Confused Trump, 79, Forgets What Country His Father Was Born in

[Zorro]

Fred Trump’s origins seem to be something of a mystery to his son.

President Donald Trump mixed up where his own father was born during an Oval Office photo op with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz.

The 79-year-old said his father was born in Germany as he fielded questions from reporters on his unauthorized war with Iran.

“My father was born,” Trump said while gesturing towards Merz. “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,” Trump added.

In fact, the president’s father, Frederick Trump Jr., was born in the Bronx in New York City in 1905. It was his father’s parents — Trump’s grandparents — who were born in what was then the German Empire, specifically in the Kingdom of Bavaria.
