1927 arrest at KKK march

On Memorial Day in 1927, the Ku Klux Klan marched in Queens to protest "Native-born Protestant Americans" being "assaulted by Roman Catholic police of New York City".[19] Fred was one of seven men arrested that day "on a charge of refusing to disperse from a parade when ordered to do so,"[19] as reported in a New York Times article on June 1, 1927. He shared lawyers with the other men, but "it's conceivable that he may have been an innocent bystander, falsely named, or otherwise the victim of mistaken identity during or following a chaotic event."[20] He was "released without charges", but Vice Magazine noted that the KKK had gone through a revival in urban areas after 1915.[21] All seven men arrested were declared to be wearing Klan attire in one source cited in the Vice article, which noted: "While the Long Island Daily Press doesn't mention Fred Trump specifically ... the article refers to all of the arrestees as 'berobed marchers.' If Fred Trump, or another one of the attendees, wasn't dressed in a robe at the time, that may have been a reporting error worth correcting."[21] When asked about the issue in September 2015 by The New York Times, Donald Trump, then a candidate for presidency of the United States, denied that his father had been arrested or that he had been in the KKK.[22]

1. He was also such a notorious slum lord

That Woody Guthrie wrote a song about him.

2. Wow that's really interesting

and ironic considering he wrote "this land is your land". Also really kind of scary considering how far we have fallen.
