Mary Trump - Like an Albatross
For somebody who is such a prolific liar, Donald is also quite a bad one. You would think that somebody who has as much practice as he’s had would be better at it. You could say the same thing about his golf game.
I was reminded of this earlier today when Donald’s campaign put out a press release in response to the announcement that Paul Dans, the director at the Heritage Foundation of Project 2025, the fascist manifesto for a second Trump administration, is stepping down.
Written by two senior campaign advisors, Chris LaCivita and Susie Wiles, the release read,
“[Donald’s] campaign has been very clear for over a year that Project 2025 had nothing to do with the campaign, did not speak for the campaign and should not be associated with the campaign or the president in any way.

In 1927, Donald Trump’s father was arrested after a Klan riot in Queens
On Memorial Day 1927, brawls erupted in New York led by sympathizers of the Italian fascist movement and the Ku Klux Klan. In the fascist brawl, which took place in the Bronx, two Italian men were killed by anti-fascists. In Queens, 1,000 white-robed Klansmen marched through the Jamaica neighborhood, eventually spurring an all-out brawl in which seven men were arrested.
One of those arrested was Fred Trump of 175-24 Devonshire Rd. in Jamaica.
WaPo has receipts. They carefully traced the identity of the arrestee.
Daddy and Donnie allegedly kept black people out of their apartments. They settled the Federal case.

The Justice Department sued Donald Trump, his father, Fred, and Trump Management in order to obtain a settlement in which Trump and his father would promise not to discriminate. The case eventually was settled two years later after Trump tried to countersue the Justice Department for $100 million for making false statements. Those allegations were dismissed by the court.
"Donald started his career, back in 1973, being sued by the Justice Department for racial discrimination — because he would not rent apartments in one of his developments to African-Americans, and he made sure that the people who worked for him understood that was the policy," Clinton said on Monday night.

The lawsuit was based on evidence gathered by testers for the New York City Human Rights Division, which alleged that black people who went to Trump buildings were told there were no apartments available, while white people were offered units.
We need to be shouting these facts. Actual "fascist" and Klan-adjacent history, and a clear discrimination case.
