Donald Trump reacted with fury today as a newspaper report from 1927 surfaced and appeared to suggest his father was arrested during a KKK riot in 1927.
A New York Times story from 1927 lists a 'Fred Trump' as one of the people taken in during a 'free-for-all' battle between police and 1,000 members of the Ku Klux Klan.
The address in the article also matches that of Trump's father in Queens.

1927?!?!?! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Really scraping the bottom of the barrel now.
Why are you shocked? By the wsy, I don’t think what Trump’s father did in 1927 has any relevance to today.
WTF, how is this even close to relevant about ANYTHING. We are not guilty of the sins of our fathers. PERIOD.
They are throwing everything and the kitchen sink now. But Trump had to know this was coming.
I’m not a big Trump fan, but this is rubbish.
Now he will get more of the democrat vote.
Sure.
Would an arrest that did not produce a conviction have barred one from a business license, even back then?
In today’s rabid atmosphere, Trump should have expected to hear about this. But if this is the worst thing they can find on Trump it is a non story. Much more concerning is his lackadaisical attitude on the Kim Davis matter.
“1927?!?!?!”
Yikes! That’s back even before Herbert Hoover was elected and caused the Great Depression! /sarcasm;)
Not sure this is a genie a lot of Dems want out of the bottle.
Al Gore’s Dad was one of the worse segregationists in the Senate. Joe Kennedy Sr was recalled as Ambassador to the UK for being a Nazi Sympathizer.
That’s before FDR went on television in 1929 after the stock market crashed.
Obama’s father was a wife beater, polygamist, and a communist. Are people concerned about that?
It could have been worse... and the libs can’t try this trick twice because Donald will say well suppose he did, though I have it on good information he didn’t, and even the news says he never was convicted of a crime... I ain’t running on a Fred Trump platform. I am running on a Donald Trump platform.
And don’t even get started on Prescott Bush.
The point isn’t “Be fair.” The point is “Upset Trump.”
I was just thinking about Joe and his love of the Nazi regime.
Even the Queen got nailed on this one with her giving the Nazi salute as a child.
Trumps father was a liberal too..
Dems don’t CARE about that genie. They were the folks who gave us the Confederate flag and can now hoot it right back down, without even a mea culpa on their part!
They are magic.
