Why do people refer to Donald Trump by the old German form of his last name, Drumpf?

First off, I'm not a Republican, Democrat or Trump supporter. Here's what I think is wrong with it:

1) Drumpf is not his real last name.

2) He's got German roots, so what? Does having a German last name automatically make him bad?

3) He's not Hitler. He's not going to invade an entire continent, cause any wars, or create any holocausts.

The only reason I can think of is that stupid people are reaching to create Hitler comparisons out of something silly like a last name. What's the real reason?

    Because Sanders supporters are racist hypocrites.. They think it's funny to mock a funny sounding last name (so long as that person is white)

    " And most comparisons are to Mussilini, who he strongly resembles in many ways"

    -He doesn't resemble Mussolini in any way, shape or form.

    No one has said he's bad because he's German.

    He's a total egomaniac, and a big baby about everything, so people who reject his hate-mongering do it to annoy him.

    You don't know that he wouldn't start wars. That's exactly the sort of thing he would love to do.

    No, the Hitler comparisons have nothing to do with his ancestry. And most comparisons are to Mussilini, who he strongly resembles in many ways, and has even quoted.

    His campaign is based on hyping his followers into frenzies of hatred toward billions of people, and mindless calls to "win." He has repeatedly urged his followers to engage in violence, and brags constantly about the violence, even mass murder he's eager to commit, if elected.

    The people who condemn, or make fun of him aren't the stupid ones. Anyone who can't see what a psychopathic monstrosity he is lacks any brain and lacks any humanity.
