2. This is not, at first glance, a very Trump-like place.
A tidy village in Germany’s wine country, Kallstadt is home to modest people, modest houses and an open, welcoming attitude toward outsiders — immigrants, tourists and oenophiles alike.
It is also home to people who claim an ancestral relationship to Donald Trump, who can trace his roots to a Kallstadt family once known as the Drumpfs. And that connection is making the people of Kallstadt a little uneasy.
“At first we used to just laugh about Trump running for president, but it’s not funny anymore,” said Bernd Weisenborn, a 54-year-old winegrower whose immaculately clean vineyard lies just across the street from the house where Trump’s grandfather Friedrich grew up. “It’s actually becoming embarrassing; the things that Trump has been saying are just out of line.”
Weisenborn, a friendly man with a hearty laugh, said he is a distant cousin of the Republican presidential front-runner — his great-grandfather was the brother of Trump’s grandmother. He described Kallstadt residents as generally open-minded, tolerant and welcoming, and said many find Trump’s policy statements and outbursts of vulgarity difficult to digest.
“We’re of two minds about Trump,” he said. “On the one hand, it’s great to see someone with Kallstadt roots become such a business tycoon in America. It’s the American dream. But on the other hand, it’s hard to be proud of anyone who makes such statements against Muslims, immigrants and women.”
