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.

That was my thought.....for it is impossible to believe that a once trusted news magazine would publish such pablum and call it news.

Reminds me of a song by Head East.

Really?

IMPEACH THE PANCAKE THIEF!

Right....Mr. neat and clean shoved pancakes in his pockets.

He should have demanded waffles, then stolen them. Numptys!

The day?? Heck this is one of the funniest ever about Trump.

The idea of him stealing pancakes and putting them in his pocket is hilarious.

And why were they considered stolen if he , in fact, did it.

And did she have a stop watch to determine it was 97 seconds and not 96.

Jill S. @JillBernadette3 · lying to @Newsweek As it lay dying, Newsweek on its death bed manages to get out the words, "Trump....stole.....pancakes." Newsweek. May you rest. ⚘

Strange comments for a host; when I invite people to my house I kind of expect them to eat or I wouldn’t have invited them in the first place. And when they leave if I have extras, I kind of expect them to take it with them. A matter of self-interest so I don’t eat the leftovers. I’m sure Trump would gladly cover his cheap cousin for the cost of a few waffles.

I have been on a Keto diet for over a year and those pictures of pancakes are killing me.

[Vigilanteman]

Nah, that was when he was 6. He filched the pancakes at age 5.

This is real:

Barbra Streisand ✔ @BarbraStreisand Donald Trump is making me gain weight. I start the day with liquids, but after the morning news, I eat pancakes smothered in maple syrup!

Someone has too much time on their hands

I just emailed the Scotland tourist board.

Why would anyone visit that island if the nasty people there are going to complain that I didn’t donate enough money to their community?

Saint Pancake is very upset!

He should have demanded waffles...

Trump's not a waffler.
