10. I really am stunned....

I really had no idea about this. I had heard before the 2016 election that Fred Trump had some "issues" and that there was a 1970s settlement with the government over housing. There was also mention of an arrest at a Klan rally.

This, though, is something else altogether, at least for me. Woody Guthrie is like Bob Dylan, someone whose songs speak to everyone.

I know what "they" say about sins of the father and all that jazz, but surely something like this would resonate, especially with older Americans. If the guy who wrote "This Land Is Your Land" hated this ass so much, that surely means something, especially to independent-thinking folk.
