(The Borowitz Report)—German Chancellor Angela Merkel demanded that Donald Trump issue a “complete and sincere apology” to the German people, after Trump claimed incorrectly, on Tuesday, that his father was born in Germany.
“Of the many insulting things that Donald Trump could say to the German people, alleging that his father was born here is by far the most hurtful,” she said. “He must take it back at once.”
Merkel said that Germany would consider breaking off diplomatic relations with the U.S. immediately if Trump did not acknowledge “that his father was born somewhere else.”

I think the krauts are much more riled about the US pointing out their new found coziness with Russia.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - In the actual world, there was jibber-jabber that the Germans were salty with the Ambassador there, since he was lecturing them about the natural gas pipeline deal with Russia and about their defense spending. Merkel and Trump are more adversarial right now than just about anywhere (OK, maybe Turkey, but they earned it), much less an ally.

MAJ Ken Landgren Beyond Me Why in the Hell He Would Lie about that when it is so Easily Researched. Only thing that would Make sense is that He Really is going Full Bore Senile, Alzheimers, Dementia. Pretty Much Like Reagan was at the End of His Tenure or He is Not So Subtly Seeking More American Nazi Support.

I'm not a mind reader but my daughter in law is a psychiatrist and my son has a masters degree in psychology. The President wins moments. He is not concerned with the past unless it is a perceived aggrievement. He may not be able to win the future, but he can win the here and now. So he says whatever he thinks wins the moment whether true or not. It is all about winning now
