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.

didn't fred trump get busted at a klan rally in the 20s? i think the trump camp got asked about this once, and they were seriously like "that was a different racist fred trump"

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.”
