“Trumps mother was a McCleod. The motto of that Clan is...HOLD FAST.”
Seriously, I REALLY like Trump. He is the antithesis of a typical pol - he is principled, loves his country more than a few dollars (and he could make more by continuing to work hard and smart than running for POTUS at age 69-70), is incredibly successful, knows DIRECTLY how government affects business, knows how to negotiate a great deal (mainly by knowing EVERYTHING about your opponent and being willing to walk away), etc., etc. He is just going to roast whomever goes against him on a spit.
Originally a nautical term probably borrowed from the Dutch “houd vast” (hold tight) referring to the importance ..
“He is just going to roast whomever goes against him on a spit.”
The Kennedys were infamous for doing that. They actually roasted a catholic leader over a fire on a spit to get them to turn over their lands to them.
As far as the McLeods, I spelled it wrong..grrr, there was/is two branches of the Clan, sons, one the Isle of Lewis and one, of Harris and part of Skye. I got the book of Scottish Clans and could look it up, but. Anyway, they are originally Norse. The name said to be from the norse word meaning ugly. Leod was supposed to be the son of Olaf the Black.
As far as I understand the motto for both branches is HOLD FAST.
Like most Highland Clans, they got into it with their neighbors, the McDonalds, and ended up on the wrong end of the stick. Funny, the head of the veterans administration is who? NAW, old grudges die dont they?
