Donald J. Drumpf is a parody and a meme first introduced in the third episode of the third season of John Oliver's show Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, Oliver stated that an ancestor of businessman Donald Trump changed the family name from Drumpf, a surname of German origin, to Trump. The name change occurred in the 1600s.

A few days before the broadcast, "Drumpf" had become a trademarked term held by Drumpf Industries, LLC, of Delaware, presumably represented by John Oliver and/or the show's producers. Within hours after broadcast, the search term "Donald Drumpf" gained tremendous popularity.

Origin

See also: Donald Trump (Last Week Tonight)

On the February 28, 2016, episode of Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, John Oliver created the hashtag #MakeDonaldDrumpfAgain, referencing that Donald Trump's presidential campaign used the slogan "Make America Great Again, and that Trump's ancestors had the German last name "Drumpf". He 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.

Oliver called Trump 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."

Immediately after the broadcast segment, web searches for the term "Donald Drumpf" went viral. By Super Tuesday, "Donald Drumpf" surpassed "Ted Cruz" and "Marco Rubio," who were both GOP candidates for the 2016 United States Presidential election in Google Searches.

Legacy

A Twitter account, not ostensibly under Oliver's operation, is going by the name "Donald J. Drumpf" and the handle @RealDonalDrumpf. However, the account with over 27,000 followers is not entirely new, as it has been active and tweeting since May 2013, before Oliver's segment of February 2016. The account's page says that it is " 100% classy Donald Trump parody account. Operated under the actual family name Drumpf."

"DeepDrumpf" is a recurrent neural network with an ability to post Trump-like statements on Twitter is a computer program created by a post-doctoral candidate at Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The bot, which mimics Donald Trump's "simple" speech patterns, got its namesake due to Oliver's show. The bot's account describes itself as being programmed based on Donald Trump's speech patterns and average vocabulary. The bot's designer said he was originally inspired by a Shakespearean prose bot along with "a report that Trump spoke at the level of a fourth grader." The bot makes "even Trumpier statements than Trump himself."

A website promoted by HBO sells authorized Donald Drumpf merchandise including baseball caps designed to parody the "Make America Great Again" slogan. On the same site the creators released a corresponding Google Chrome browser extension on Google Play, which allows a user to change all internet instances of "Trump" to "Drumpf" in the user's browser window. The extension had 333,000 downloads as of March 4. Individual artists began selling their own versions of the slogan "Make Donald Drumpf Again" on a variety of t-shirts, coffee mugs, posters and hats.
