Donald Trumps Past Comes Back To Haunt Him, This Could Be The End Ever since Donald Trump took the lead of the GOP polls, liberals and Republicans alike have been trying anything to take him down. In the most recent attack, a New York Times story from 1927 resurfaced, suggesting that Fred Trump (Donalds father) was arrested during a Ku Klux Klan riot. The article lists Fred as one of several taken into custody during a free-for-all between police and 1,000 klansman. The article was first discovered by Boing Boing , who clarified that the article does not necessarily indicate that Trumps father was a member of the organization. Rather, Fred was arrested in the near-riot of the parade but was quickly discharged. It is likely he was simply a common bystander. The incident occurred years before Fred became a self-made millionaire. Trump has denied the incident, calling the story ridiculous. He was never arrested, Trump claimed. He has nothing to do with this. This never happened. Its a completely false, ridiculous story, Trump continued. Thinkif it had, he would never have been able to get licenses in New York for anything associated with his business, with construction. This is just bizarre and untrue. What do you think? Could the name in the story just be a coincidence, or is Trump hiding something?
