Trump's dad lied about his heritage to benefit his business: Report
The Trumps have a "Pocahontas" chapter of their own.
On Monday, President Trump again used his "Pocahontas" epithet on Sen. Elizabeth Warren, reviving charges that Warren claimed to be Native American for professional benefit, while a resurfaced report showed that Trump's father lied about his heritage for financial gain.
On July 16, the Boston Globe reported that Fred Trump concealed his family's origins to boost his real-estate business:
The family hid its German heritage, in large part because Fred Trump was trying to sell apartments, often to Jewish tenants, in the aftermath of World War II.
“He said, ‘You don’t sell apartments after the war if you’re German,’ ” John Walter, a family historian and one of Donald Trump’s cousins, said in an interview. “So he’s Swedish, no problem.”

We have the intellect to imagine the finality of our own demise but do not have the sophistication to overcome our survival instinct and accept it.
Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.
