Former New York Times reporter David Cay Johnston has forged a nice little late-in-life career as one of America's most vitriolic Trump haters. He's written a Trump-hating book, It’s Even Worse Than You Think, and he regularly pops up on MSNBC whenever a dose of anti-Trump venom is desired.
Appearing on today's AM Joy, Johnston reached back in history to slur the President, claiming that his grandfather, Friedrich Trump, built the first Trump fortune by "running whorehouses."
That is a claim that is unverified at best. Gwenda Blair wrote the most definitive biography of the Trump family. And as per this Washington Post article, Blair "was careful not to say that Trump ran brothels. I think we don’t quite know that.”
In 2015, the liberals at Snopes.com addressed the question: "Did Donald Trump’s Grandfather Make His Fortune in Prostitution?" Snopes ruled: "Mostly False."

Looks like he’s hiding a whole flock of chickens behind his belt.
Listen, he’s a nice person, he’s very articulate …but he couldn’t sell watermelons if it, you gave him the state troopers to flag down the traffic.’

He’s dead, David.
>>>Even if true, and I’m not granting it is, so what? JFK’s Dad was a rum-runner and that never hurt the sainted Kennedys.

You forgot anti-American Nazi sympathizer.
I think that’s true.
Is it supposed to mean something?
Well good for him.
Someone had to put those women to work.
Blog Pimpery.

Yep. I looked at his recent posts and they’re all posting threads linking to his blog or commenting on those threads.
For this particular thread perhaps BLOG BROTHELERY would be more descriptive.
It’s Satanically false.
The web site yated.com has an article ‘Trump’s Shul’ featuring Rabbi Shmuel Wagner’s recollection of Fred Trump as a God-fearing and generous man.
Finding a hole that customers demand and providing a filling has always been the secret of business success.
I'm more than willing to expand the scope of my objections...

Whorehouses. I see. Well if that isn’t grounds for impeachment I don’t know what is.
Awesome! I hope he cracked them on the ass when they didn’t act right.
How does Trump’s grandfather 100 years ago affect how I should view Trump?
Meh. If you owned a hotel during the Gold Rush, your clientele included many whores and their tricks. Nothing much you could do about it, or had to do about it.
Oh please dont mention Joseph Kennedy sr. I’d hate to see real investigative reporting
Bill Clinton’s mother worked in a whorehouse, IIRC.
Pimpin’ ain’t easy, David.
Yeah yeah and I bet he ground up kittens and puppies to fertilize his lawn or garden.
He’s mad because he probable was turned down when he (Johnston) went to one.
