I think that Trump is using a taunt he surely learned when he was young. He spoke without any regard that ~60 years or so have passed and he's on an entirely different continent.
Surely projection, since his father grew up speaking German. The “Drumpf” liberal meme is silly but it is worth noting that Trump is very much a second generation immigrant. I am sure some of his cartoonish American chauvinism is due to being raised in a household headed by an embarrassed German immigrant.
How could I overlook that basic thing? For Trump shame and embarrassment - on his terms of course - are fundamental for his POV and in how he acts.
