The nice German town in which Donald's dad Fred was born.

Maybe an executive order will declare this as German sovereign territory.

Not so quick there Germany, we have to figure this out first.

1) Does the U.S. still care about the Monroe Doctrine? I don't know. Maybe we should ask chief Presidential advisor Shawn Hannity. If yes then we'll have to wait for DJ Trump to walk it back.

2) If Monroe Doctrine is to be trashed then you may have competition. Jonas Bronck was Swedish, so possible claim by Sweden. But he leased from Dutch West India Company, so possible claim by Netherlands.

3) Many claims. Maybe DJ Trump will have to settle the dispute by ordering the U.S. Treasury Dept to purchase the whole Borough to be gifted to the Trump family as a memorial park, Fred Trump Memorial German Theme Park, all accommodations and concessions to be Trump Organization controlled and contracted.

4) DJ Trump will probably need another LLC or 50 to manage it.

For crying out loud... The man stumbled over the word origins. He just couldn't spit it out.
Enough with the excuses about oranges. He was not saying oranges. He was trying to say origins and just couldn't.

Swedish, according to DJ Trump in Art of the Deal

“In the 1940s, people, especially in the real estate industry in New York, didn't want to hear that somebody was German — so let's get rid of that. Let's be Swedish,” Gwenda Blair said in an inteview with Inside Edition.

According to the New York Times, Donald Trump even asked his father why he had to keep the lie going at the time of writing Trump: the Art of the Deal.
…
The true story is that Trump's grandparents on his father's side came to America from the German town of Kallstadt in 1905. On his mother's side, Trump's ancestry is Scottish.

"I don't believe there's any Swedish ancestry whatsoever," biographer Gwenda Blair said.
Donald Trump claimed he was of Swedish ancestry - but it's a lie

Here's the quote from the book:

I learned at my father’s side.

His story is classic Horatio Alger. Fred Trump was
born in New Jersey in 1905, His father, who came
here from Sweden as a child, owned a moderately
successful restaurant, but he was also a hard liver and
a hard drinker, and he died when my father was eleven
years old.

Wait a sec! New Jersey? What about the Bronx?

Oh ha ha ha Phag said oranges when it mean origins. Who who ha ha ha oh gosh that's a hoot.
