Yes, old Woody, though dead these nigh-fifty years, has a few things to say.
"Old Man Trump"
And another version:
Yes, old Fred Trump - Donald's dad - was Woody's landlord at a racially-restricted development called Beach Haven in the early 1950s, and Woody wasn't happy about it. It helps remind us that Donald isn't a self-made man: he got his fortune, and his empire, and his attitude, from Dad. More details here and here.
"Christ for President"
More about it here.
