1. Trump is acutely embarrassed by having been born and raised in Queens. I wouldn't be surprised if he harbored similar embarrassment admitting his father was born in the Bronx.

2. Before I read this post, my first thought was he (again) said that his father's family came from Sweden. I heard second-hand that Trump used to go around telling everyone that he was Swedish. (He did it to avoid conflicts with Jewish contractors, etc.) Fact is that he "came out" as German when he was made the Grand Marshall of the annual New York City Steuben Day Parade.
