"My father was born there. (GESTURES TO GERMAN CHANCELLOR) He knows all about my father. My father was born there. So, you know, there are places that you sort of automatically very, very feel warmly about. But the U.K., what they're doing with energy and what they are doing with immigration is horrible."
"President Trump's father Fred Trump was born in the Bronx in New York City, a fact that seems to come and go from Trump's knowledge base. He made the Germany claim during the same 2019 photo op where he repeatedly referenced the oranges of the Mueller investigation."
During a photo opportunity with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz at the White House, President Trump made numerous false claims while discussing international relations. Among his statements, Trump incorrectly asserted that his father was born in Germany, gesturing toward Chancellor Merz while making the claim. Trump's father Fred Trump was actually born in the Bronx in New York City. This misstatement is not new; Trump has made the same false claim about his father's birthplace multiple times across different interviews and public appearances in 2018, 2019, and 2020, suggesting inconsistency in his recollection of basic biographical facts about his own family.
