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."

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Go back far enough in anyone’s family tree and you will find someone hanging from it.
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.
With the decriminalization of Mary-Jew-Wanna, I thought that the decriminalization of Sex-workers was just short of the quickly approaching horizon.
Blog Pimpery.
And obozo’s dad was a cheating bigamist communist. He never had the brains to run a whorehouse... or even a popsicle stand.
David Cay Johnston has buggered little boys.
If so he was obviously damn good at it!
Winning.
Sounds like more dhimmicrap projection...
If it’s anything negative about Trump, MSNBC will run with it. It doesn’t have to be true if they just report it like “This person over here says...”.
And your point is?...3 generations ago providing what people wanted...
Ever hear of Epstein and the orgy flights to a private island filled with underage teen girls with Bill horndog Clinton being a frequent flyer?
Why post this piece of trash
We know the left is insane and vile
“..claiming that his grandfather, Friedrich Trump, built the first Trump fortune by “running whorehouses.”
Kay knows because his grandmother was onr of the whores and told him so.
And Kennedy’s father was a bootlegger. So?
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.
I’ve now heard that that is true...
Pass it on....
Neither did 0bozo. The “0” even gave away ice cream (stole it) to give to kids when he worked(?) in an ice cream store.
Didn’t he also drive off the road in Kenya and have to have his legs amputated? They probably did it for free, though. African socialized medicine!
