1. Ask him if he knows what day it is and if he knows the name of the president

Standard assessment questions in health care settings.

Dude is reminding me of Reagan confusing his movie roles with real life.

2. You mean he lied about being Swiss?!

[whistler162]

30. Fred and the Donald claimed to be Swedish!

Uff da!

Donald needs to start using his REAL last name, Drumpf.

3. His grandfather, not his father, was born in Germany.

He emigrated to the US, where he operated some brothels. At some point he returned to Germany, but they kicked him out when they discovered he'd left Germany in the first place to avoid conscription. Trump's father, Fred, was born in New York. Fred claimed the family was Swedish on account of widespread anti-German sentiment after WWII, and for some unknown reason Donald continued to claim Swedish ancestry in The Art of the Deal. But now it looks like he's German again.

9. Someone should come up with a Trump's Lies game.

Base it on fact or fiction. The front of the card will make a statement alleged to come from Trump, and you have to determine if it's fact or fiction. The answer and background info will be on the back of the card.

10. The problem would be that Trump almost never tells the truth,

even when there's no apparent reason to lie. So if you guessed fiction you'd probably have something like an 80% chance of guessing correctly.

35. To make it harder, add lies he didn't tell but sound like him.

For example, did Donald Trump publicly claim to beat Jack Nicklaus at golf?

As far I can tell, he didn't, but I can imagine him saying it, so I would guess true.

13. Gramps tried to move back to Germany after he made his fortune trafficing in prostitutes ...

and he was refused entry because of his having left Germany to dodge the draft. Now we know where Trump inherited his phantom bone spurs from.

The US was gramp's second choice.

[mokawanis]

4. I think Trump should move to Germany

it's a pleasant thought. Move to Germany, become a German citizen, and never enter the US again.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

6. And Angela Merkel would be his leader.

[NewJeffCT]

7. I don't think Germany

would want him there

Do not ruin Germany too!!

[smirkymonkey]

5. But I thought they were Swedish???

26. You mean the dementia n/t

[Karadeniz]

11. I can't believe this. His thoughts just skate over his brain, never sinking in.

[marble falls]

12. He meant Neu York Stadtgebiet.

[H2O Man]

14. At least he

had the correct planet.

[marble falls]

15. Are you sure? If he did, it was accidental.

[H2O Man]

17. !!!!

Well done!

[Mc Mike]

18. Born away in a manger, in bavaria. To a jackal.

[Retrograde]

19. Is he senile, stupid, or just

lying out of habit?

[CatMor]

29. I believe the answer is all three.

[malaise]

20. He lies about everything

and anything - damn!

[muriel_volestrangler]

21. (his real father was Adolf Eichmann)

[DFW]

24. I'd be tempted to believe you, except......

Why does he keep acting like Kolonel Klink?

[DesertRat]

22. Show us the birth certificate. nt

[moondust]

23. 25th Amendment. Period. n/t

[DFW]

25. Rats. Now it's too late. Someone will have told him.

I was just WAITING for someone to ask him the name of that wonderful place in Germany where his father was born.

It was either a place with a simple name like Nirgendwo, or else one of those long German names like Ichbineinarschloch.

28. Really?

Trump ist ein lügendes Arschloch.
