Sometimes Geni shows I'm connected to Donald Trump through his mother, and sometimes it shows no blood link, but, I do have a blood connection to the 42 other Presidents. Simply, COMMON ANCESTERS makes it possible!
BTW, Christine, we are 18th cousins three times removed through your father.

Plus, your mother is my 18th cousin twice removed.

Well hello cousins. I'm related to all of you, Barack descends from my Welborn line: Him, from Ruth Wilson (Welborn); me, from Aaron Welborn (Ruth's brother).
However, I would NEVER, ever claim relationship with one of the 'characters' mentioned, either....I don't even think he's from this country...I think his father or grandfather came over from Germany or somewhere, so I don't count him as being an 'original' American.
President Obama is my 5th cousin twice removed, through George Toot, his 6x great-grandfather, which is my 4x. George owned an Inn, which is now a private home, a few blocks from where I live.
George was born in Pennsylvania in 1759 and was in the Revolutionary War, which means Barack is more American than our current president, since his family only came to America in 1885 and never fought in any war, let alone the war that founded the country.
I am also related to Barack (and Michelle), and George (and Martha), but not the other.
Barack: 11th cousin, once removed
Michelle: 18th cousin, once removed
George: 10th cousin, 6 times removed
Martha: 12th cousin, 5 times removed
Christine, also related to you; we're 16th cousins, twice removed.
All of these are through my Dad's side (whose family seems to be related to nearly everyone, though, thankfully, not trump).
And yes, Marvin, his great grandfather came from Germany - Bavaria, now the Rhineland-Palatinate area, where I have family on both of my parents' sides. So, lucky miss there!
And actually, now that I take a curious peek, looks like I'm related to everyone who has commented. Hi, cousins! :-)
Through my paternal grandmother:
JC, we're 16th cousins, 4 times removed.
Thorsten, we're 26th cousins (as well as being in-laws on my Mom's Father's side - rarely find anyone through her side).
Loretta, we're 16th cousins, once removed.
Through my paternal grandfather:
Billie June, we're 11th cousins, once removed.
Marvin, we're 12th cousins, once removed.
Darlene, we're 12th cousins, once removed.
Frances Marie, we're 16th cousins, twice removed.
Joy, we're 19th cousins, twice removed.
Genealogy is certainly endlessly fascinating!
I used to show an all blue path to all Presidents. Woodrow Wilson line got disconnected from a Wilson...which I helped prove was inaccurate. You can view this in his discussions. I used to show an all blue path to Donald Trump....but his tree lost some limbs. I believe the tree had been accurate, and should be put back together. This was his 12th great grandfather.... John Stewart, 1st Earl of Atholl .
I am blood to all Vice Presidents. I am blood to almost all Signers of the Declaration of Independence.
I need to check all First Ladys….checked a few one time...and I was blood. I am going to add all who I find on my profile.
Gwendolene M Corey, I checked for you.
Gwendolene M Corey is Donald J. Trump, 45th President of the USA's ex-wife's first cousin 6 times removed's wife's sister's husband's wife's fifth great nephew's wife's mother.
I hope you're not disappointed.

I agree. I will always believe that Donald Trump is blood to me. Not that I really, really like him..... nor really, really dislike him. You can't withdraw the blood out of your veins just to eliminate those that you are kin to that you are not proud of. Heck, I have a section on my profile called... "JUST PLAIN CRAZY RELATIVES!!! (Everybody has 'em, ya just don't know it yet) ....". You have to take the BAD with the GOOD!
