"That country, the U.K., and I love that country. My mother was born there, I love it. My mother was born there, my father was born. He knows all about my father, my father was born there. So, you know, there are places you automatically feel very warmly about."
"Former Chicago Tribune editor Mark Jacob noted that Trump may have been referring to his grandfather, Frederick Trump, who was born in Bavaria in 1869. Frederick Trump immigrated to the U.S. in 1885."
During a conversation with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in the Oval Office, Trump claimed his father was born in Germany, stating he feels warmth toward countries where his parents were born. However, Trump's father was born in the Bronx in 1905. Former Chicago Tribune editor Mark Jacob suggested Trump may have confused his father with his grandfather, Frederick Trump, who was born in Bavaria in 1869 and immigrated to the United States in 1885. This incident adds to a pattern of Trump's verbal missteps, including previously forgetting the word for Alzheimer's disease.
