Trump Concedes Orlando Shooter Born In US, But His 'Ideas' Were Born Elsewhere

[DonViejo]

Donald Trump conceded Wednesday that the man suspected of killing 49 club-goers this weekend in Orlando, Florida was indeed born in the United States, although Trump said his ideas were "born from someplace else."

Trump said at a rally in Atlanta, Georgia that the number of people entering the United States was "beyond the money."

"Even if you had a small percentage of people coming in thinking like this person, who, again, was born here but, his parents weren't, and his ideas weren't born here," Trump said. "His ideas were born from someplace else."

Trump had suggested the day after the massacre at Orlando's Pulse nightclub that the shooter, identified as 29-year-old Omar Mateen, was born in Afghanistan. Mateen actually was born in New York.

1. It's quite obvious where they were 'born':

In the City of Belgium.

2. So were Trump's ideas born elsewhere

Trump's ideas were born in 1920s and 1930s Germany, Austria, and Italy.

4. I concede that drumpf opens his mouth without thinking.

And that's a dangerous habit for someone who hopes to run a country.

Donnies daddy;
Although both of Trump's parents were born in Germany, Trump told friends and acquaintances for decades after World War II that the family was of Swedish origin. According to his nephew John Walter, "He had a lot of Jewish tenants and it wasn't a good thing to be German in those days."[2] In 1927, Trump was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Jamaica, Queens; he was later released without charges.[3]
