A few months before his death, John F. Kennedy famously said he was proud to be a doughnut. Or... did he?

And then this "Fun Fact" ends up in a history schoolbook. I'd be shocked if it was the first time

In Berlin, the only correct meaning of Berliner is a citizen of Berlin – period.

I, a German Native, would say the sentence itself can mean both but from the context it becomes clear what is meant

he could have added "ich bin ein Amerikaner" Amerikaner can mean another type of donut in German

It can be both so you could joke about it but it’s quite obvious from the context that he didn’t mean the jelly donut. When someone says „Ich bin ein Frankfurter/Hamburger“ people hopefully wouldn’t bite them either.

I'd be like someone saying, "I'm Danish," and interpreting that as the person saying they're a pastry

...in Denmark, the pastry the US calls "Danish" is called WienerbrĂžt (a Viennese). In Vienna, it's called Kopenhagener Plunder (Copenhagen Plunder). Nobody seems to want to take credit! :) :)

the part "You should not even believe what you read in books....", is exactly the kind of literature I like... examples; "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" ( D. Adams ) and "Colour of Magic" ( T. Pratchet )....

You say »Berliner(in)« as an answer to a citizen of which city you are, but »ein(e) Berliner(in)« when referring of yourself as part of a city's population, which was exactly what JFK wanted to do here, so he was right in every sense.

As a german I never thought of him meaning jelly donut

It's still not grammatically wrong. It's even the right way to say it.

Yeah, but “I am a jelly doughnut” is so much funnier

Ever since I first heard that story, I wondered about it. I took German in school, but didn't finish the semester, so I hadn't learned enough to judge...but it seemed like he'd said it right. Now I wonder just when it was I first heard the story...I mean, obviously I spent those twenty years not having heard it, first, then at some point after the book was published... Well, thanks for clearing that up.

Besides, the name Berliner for a pastry varies from place to place to what it is. It could be "Schribben" as the Berlin style bread rolls to a jelly donut to a flat piece of glaced large cookie. You can say that about Frankfurter (person from either Frankfurt Oder or Main - or a sausage), Wiener (sausage as well), Thuringian (yes, me - or a sausage), it doesn't matter. "ein [word]-er" just means one of that kind. Besides, that's in principle where the word Deutsche(r) comes from. It means one of (us) people. So, narrowed down to a tribe, region, or city is absolutely grammatically correct. "ein" is just a specifier for emphasis. In this case, "Ich bin Berliner" would not put the emphasis on as needed. It would be akin to "I live or was born in Berlin." The "ein" makes it "I am one of you / I stand with you." because it literally states "I am ONE OF the Berliners."

I'd even go as far as saying that "Ich bin Berliner" would sound incorrect (at least to me) since he's not actually a resident of Berlin

😂 him saying that he is a jelly donut is literally in my history books In school

I've been curious where Deighton picked this up. Berlin Game is the best of the Bernard Samson spy novels and Samson is generally a reliable narrator. Moreover, while he is British, Samson grew up in postwar Berlin, spoke flawless Berliner German, and his closest friend was a Berliner. The conversation was with his superior, Frank, who was also an old-time Berlin hand.

Another Fun fact: he wrote this sentence down on a register card, the way he would pronounce it („isch been een bearlineer“ or something like that). Today, that resister card is on display to the public at the museum „Haus der Geschichte“ („House of History“) in Bonn :)

And that was the reason for his immense popularty, the people of the then divided city and country felt hope. When he was killed on 22 november1963 , Germany also was in shock just like 9/11/2001
