A man passed away in the village of Tong this week. You may have seen him on tv some 11 years ago. It was to his humble abode that Donald John Trump came to visit. It was his humble abode that, some 100 years previous, was the birthplace of Mary Ann Macleod. After emigrating to the US and marrying Fred Trump, she had several children, including Donald John. 70 years later, he became president of the USA. The man who was laid to rest in the cemetery at Gress today was the first cousin of president Trump - and asked people to not speak of his cousin.
I wonder if president Trump is aware of the death of this close relative, and if he has ever been the few miles up the road from Tong, into the Gress Cemetery. To pay homage to his maternal grandparents, humble, honest crofters, eking out a meagre living on the shores of the Cockle Ebb, where they would end their days. They now also rest at Gress.
I cannot remember where, but I read about Trumps Mother somewhere.Don't suppose many would be bothered about him visiting this place,as he would probably make many derogatory remarks,as always.xx
