Donald Trump’s dad was Woody Guthrie’s racist landlord

I suppose
Old Man Trump knows
Just how much
Racial Hate
He stirred up
In the bloodpot of human hearts
When he drawed
That color line
Here at his
Eighteen hundred family project ...

One thought on “Donald Trump’s dad was Woody Guthrie’s racist landlord

    The Woody Guthrie Museum is located here in Tulsa. Went there a couple of months ago mainly to see a Stevie Ray Vaughn exhibit (guitars, amps, pedals, etc. on display) but the main part of the museum is pretty cool – bunch of Woody’s instruments, cartoons, journals, and his handwritten lyrics are there with the focal point being the original “This Land Is Your Land” lyric sheet. The famous “Fascist” guitar isn’t there but I did see a fiddle that he had carved that inscription on. One of Pete Seeger’s banjos with the “This Machine Surrounds Hate and Forces It To Surrender” is also on display. I’ll have to go back there and see if I can find the “Old Man Trump” lyric sheet.
