Trump said his father was born in Germany.
He misspoke, but obviously meant he’s father has German ancestry.
Pretty sure this is Obama’s point too.
But one gets a thread made about it, the other ignored.

Obama is definitely from Kenya....his own words
That's certainly debatable and at the end of the day not as relevant as the fact that he is definitely anti-American, anti-Constitutional and a hyper-racist.
That is Obamas legacy.
Qualifications for the Office of President Age and Citizenship requirements - US Constitution, Article II, Section 1 No person except a natural born citizen, or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that office who shall not have attained to the age of thirty-five years, and been fourteen years a resident within the United States.
To be a Senator or Representative, you must be a citizen of the United States. To be President, not only must you be a citizen, but you must also be natural-born.
Consensus exists that anyone born on U.S. soil and subject to its jurisdiction is a natural born citizen, regardless of parental citizenship. See United States v. Wong Kim Ark; 14th Amendment. The Supreme Court noted in Perkins v. Elg that this is true even of citizens who were born in the United States yet grew up in foreign countries.
There is some debate over whether or not one may also be a natural born citizen if, despite a birth on foreign soil, U.S. citizenship immediately passes from the person's parents.

Of course it doesn’t.
You’re a trump supporter, logic and reality is completely different for you.

If you’re trying to make me feel bad, it won’t work.
I hate Trump supporters.
I’m indifferent to Trump.
Believe it or not, the two are actually mutually exclusive.
