4. "Jackass doesn't realize how many US citizens have family in Scotland"

His own mother was literally an immigrant from Scotland.


A SCOTTISH CHILDHOOD
1-2. Trump’s mother was born Mary Anne MacLeod in the village of Tong, on Scotland’s Isle of Lewis, in 1912. 3. In her late teens, MacLeod boarded a ship for the United States, following three of her sisters; below is a manifest listing her as a “domestic.” 4. Her childhood there—she once lived in the house shown here, as photographed in 2016—was not easy; the area’s economy took a hit during World War I. 5. After some travel back to Scotland, MacLeod, pictured in the early 1930s, returned to live in the United States for good. | Newsline (2); Russell Cheyne /Reuters; Snopes.com; Mirrorpix


I expect members/descendants of her family are probably still there (she was one of 10 children).

He knows but doesn't care.
