German Chancellor presents gilt-framed copy of Donald Trump's grandfather's birth certificate
Does it say Drumpf?
Edit: Actually for real though, second name from the bottom? My eyes are weedy.
Didn’t that turn out to not be true?
Hmm.
Seems legit according to Wikipedia:
According to biographer Gwenda Blair, the family descended from an itinerant lawyer, Hanns Drumpf, who settled in Kallstadt, a village in the Electoral Palatinate of the Holy Roman Empire, in 1608, and whose descendants changed their name from Drumpf to Trump during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648).[31] The last name Trump is on record in Kallstadt since the 18th century.[32] Journalist Kate Connolly, visiting Kallstadt, found several variations in spelling of the surname in the village archives, including Drumb, Tromb, Tromp, Trum, Trumpff, and Dromb.[33]
But also way earlier than relevant or than I thought.
Drumb tho.
Sure seems like some trolling to me.
I'm not sure about that:
Merz has focused on economic, foreign, security, and family policies. He is seen as a representative of the pro-business wings of the CDU.[15] He is viewed as an economic liberal who makes some concessions to conservative party members who stress the need for social engagement. Merz embraces some conservative social policies regarding families, although the Berliner Morgenpost says he is not as "dogmatic" as in his early polticial career.[116] He is associated with neoliberalism.[117]
As a young politician in the 1970s and 1980s, he was a staunch supporter of anti-communism, the dominant state doctrine of West Germany and a core tenet of the CDU. His book Mehr Kapitalismus wagen (transl: Venturing More Capitalism) advocates economic liberalism.

Yeah no. Merz is a Trump fanboy and a closeted nazi pig.
I think nazi pig is a slight exaggeration. I'd call him a nazi sympathiser.
Full marks on Trump fanboi though.
Wasn't he forbidden to return due to skipping compulsory military service?
I thought that's why he started the illegal white house in Alaska, then Trump's dad took that money to NYC.
Ouch, right in the Reich!
Geld?
Loooooooooool. Peak German humor.
I see you know nothing of our Friedrich Merz.
But still: great even if involuntary.
Drumpf
