Report Finds Every Living U.S. President Has Ancestral Ties to Slavery – Except One
Sarah Prentice with Media Research Center reports:
Out of all living American presidents, Donald Trump is the only one not to have descended from a family that owned slaves, according to a historical analysis report from Reuters.

The report studied the genealogies of the current American political elite, and found that five living presidents, two Supreme Court justices, 11 governors, and 100 members of Congress all have ancestors who owned slaves.
Minus Trump, all living presidents have a family history tied to slave ownership – including Joe Biden, Jimmy Carter, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and even Barack Obama, through his white mother’s side.
The only one who didn’t qualify was Trump. His family moved to the states after slavery was already abolished.
