Click here for the article in Vanity Fair by Graydon Carter entitled "Donald Trump: The Ugly American." Carter has had a 30-year-plus (deteriorating) relationship with Donald Trump, and his story makes very interesting reading.
4.5-minute video: Trump v. Political Correctness
Here are the lyrics to "Old Man Trump" -- Woody Guthrie was a tenant in one of "Old Man Trump's" apartment blocks, Beach Haven, when Donald's father Fred (Old Man Trump) was sued for racially discriminating in his anti-black rental policies:
I suppose that Old Man Trump knows just how much racial hate
He stirred up in that bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed that color line
Here at his Beach Haven family project
Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!
I'm calling out my welcome to you and your man both
Welcoming you here to Beach Haven
To love in any way you please and to have some kind of a decent place
To have your kids raised up in.
Beach Haven ain't my home!
No, I just can't pay this rent!
My money's down the drain,
And my soul is badly bent!
Beach Haven is Trump’s Tower
Where no black folks come to roam,
No, no, Old Man Trump!
Old Beach Haven ain't my home!
