That seems implausible. Didnt his grandparents immigrate here?

From germany. And his mother was a scottish immigrant. He almost certainly has exactly 0 native american dna.

that's not how these DNA tests work


Explain

The DNA tests are a test of probability. Warren's test said there was a probability that she was 1/32 to 1/1024 Native American. 1/1024 falls on the low end of the confidence interval. That is such a low percentage that it is entirely possible that Trump's test would reveal a similar genetic makeup on the high end of his confidence interval, even if it doesn't make logical sense. That's how small Warren's Native ancestry is.


Didnt the test say she assuredly has a Native American ancestor 6 to 10 generations back?

Theres literally no way Trump can say the same.

No. It gives a probability that she had on Native ancestor with a statistical confidence between 6 and 10 generations removed. A range that almost every white person in the US would have.
