          Thiel was also raised in South Africa, during apartheid, and was schoolmates with a lot of… shall we say… german speaking individuals

            You know I’m beginning to think this apartheid thing might have been a bad influence.

      So barely being connected to Germany counts as being “produced” by it?

      Hitler was born in Austria to Austrian parents and was raised in Germany, sure. You can blame his German upbringing.

      But Trump was born in New York. So was his dad. And his mom is from Scotland.

      Thiel was born in Germany but his family moved in South Africa when he was an infant and then moved again to the US before he was a teen.
