A Russian newspaper claims that president-elect Donald Trump is distantly related to Rurik, the legendary Viking who founded the Russian state. Even as Russian officials are backpedaling from what has been perceived as pro-Trump interference in the US presidential election, Zavtra says they have genealogical data linking Trump to Rurik through the family line of Trump’s mother, Mary Anne MacLeod.

I just read he was a Palestinian, whatever the Hell that is.
No, John Kerry was a descendant of Genghis Khan's lesser known cousin Gin-Gis Khan. He kept getting minor injuries in battle, (many said he was cutting his own fingers on his sword for attention). Then one day he threw all his war trophies over the wall of Genghis's palace and said he was a pacifist (Genghis had him executed shortly thereafter...)
