When Trump celebrates “heritage” I think we know what he’s referring to:
The rumor is that Trump’s father was arrested at a KKK parade in New York in 1927. (The heyday of the Klan in the 20th century.) This fact check says it’s impossible to prove that Trump was a member and he might have been an innocent bystander, but this certainly makes you wonder:
“A contemporaneous article from the Daily Star notes that Trump was detained ‘on a charge of refusing to disperse from a parade when ordered to do so.'”
I suspect the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
