“Donald Trump is a Macleod: There can be only ONE!”

Ah, another Highlander fan. Just so that his opponents know, Trump may possibly be immortal (unless you take his head...and he assuredly has the best sword that money can buy at his disposal to prevent that). :>)

WRT the actual issue in this thread: First, his mother had a skill (albeit not the greatest one in the world, but a skill nonetheless - and a willingness to WORK), and probably never took a dime worth of the public’s money. Second, $50 back then (circa 1920) was worth about $700 in today’s dollars, and was equivalent to about 1 1/2 weeks of wages. She was also staying with her brother - so didn’t need to spend any of her $50 on rent. She wasn’t set up badly at that point...and the fact that she could go back to Scotland a couple years later attests to that fact.

Lots of nothing, just like virtually all of the media’s criticism of Trump.

Oh, and P.S., Scotland wasn’t a shithole country, nor did people literally crap or pee in the streets there (well, besides the drunks...and they are in every country).
