127 Thomas Kaplan, “Woody Guthrie Wrote of His Contempt
For His Landlord, Donald Trump’s Father,” The New York
Times (Jan. 25, 2016). Guthrie really hated Trump and wrote
multiple sets of lyrics about him. Another song contained
the line: “Well, well, Trump, you made a tramp out of me,
You charge me so much it just ain’t human…” In a letter to
a friend, Guthrie wrote: “In addition to not being able to
enjoy one single day of normal or natural life in Mr. Trump’s
project of buildings here on [account] of about ninety and
nine clauses in his damnable old tenant’s contract, I find out
that I’m dwelling in the deadly center of a Jim Crow town
where no negroid families yet are allowed to move in and
to live freelike.” Guthrie’s words simultaneously support the
federal government’s position that the Trumps deliberately
excluded blacks from renting their units and also suggest that
Fred Trump was one of the world’s worst landlords. (And the
world is full of bad landlords.) See “Woody Guthrie Whacks
‘Old Man Trump’ Again In Another Recently-Discovered
Song,” Raw Story (Sept. 6, 2016).
