For my 104th entry in the Steemit Open Mic run by @luzcypher I have an old protest song by the late, great Woody Guthrie. I had heard about this song that he wrote when he was a tennant in an appartment owned by Fred Trump, father of the current US President. It seems Fred was operating racist policies about who could live there. I'm not sure Woody actually recorded this song, but others have performed it based on his written lyrics.
I am no fun of Trump junior and am not keen on the clone who is now in charge here in the UK. Any racist leader is dangerous, especially in a multi-racial country. Even in the UK a lot of people couple be traced back to immigrants of some sort if you go back far enough.
I am inclined to write more political songs of my own.
Rock on!

Very nice! I am not a fan either. That is pretty interesting the history of the song though. Isn't it funny how things like that come to the light? Great job!

I am sure Donald would prefer this song were forgotten as he hates any sort of criticism. I don't expect he will get to hear my rendition.
