Not sure why you are getting downvoted the founders of the two are literally brothers and Trader Joe’s was the American version of the original Aldi’s.

Because it's a take/explanation that doesn't remotely encompass or explain the cross Atlantic Aldi situation. Aldi Nord and Sud are two separate companies, both of which have different American branches. So calling it "Americanized Aldi" is saying that it's the American version of two different stores, which is extra confusing because one of them is Aldi on both sides of the ocean.
