Donald Trump wrongly claims his father was born in Germany – again

President made the claim about his New York-born father, Fred Trump, during a press conference with the Nato secretary general

Donald Trump has wrongly claimed his father was born in Germany, again, during a press conference with the Nato secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg.

Trump made the claim while criticizing Germany’s chancellor, Angela Merkel, whose country, the president said, “was not paying their fair share” toward the military alliance.

“I have great respect for Angela and I have great respect for the country,” said Trump. “My father is German, was German, born in a very wonderful place in Germany so I have a very great feeling for Germany.”

Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was born in New York. Trump’s grandfather, Friedrich Trump, was born in the German village of Kallstadt.

According to a German historian, Friedrich Trump immigrated to the US in 1885, escaping poverty and allegedly catering to miners during the Gold Rush in the western US. He returned to Germany in 1901, fell in love with Elisabeth Christ. The two married and returned to the US.

Friedrich attempted to return to Germany in 1905 when Christ became homesick, but was ejected from Germany and ordered not to return after it became apparent he failed to perform mandatory military service. The couple returned to the US on a ship bound for Pennsylvania. Christ was three months pregnant with Fred at the time. Their son was born in New York City.

Never mind Donny where were you born tiddums? Like father like son.

Trump news – live: Congress votes to subpoena full Mueller report from attorney-general, as senior Republicans turn on president's 'catastrophic' border closure plan

The House Judiciary Committee has voted 24-17 in favour of chairman Jerrold Nadler's resolution to prise the full Mueller report into Donald Trump's relations with Russia away from William Barr with a subpoena, a day after the attorney-general missed a Democratic deadline to hand over the FBI special counsel’s findings unabridged.

President Trump is meanwhile being urged not to follow through on his threat to close the US border with Mexico as senior Republicans warn of the cost of prioritising security over trade and scramble for alternatives to tackling the illegal immigration “crisis”.

“Closing down the border would have potentially catastrophic economic impact on our country and I would hope we would not be doing that sort of thing,” said Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday, a quote the president has since attacked The New York Times for publishing on Twitter.

Not your day Donny.

Nah, they would have been leaked by now. They don't exist.

The whole point of kompromat is leverage.

So, who thinks the Russians have tapes on Trump, and they are blackmailing him with them now?

Who thinks the Russians have tapes on Trump, and they are saving them for a rainy day?

For both - what "evidence" is your conclusion based on?

And which one of us worked in the industry 30 years?

Disagree entirely. This is a policy and nothing to do with drug manufacture on a small scale but there you go again.
I will keep the subject where I want it thank you.

So you claim a single technician at some small time lab mixing a batch of formulation is more reliable than an entire department of operators, chemists engineers and a microbiologist at a big pharma or at least medium pharma. Got it.

Where did I claim one technician at a small time lab? Never said anything like it. I was talking about hospitals who have massive labs. Sorry but that was a misunderstanding not on my part.

OK, enormous labs (labs are not that big) in Dutch hospitals provide dedicated cGMP facilities for production of small scale drugs, with all the crew required by EU standards (same as FDA) standards, without contaminating with other products made in the same labs. Fully validated process.

Evidence Russia filmed an American businessman who had already tried to run for president once before? Evidence the video is not flattering, see Trump.

What are you guys even arguing about? That compounding pharmacies exist? News flash: they do, and they're not unusual.

[Forty Two]

Evidence Russia filmed an American businessman who had already tried to run for president once before? Evidence the video is not flattering, see Trump.

Yes. Are you aware of that evidence?

Or do you think they film all businessmen (but not politicians?) when they travel to Russia?

Bernie is on film shirtless in the Soviet Union, toasting his comrades. But, that's another story....

[Sean Hayden]

--awesome, I haven't seen that video!

I'm just assuming the Russians spied on Trump. I'm not going to bet my life on it or anything.

This fucking moron president. Incredible.

Mueller probe with Barr spin did not resolve things for voters.

I don’t know why. I once heard Trump on the Howard Stern show. It was clear from the first words Trump ever spoke that he was a bigger asshole than Strern. About half the time shock jock Stern was entertaining.

Now Trump is a senile asshole. By 2020 election he will need a full time tweeting assistant.

There is nothing wrong with there being a resistance. That's freedom and liberty. But, if you're going to be a news reporter, then you ought act like one, not a member of a political activist group.

Indeed - Hannity is in the GOP pocket.

It says 'FOX NEWS' there, not 'HANNITY HAS AN OPINION CHANNEL'. You're point is refuted as irrelevant unless you're going to argue that FOX NEWS and its parent company aren't news organisations.

First inklings that at least some members of the Mueller team do not agree with Barr's characterisation of the contents of the report.

'Some on Mueller’s Team See Their Findings as More Damaging for Trump Than Barr Revealed'

Some of Robert S. Mueller III’s investigators have told associates that Attorney General William P. Barr failed to adequately portray the findings of their inquiry and that they were more troubling for President Trump than Mr. Barr indicated, according to government officials and others familiar with their simmering frustrations.

At stake in the dispute — the first evidence of tension between Mr. Barr and the special counsel’s office — is who shapes the public’s initial understanding of one of the most consequential government investigations in American history. Some members of Mr. Mueller’s team are concerned that, because Mr. Barr created the first narrative of the special counsel’s findings, Americans’ views will have hardened before the investigation’s conclusions become public.

Yeah, yeah, 'anonymous sources!!'

"Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk." - H.D. Thoreau

I'd say Sean's circumstantial case is as strong as yours for the FBI tipping off CNN when they busted Roger Stone. After all, the Steele dossier cited 3 anonymous sources for the kompromat story.

That's good enough for the NY Times and WAPO, and given the weak tea you served up on the CNN thing, ought to be good enough for you.
