From the sprinkler to the tree 

From the egg to the market 

From the frying pan to the incubator 

From the heart to head 

From tongue to blog to dust bunny 

From where I asked your papers 

From sunshine to sneeze ach du  




"Donald Trump wrongly claims his father was born in Germany – again" 



"Me have great respect for the country,” said Trump. 

 “My father is German, 

 was German,  

born in a very wonderful place in Germany 

 so I have a very great feeling for Germany.”


"Trump’s father, Fred Trump, was born in New York. Trump’s grandfather, Friedrich Trump, was born in the German village of Kallstadt."
