Fred Trump was no angel, but he helped birth the devil.

To read the history of Fred Trump, essentially a hard working blue collar crook with money and a relentless vision, and his children, the lazyass lying beneficiaries of that work, tax avoidance schemes and fraud is to read the story of American Corruption.

Then as a grand finale of corruption and betrayal the surviving crime family children sold off their father's one man, one generation created empire, the very thing he beeseched them all not to do, and split the proceeds! Each setting off to create their own crime families to repeat Fred's frauds and avoidances.

But Don was the star, only Don the Con had the charisma, and only he inherited the viciousness and Hobbesian anti-government attitude and penchant for unapologetic corruption.

The rotten apples did not fall far from the rotting tree.

Now we are all being pelted by the corrupt fruit of Fred Trump.

Please make it end...someone? Voters?
