Was Donald Trump’s father a member of the KKK? I don’t know, but after his non-disavowal of David Duke I started asking myself that question. I’m not the only one…
Let’s hope someone is able to vet this allegation.
Basically, Fred Trump was arrested at the site of a massive “brawl” between Klan members and police.
It’s not clear whether he was involved, or simply a bystander, and it’s not clear whether he was a Klan member.
That said, at that point in time, membership in the Klan was much more common, and Fred Trump had no public image to protect, so he could well have been involved.
We may never know for sure, but one thing we DO know is that he is NOT one of the people who repented of their involvement, apologized, and worked against the Klan later in life.
As the article indicates, there was at least one allegation that Fred Trump engaged in discriminatory practices.
There was a move to get Trump’s brand name off Trump International Hotel & Tower here in Vancouver when he did the Muslim border entry ban thing. 8 blocks from my office, I’ve not seen it yet. I’m shallow, I just think we have plenty of nicer sounding names around. I dunno if the “Salish” or “Haida Gwaii” would object to using theirs, they sound nice. We have a tall Shangri-La near the Trump one. that sounds nice.
Well I watched a few of his “you’re fired” programs “The Apprentice”, one of my work colleagues thought he was great. I didn’t agree but admit he has a larger than life TV persona. But as U.S president, please God no.
Japanese English language media outlet sum him up well . .

“Real estate mogul and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is known for his potty mouth, spewing out coarse and abusive words.”
I am by the way a big fan of the T.V comedy series “Arrested Development”, I wonder if Donald J Drumpth is too. Is he modelling his life on the real estate magnate character George Oscar
Bluth, Sr. Or is it all weirdly & strangely coincidental ?
In Season 4 of Arrested Development, the Bluth clan set out to build a wall between the U.S. and Mexico to “keep Mexicans out,” arrested development 2and Lindsay Bluth’s “Put up the wall” speech landed her so much public support that she decided to run for office on the Republican ticket.
All my life I’ve heard that shameless self-promoters are not to be trusted.
I can’t be the only one who was taught that lesson and wonder when an entire nation forgot it.
………..I, am at a loss for words. The man is a walking joke to himself. We couldn’t insultingly parody him any worse than he already does all by himself. If people can’t see what an a** he is, it’s as pointless as trying to re-explain that 2+2 does not equal 3.
When the Roman Republic morphed into the Roman Empire more than 2,000 years ago, true democracy was swapped with a system run by business men directly, and indirectly, connected to the Roman Senate. The Roman population still voted back then but the system was now heavily rigged and not many citizens seemed to have notice the changeover. Jump forward to 2016 and we see a similar situation in the USA with a business man running for the top job.
Trump = WW3

Donald Trump is a narcissist AND psychologically unstable. Hmm, that combination has never been seen before….

Reblogged this on A Green Road Daily News.
