Trump ignites cognitive health concerns after mixing up his father's birthplace
President Donald Trump stirred renewed concerns about his mental acuity on Tuesday when he confused his father's birthplace during a White House meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz. Trump stated his father was born in Germany, when actually Fred Trump was born in the Bronx in 1905. Trump's grandfather, Frederick Trump, was born in Bavaria in 1869 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1885. Recent polling shows six in 10 Americans, including 30 percent of Republicans, believe Trump has become erratic with age.
