President Donald Trumps father was once arrested over the deplorable conditions at his Maryland apartment project.
The president has spent the week attacking Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-MD) over poverty in the city of Baltimore, which Trump has called disgusting and a rat and rodent infested mess, but his own father was taken into police custody for neglecting his property not far away, according to a 1976 report by the Washington Post.
Fred Trump failed to pay for repairs mandated by local officials in Prince George County, where he owned apartment buildings in Seat Pleasant and his housing license was revoked, preventing him from signing leases with new tenants.
The elder Trump agreed to fly to Maryland to meet with local officials on Sept. 29, 1976 and he was arrested on arrival.

He had a grandfather (selling women and girls) and father that taught him just that.
