President Trump incorrectly stated yesterday that his father was born in Germany while criticising European countries' contribution to NATO.
Trump, speaking in the Oval Office, made these statements after manifesting the great “respect for German leader Angela Merkel, despite the frustration she was not giving enough money for the alliance, broadcast Periscope.
The German, to be honest, is not paying enough,” told Trump reporters.
I have great respect for Angela and great respect for the country. My father was born in a great country in Germany, so I feel good about that country. ”
The truth is, the president's father, Fred Trump, was a prominent entrepreneur born in the US Bronx.
