This is what I thought as well.

If I picked Hitler (because that's the mandatory first choice) I'd be preventing WW2, which my Grandpa fought in. That would definitely affect my existence in some way.

I feel like Trump's influence between his birth and mine wouldn't have a direct impact on my parents' actions.

Then you find out you were conceived in a trump hotel.

Even if that were true, I doubt my parents would've chosen it because it was a trump hotel. If it were any other hotel, they probably would've still chosen it for the same reasons they originally did.

I don't think you realize how little would have to change for you to not be born. There were millions of sperm cells churning in your daddy's balls. Millions of alternate instruction sets to contribute to one half of a whole person. A two-minute delay, a sneeze, the thermostat being off by a single degree could have led to the birth of a completely different person.

Oh shit! After flying in with Trump air and having Trump steak.
