Fascism and white supremacy, runs in the Trump family, by the looks of things...... Hey, 'redneck' is a pejorative term. It did not originate thus: The term characterized farmers having a red neck caused by sunburn from hours working in the fields. A citation from 1893 provides a definition as "poorer inhabitants of the rural districts...men who work in the field, as a matter of course, generally have their skin stained red and burnt by the sun, and especially is this true of the back of their necks" But it quickly became offensive slang. Please stop using it. Thank you. And Fred Trump was released without charges. https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016. Truth is dangerous... especially when it challenges those in power. |

And Fred Trump was released without charges. The power of wealth in action. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |

It's ok to create a klan chapter of over a 150 members in the 40's to discriminate against people of color as long as you're a democrat (senator robert bird) but it's not ok to demonstrate and exercise a right to free speech against communism in the 20's? This is highly off topic here, but there was a whole lot more than 'speech' used against communism the whole way through the 'red scare' Very ugly tactics that affected actual 'reds' and NON-reds alike. #resist |

And Fred Trump was released without charges. And just how wealthy was Fred Trump in 1927, at age 22? Remember, he went into business with his mother in 1923 (at age 18) building houses on an $800 loan. Fred Trump did not appear to be very wealthy at the time, and didn't start getting into trouble with the Govt. over multimillion $ contracts for quite a number of years. Fred Trump didn't make most of his wealth ($250 million to $450 million on his death in 1999) until his son Donald (born 1946) was in High School. In 1918, when Fred Trump's father Frederick died of influenza, Frederick had an estate of only $31,359.00 (a bit less than half a million in 2016 dollars)(1). In 1927, when E Trump & Son was incorporated, it only had $50,000.00 in capital. (per the April 16, 1927 The Daily Star, Queens Borough, Saturday Evening.. Page 16, Article title: "New Concerns Function with Queens Capital", 4th paragraph). (1) While this level of wealth was more than most people had back then, it is hardly to the level of being 'RICH'. https://youtu.be/iY57ErBkFFE #Texit Don't blame me, I voted for Johnson(L) in 2016.

I do feel that is enough (just under (an adjusted) $500,000USD) to make someone qualify as "wealthy". Especially back then. #resist |

Here's a question for all the Trump knockers: What will you say if he succeeds & make America great again? |

Here's a question for all the Trump knockers: I'd say then perhaps we should find which of his ideas worked and stick with them, assuming they are legal ideas... I've said it before and I'll say it again. I challenge Trump and his administration to change my mind about them. #resist |

Well I can't really say yay or nay as I'm not American. What I can do is state my personal opinion. With well over 300,000,000 citizens, the best that could be implemented in 2016 was Trump & Clinton? Out of the 2, I prefer Trump. |

Like Father, Like Son. I see you have yet to join the post truth world where facts no longer matter. Mark is right, he can see the moderator tag against Gary's name, that the rest of us cannot, is our problem. I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that ... |
