The Apple Doesn't Fall FarA Poem by Bob BFrederick Trump°--we know of him. What about his son Fred-- The father of Donald J, Whose reputation is now widespread?
Fred started out fairly young Building houses and apartments in Queens. Later forming a company, He soon became a man of means.
In 1927 Fred Attended a parade on Memorial Day-- One that just happened to have been Organized by the KKK.
Police arrested Fred, for they Had told him to leave; instead he stayed. Was he an innocent bystander Or a participant at the parade?
1954 proved That controversies weren't disappearing. Fred was investigated For wartime profiteering.
Later tenant Woody Guthrie Accused him of stirring up racial hate. (The Trump family always seems To have something to litigate.)
In 1973 Fred And son Donald faced accusations Of unfair treatment of blacks--in short, Of civil rights violations.
So bad blood between the Trumps And the DOJ has a history. Thus, Donald J's attack On the justice system is not a mystery.
Both sides claimed victory, But father and son hated the fact That they were told to acquaint themselves With the current Fair Housing Act.
(Funny, but we can see a pattern In watching the president's evolution. He also has difficulty Understanding the Constitution.)
Fred suffered from Alzheimer's The final years of his life. What's scary Is the possibility That maybe it's hereditary!
When looking at grandpa, dad, and son, Very few would disagree How they bring to life the saying: The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
