It finally happened: Donald Trump, the blustery billionaire businessman, is the Republican Party’s presumed nominee for president.

But when Americans head to the polls in November, they will not only be choosing between Trump and the Democratic Party’s nominee. They will be choosing between a whole slew of people who will advise the two candidates. Knowing who those people are, and how they have historically operated in the political world, is crucial to understanding what kind of sprawling, consequential decisions will be made from the White House.

This is particularly true when it comes to Trump, a man who has not only never held elected office, but whose policy positions seem to change at the drop of a hat. With his lack of political experience and ever-changing platform, it’s hard to know what Trump himself really thinks — which is why it matters even more who is advising him, as they may have an outsized role in dictating policy.

Here are the people who currently have the ear of the presumed Republican presidential nominee.

Actually the percentage of people with a German background was far higher before WW2. Probably around 30%.
You could almost call it a fight between US Germans vs German Germans. It probably also influenced why people weren't knocking themselves out wanting to get involved early in the war.

WASHINGTON: Mike Pompeo, chosen by President-elect Donald Trump to lead the Central Intelligence Agency, is a strident critic of the Iran nuclear deal and favors unrestrained data collection by US spy agencies.

As a member of the House Intelligence Committee, Republican Representative Pompeo, 52, has been active in monitoring the CIA and other US spy agencies, and has argued that they need unrestricted powers to collect data online from US citizens and foreigners.

The former army officer has also opposed efforts to shut down the US Guantanamo Bay prison camp for terror detainees, regularly criticizing releases and transfers of prisoners.

Crucial in the job will be how he regards the use of torture in interrogations banned by the Obama administration. The CIA´s reputation was deeply marred by its use of torture on detainees following the September 11 attacks.

Trump has said he believes "enhanced interrogation" works and that the US "should go much stronger than waterboarding." A graduate of the prestigious US West Point military academy, where he was first in his class, and later Harvard Law School, Pompeo worked in the powerful Republican-oriented law firm Williams and Connolly and owned an aircraft components firm, Thayer Aerospace.

After selling that company, with financial support from the influential conservative billionaire Koch brothers he was elected in Kansas in 2010 to the House of Representatives, where he was a member of the hardline Tea Party faction.

In the House, Pompeo made his name as one of the leaders of the controversial Benghazi Committee. Its highly politicized investigation into the 2012 attack on the US consulate in the Libyan city, which left four Americans, including the US ambassador, dead, targeted Trump´s presidential rival Hillary Clinton.

Pompeo gained exposure to intelligence matters in 2013 when he was appointed to the House Intelligence Committee. In that venue he leveled scathing criticism of the Obama administration´s 2015 deal with Iran to lift sanctions in exchange for a halt to its program to develop nuclear weapons.

In interviews and written pieces, he has pointed to Iran as the primary source of conflict in the Middle East since Tehran´s 1979 revolution. Pompeo said last year that the Iran nuclear deal is "empowering an Iranian regime that is intent on destroying America."

And on Thursday ahead of his nomination he tweeted: "I look forward to rolling back this disastrous deal with the world´s largest state sponsor of terrorism."

You couldn't put everybody in internment there were just too many. Even the scope of Japanese internments was limited to those who lived on the West coast.

Germans and Italians were interred too:
11,000 Germans. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_American_internment
almost 2000 Italians.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_American_internment

I think Eisenhower was of Jewish background from Sweden.

Besides most European Americans are now a mixture of various European ethnicities. It is not like most of them stick to their origins.

Typically ethnicity goes with last name. Obama is African because it is an African name even though his mom is a Dunham which is English.

Eisenhower is a German name. http://www.germanheritage.com/biographies/atol/eisenhower.html
