Chancellor Friedrich Merz not only brought US President Donald Trump a copy of his grandfather’s birth certificate as a guest gift to Washington, but also a golf club with engraved flags in Germany and the USA. The Federal Press Office spread a photo of how Trump tried the racket immediately in front of his desk in the Oval Office of the White House. It is a putter used for the batch.
Trump is a passionate golfer and has already played a round with Finnish President Alexander Stubb on his property in Florida. Since then, the two have a particularly tight connection to each other. Chancellor Merz also occasionally plays golf.
Aviation jacket as a gift for the hobby pilot
Trump returned to the “Flying Machine” of the brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright from 1903 with a aviation jacket and a copy of the patent. Merz has a pilot’s license himself.
In the Oval Office of the White House, the Chancellor initially presented only a copy of a historical birth certificate of Trump’s grandfather Friedrich as a gift on Thursday, who was born in the Palatinate in the Palatinate in 1869 and later emigrated to the USA. “It’s beautiful,” replied Trump. “We’ll hang that.”
