Doesn't mean he didn't wear a Klan outfit, like they reported. We don't know for sure either way and it's kinda hard to tell what goes on in the mind of dead man.
But it does suggest he did not. Let's be real. The only connection Fred Trump had with the KKK was being a registered democrat.
Actually, it doesn't suggest that. The article seems to have said that all of those arrested were wearing Klan robes. Fred Trump was one of those arrested. He wasn't charged with anything from what we can tell , the reason for that is unknown. Could be benign or not.
And being arrested at a Klan rally.
Arrested in vicinity of a rally and was dismissed without charges.
Arrested at the rally which is something more than simply being a registered Democrat around that time - so not "the only thing".
Forget the democrats for a moment, what about people who love democracy?

The Varieties of Democracy (V-Dem) Institute at Gothenburg University reaches the alarming conclusion in its annual report, that the US is hurtling towards autocracy at a faster rate than Hungary and Turkey.
“Our data on the USA goes back to 1789. What we’re seeing now is the most severe magnitude of democratic backsliding ever in the country,” says Staffan Lindberg, founder of the institute.
Since 2012, Lindberg has led his small group of researchers in Sweden to become the world’s leading source for analysis of the health of global democracy. In their latest report, published on Tuesday, they conclude that the US, for the first time in more than half a century, has lost its long-term status as a liberal democracy. The country is now going through a rapid process of what the report’s authors call “autocratisation”.

“For Orbán in Hungary, it took about four years, for Vučić in Serbia, it took eight years, and for Erdoğan in Turkey and Modi in India, it took about 10 years to accomplish the suppression of democratic institutions that Trump has achieved in only one year,” Lindberg says.
US democracy is now back at the worst recorded level since 1965, when US civil rights laws first introduced de facto universal suffrage. All progress made since then has been erased, according to the report.

Posts like this show that the answer to question in the OP is no.
Yeah, he actually did. The Covid inflation and joblessness subsided while the Infrastructure Bill put money and jobs into the economy. Not fast enough, sadly, so here we are now.
The Biden economy was one of the worst American economies in modern history.
