Analysis: Trump’s 10 most absurd claims
By Aaron Blake Aaron Blake Senior political reporter, writing for The Fix Email Bio Follow April 3 at 4:13 PM President Trump said Tuesday that his father was born in Germany, which is not true. This would have been chalked up to a slip of the tongue … except that it is the third time he has said this. So I promptly declared that, among Trump’s most bizarre claims, “this one may take the cake.
9. Global warming is a Chinese hoax. The claim: “The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.” 7. Wind farms cause cancer. The claim: “If you have a windmill anywhere near your house, congratulations, your house just went down 75 percent in value. And they say the noise causes cancer. You tell me that one, okay?”
5. His father was born in Germany. The claim: “My father is German — was German. Born in a very wonderful place in Germany, so I have a great feeling for Germany.” 3. Foul play in Antonin Scalia’s death. The claim: Within days of the Supreme Court justice’s 2016 death, Trump told conservative talker Michael Savage, “I’m hearing it’s a big topic. It’s a horrible topic but they’re saying they found the pillow on his face, which is a pretty unusual place to find a pillow.” He added: “I can’t give you an answer. It’s just starting to come out now.”
