Both Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassman were born and died in Germany. German.

Kindly compare my own surname with the surnames Hahn. Straßmann, Meitner, and Frisch! As well as Trump! I'm sure you'll get the picture.

The fuck has your surname got to do with any of this.

Anyways, the first sustained artificial nuclear fission reaction occurred in a reactor called the "atomic pile" beneath a squash court at the University of Chicago overseen by Enrico Fermi and Leo Szilard, an Italian and Hungarian respectively, who came to the US because they couldn't continue their studies under the rigid ideological restrictions placed on scholarship by the Fascist regimes of their home countries, much like the restrictions placed on Western scholarship by the regime currently ruling academia here of inquiry, so we, and our (supposedly Fascistic) Bill of Rights, get the credit.

Neither were American.

"The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the United States Department of Defense funded research into time-sharing of computers in the 1960s.[15][16][17] Meanwhile, research into packet switching, one of the fundamental Internet technologies, started in the work of Paul Baran in the early 1960s and, independently, Donald Davies in 1965

Davies was Welsh. You really think Trump can tell the difference between the world wide web and the internet? Fact is Berners-Lee is the whole reason you're on the internet today

The Scotsman Alexander Graham Bell claimed to have invented the telephone, yet the American Elisha Gray (per Wikipedia) was the discoverer of the principle of an electric wire immersed in liquid contained by a diaphragm. Bell's improvement was the discovery of amplitude modulation as the best current to carry an intelligible signal, yet, at the time, Gray was working in Chicago, and Bell was working in Boston (both within the US!). It may well be that Bell had been working with liquid microphones for three years prior to the 1876 patent race, yet the liquid with which Bell had been working was mercury (which didn't work) while Gray was working with water (which worked!).

"The courts decided priority in favor of Bell and the telephone company he founded. In addition to being constructed differently from the transmitter described and pictured in Gray's caveat, Bell's working liquid transmitter of March 10, 1876 operated in a way that is in fact described in Bell's original patent application, but not in Gray's caveat."

And again, neither of them were American.

And not one of you New Left-types picked up on the fact that the President's reference to the settlement of the Wild West referred to the genocide committed against Native Americans! I definitely call out my President on that point. Why won't you?

Alright, we'll add that America didn't win both World Wars to that as well.

New left-types?! Haha! The fuck is that?

Can we argue more about the facts Trump has played fast and loose with? Lord knows we've thousands to choose from.
