Donald Trump stole pancakes while visiting family, cousin claims
Newsweek ^ | September 16, 2019 | David Brennan

Posted on 09/17/2019 5:42:03 AM PDT by Trump20162020

A relative of President Donald Trump has accused the self-proclaimed billionaire of being a pancake thief, having stolen a handful of flat cakes while on vacation at his late mother's former home in Scotland.

A distant cousin of the president, Alice Mackay—related to Trump through his mother's family, the McLeods—said the commander-in-chief is an unpleasant man who has never used any of his wealth to help his mother's local community.

Newsweek was always pro-Democrat and liberal, back to its beginnings, even when Time under Henry Luce was Republican, albeit of the Rockefeller wing (early day RINOs). The only difference between, say, 1960 and now is that Newsweek and their ilk have given up any veneer of objectivity.

this.

The British always think that they have a right to everyone’s wealth.

Sadly happened to the author of the series All Creatures Great and Small James Herriot. After his death he was pilloried for not having left a chunk of his money to his family.

Very unplesant bit of entitlement in the Brits. Classless.

Sad. When did Newsweek turn into Weekly World News?

I made the mistake once at a banquet of sitting at the same table with a man named Mackay. One of the most unpleasant people I have ever met.

Could be only remotely related to Alice Mackay, of course.

Doesn’t use his wealth to help his mother’s community?

I saw a female Scottish politician on TV a few years ago who was pleased that Donald Trump spent a lot of money on his premier golf course and associated buildings in Scotland.

The woman said the Trump organization invested $400 million on the Scottish project.

And Newsweak, what’s with this “self-proclaimed billionaire” crap?

What is the statute of limitations on this crime? Can it be added to the impeachment indictment?

Blockbuster has a warrant out for him because he rented Smokey and the Bandit and never rewound it.

I guess that this is like the 2 scoops nonsense.

This story is a measure of their desperation - they know that they cannot defeat Trump in the realm of political ideals, nor on practical issues like the economy. So they have to essentially manufacture this BS to try to make him look like a monster.

My God, he took some pancakes...the Earth is going to spin off of its axis, poor and minorities to be hit hardest!

Non-conservative voters, meaning demonRATs, liberals, progressives, socialists, communists, gimme-dats, freeloaders, hobos, etc... all have their hands out expecting something for free from the liberals in government; all it costs is their vote in order to get their freebies.

Like Ernie Hudson in “Ghostbusters”... “Uhhh..if there’s a steady paycheck (freebie), I’ll believe anything you say.”

These kinds of people are the living embodiement of the frog and the scorpion tale. Promise them freebies if they get you elected, then sting and kill them anyway.

"I am constantly amazed that Newsweek is still in business..."

"Former Newsweek editor Mark Whitaker said Sunday he chose not to run the story that former President Bill Clinton had an affair with Monica Lewinsky because he and his staff didn't feel they were on firm enough ground.

'If we had gotten that wrong,' Whitaker told CNN's Howard Kurtz on Reliable Sources, it 'could have been a mortal blow to Newsweek's reputation' "

My, how times have changed. Back then they claimed they needed two verified sources to run the story. Today, anything goes.

Good God, how Newsweak has plummeted over the years. Amazing to think it was once a respected news periodical.
