Donald J. Drumpf is an Internet meme and parody made popular in early March 2016 by John Oliver's show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver when Oliver stated that an ancestor of Donald Trump changed the family name from Drumpf, to Trump. Within hours after broadcast, the search term "Donald Drumpf" gained tremendous popularity.

Drumpf also may refer to a trademark held by Drumpf Industries, LLC, of Delaware, and has been used to name a recurrent neural network called DeepDrumpf. Also named after the Drumpf meme is the Drumpfinator, John Oliver's free browser extension that replaces occurrences of the word "Trump" with "Drumpf" on webpages which has been downloaded more than 333,000 times.

Origin

#MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain

On the February 28, 2016, episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, in the context of Trump's germanic family heritage and the family's ancestral name, John Oliver created the hashtag #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain, referencing Donald Trump's presidential campaigns use of the slogan "Make America Great Again". Oliver also registered the web domain www.donaldjdrumpf.com, which sells parody items replacing "Trump" with the "Drumpf" brand. According to the The New York Times, Oliver took precautions to dispel the notion that the Trumps' last name had been changed in the more recent past. A writer for the Boston Globe said that if the Trumps had not changed their surname, they may have been less successful in America.

Donald J. Drumpf

Oliver described what the name "Donald J Drumpf" means to him personally in a comic satire stating he thinks it is about a "bullshit artist", a "baby with even smaller smaller fingers", and a "shitty lifestyle brand," stating that "Drumpf is much more reflective of who really is." Oliver said that if viewers wanted to vote for "the charismatic guy promising to make America great again," they should "stop and take a moment to imagine how would feel if just met a guy named Donald Drumpf." Oliver called Trump a "serial liar," saying that the latter had "a string of broken business ventures and the support of a former Klan leader, who he can’t decide whether or not to condemn." Oliver told viewers to use the word "Drumpf," saying, "Drumpf is much less magical. It’s the sound produced when a morbidly obese pigeon flies into the window of a foreclosed Old Navy. Drumpf: It’s the sound of a bottle of store-brand root beer falling off the shelf in a gas station minimart."

Drumpfinator

Drumpfinator is a Google Chrome browser extension that changes all occurrences of the name Trump to Drumpf on any webpage a user is viewing. Within one week of the broadcast the Drumpfinator extension had been downloaded more than 333,800 times from Google Play.

DeepDrumpf

DeepDrumpf is a recurrent neural network designed by an MIT post-doctoral student. The creator stated in an interview that because Trump's language was so simple compared to other presidential candidates', it should be easy to duplicate. Once the computer network was built the creator fed it the text of all known speeches given by Donald Trump. Given the limited amount of input data available the "bot" has a difficult time mimicking Trump effectively. "The algorithm essentially learns an underlying structure from all the data it gets, and then comes up with different combinations of the data that reflect the structure that it was taught," says the system creator. He stated that if there were more data available, like all the data Facebook's AI system can analyse, with more data the neural network would better be able to mimic the presidential candidate. Even with the limited data for input the bot has output some statements that seem eerily similar to the man the network is patterned to mimic.

The system isn't directly connected to Twitter. The creator feeds the system with seed data and the system returns a 1000-character string, the best of which are tweeted out by the system creator. One of the recent tweets reads "we really do have people that are stupid".

Criticism

The New York Times published an article titled "Donald Drumpf: A Funny Label, but is it Fair?" which states that Donald Trump, his father or his grandfather had no role in changing the family name from Drumpf. The reporter interviewed Gwenda Blair, who had written a biography on Trump. Blair says that the name change occurred at some point before the end of the 1600s, when, according to tax records, the Trump name appears to have first become established. She further writes that Trump's grandfather, Friedrich, changed his name to the Americanized "Frederick" when he came to the US in 1892.

Snopes.com says that Drumpf is indeed the original family name, but the writers were unable to determine what year the name was changed to Trump.

Oliver's portrayal caused an article to be written that claimed "'Donald Drumpf' jokes play on the same ugly xenophobia Trump does". Other coverage cites that people do change their names all the time and that it is respectful to honor that person's choice and proclaimed this as similar to the example of Howard Cosell on the subject of his fellow sports journalists who refused to stop calling Muhammad Ali "Cassius Clay."
