      If it’s just the last name, you can go back further.

      Fred Trump was so famously racist, Woody Guthrie had already written a song about him in 1954.

          Fuck me, I did not know that!

          In 1927, Trump was arrested at a Ku Klux Klan demonstration, but there is no conclusive evidence that he supported the organization.

          Oh sure, just at a Klan rally as a social call.

          And yep, according to the details on Twitter, Donald confirmed it and then said “nah, must have been another Fred Trump who lived at that same address.”
