing the joke...
The point is to try to separate the man Trump from the brand Trump. That, and Drumpf is such a much more fitting name for him.

Ahahahaaha. My Plugin did that! I’ll fix it.
