Dan T. Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Donald Trump has often talked about the influence of his father in his life. And he has brought on Steve Bannon as a top advisor. As a young man of 21, Fred Trump, Donald Trump's father, was arrested with 6 others at a Ku Klux Klan rally in 1927. All available evidence points to him being an active participant in the Klan rally. That was a long time ago. When, in 2016, Donald Trump was asked about the long-ago incident he, of course, lied about it, saying it didn't happen. Fred Trump went on to amass a fortune as a New York real estate developer, where he faced numerous claims of racial discrimination at his properties, claims that son Donald faced years later as well. Like father like son, apparently.

ExoDus84 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Trump, on a personal level, is just a giant pile of dog **** fermenting in the Alabama heat. We should just start a thread titled "Trump the Dog **** Man" and put all stories like this in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TradeTheBeal! Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 No way that a man so closely connected to the KKK could deliver such a stirring tribute to Martin Luther King at the inception of Black History Month. The passion in these words is just too real... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the part "you read all about Martin Luther King a week ago when somebody said I took his statue out of my office" as if we suddenly learned about some black guy from the 60s just last week.

TheGreatBuzz Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Two reasons I feel this is a non story. One, it was brought up during the election. It has been discussed. Two, my dad, while I loved him and he taught me a lot of things, was a good bit racist. I don't won't to be judged by what he said/did. lets just judge trump for trump. Something about the sins of the father....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finding a saying to match a narrative is easy. Care to explain why my actual point is wrong? (Be forewarned I'm prepared to give numerous examples of people with asshole fathers that grew into good people and vice versa) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
