Repugnant Trump Trolls Bloggod as Bloggod Trolls Fascist Trump
"In an apparent ad-lib, Trump looked up from his prepared remarks — which praised the firm for teaming up with General Electric to produce ventilators and face shields for medical workers — to observe that Henry Ford’s descendants, like the current chairman, Bill Ford, who had introduced the president, have “good blood.”
"“The company founded by a man named Henry Ford,” Trump’s prepared text appeared to say, “teamed up with the company founded by Thomas Edison — that’s General Electric.”
But when Trump came to Ford’s name, he looked up from the text and observed:
“good bloodlines,
good bloodlines —
if you believe in that stuff, you got good blood.”

"Paul Jennings (1799–1874) was an American personal servant, as a young slave, to President James Madison during and after his White House years.
After buying his freedom in 1845 from Daniel Webster, Jennings is noted for publishing in 1865 the first White House memoir"
"His book was A Colored Man's Reminiscences of James Madison, described as "a singular document in the history of slavery and the early American republic."
Living in Washington, DC from 1837 on, Jennings made many useful connections and was aided by the northern Senator Daniel Webster in gaining freedom. In the 1850s, Jennings traveled to Virginia, where he tracked down his children, who had grown up on a neighboring plantation with his late wife Fanny, also a slave. His relatives on his mother's side were sold by the widow Dolley Madison with Montpelier in 1844. His three sons joined the Union cause during the American Civil War.
In 2009 his descendants were honored at Montpelier following a lecture on Jennings. They were also invited to a private viewing at the White House of the Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington, which Jennings helped save during the War of 1812 and the British burning of the Capitol."

Brings me to a story of when
Grant my brother
lived in NY City
And one day around Rockefeller Plaza
Grant notices a crowd
and hubbub emerging and it is Ronald Reagan
exiting and heading with Secret Service
toward his awaiting limos
So Grant starts yelling Nazi, Nazi
And Ron cups a hand to his ear,
straining to listen and
yells back to his adoring public
"Sorry, Nancy couldn't be
here today......" and it was well played,
old Ron, well played.

Trump told the assembled executives, factory workers and media. “Good bloodlines, good bloodlines. If you believe in that stuff, you got good blood.”

"A great grandmother of automobile industrialist Henry Ford I, the one who was Henry's father's paternal grandmother.
Rebecca Jennings-Ford and her husband, William Ford (1775-1818), are the earliest names on the Ford (Motor Co.) family tree and had 5 sons.
They were believed to have lived as tenant farmers near Crohane, Cork County, Ireland, until c. 1829."
