From the Fredrick Trump wiki page: "Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trump; 14 March 1869 – 30 May 1918) was a German–American businessman and the patriarch of the Trump family. Born in Kallstadt, in the Kingdom of Bavaria (now in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany), he emigrated to the United States at the age of 16 and started working as a barber."
This must refer to Fred's father. I can't find anything that says Fred wasn't born in 1905 in the Bronx.
Donald Trump's father, Fred, was, in fact, born in the Bronx (not Germany) in 1905. It's not disputable, it's a matter of public record and Donald Trump has acknowledged/written about it in the past.
Donald Trump was either lying today because it fit his topical narrative, or something is really wrong with his cognition.
Either way, I don't see his false statement about his father's birthplace as synonymous with Elizabeth Warren's claims about her Native American heritage. She was told by her family that she had Native American blood (as were many Oklahomans). Without a DNA test, there would be no way to know any differently.
In regards to her parents' birthplaces, on the other hand, it's a matter of public record and birth certificates have been around for centuries. Warren never got her parent's birthplaces wrong, forgot, or lied about it.
