And the only President whose father was arrested at a KKK rally. 1927. Ah, when America was great!
A newspaper article from the time stated that "Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Road, Jamaica, was discharged." This address matched records or Donald Trump's father from the 1930 census. A report in the Long Island Daily Press said all of the arrestees were "berobed marchers." To be fair, other reports said that non-Klan observers were arrested too, for brawling.
So Fred was either a Klansman or was into fighting Klansmen. We''ll never know for sure. The former, though, seems more likely, based on family history.
Post in wake of Donald Trump primary wins reenergizes speculation over whether Trump's father had ties to the white supremacist group.
