Absolute speculation.
More likely, it's because "Drumpf" was too Germanic and the family was trying to avoid this exact kind of ribbing.
And let's be honest - it's implicit here that the word "Drumpf" itself is funny. Why? Because it sounds funny to the Anglo ear. It even looks funny. It's like laughing at the surname "Wang."

You're not like, arguing with Trump.
You probably really trying to convince your fellow citizens not to vote for him. I haven't made a decision, and will probably sit this election out unless I hear something compelling, but I just immediately tune out anyone saying "Drumpf," "repug," or "Obummer." ymmv.
