      7 people were arrested at the KKK rally - including Fred Trump. This clipping from the Long Island Daily Press, June 2, 1927 states that ALL SEVEN who were arrested were KKK members who each had on KKK hoods and robes. Fred Trump was a member of the KKK.pic.twitter.com/TmGR2r0wIn

      Did you know that in 1950, the famous songwriter Woody Guthrie wrote a lyric about @realDonaldTrump's father, Fred, saying that he stirs up RACIST HATE for profit. I kid you not. OLD RACISTS. Here's the lyric. Here's the background on the song: https://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2016/01/25/woody-guthrie-sang-of-his-contempt-for-his-landlord-donald-trumps-father/ …pic.twitter.com/rmf43nQt5w

          The trump’s are very evil people. It’s definitely in the blood on his father’s side.

          Like father, like son. Plus not one Trump has ever served. All they've done since coming to this country is rip people off and behave morally repugnant. This family is pure bile and poison. It's in their blood. They like a cancer on society.

          Yes, I did know this. The song circulated a bit before the election, apparently wasn’t enough to overpower collusion/suppression

          I guess that was before the Fred Trump development. BTW, Jeff Tweedy [Wilco], Billy Bragg & Natalie Merchant recorded Woody Guthrie poems they set to music =CD. Maybe record this 1950 Trump lyric!
