\"Donald<\/a>
Donald Trump’s mother comes from Tong on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland. The poem says “Domhnamm, the best of Mac Leod”… if he is the best may God save the world from their worst!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Im sure some are good people
\nFrom the shadows of Tong steeple
\nBut the one the world does know
\nContempt for all he does show
\nStirrs the baying of the bigoted crowd
\nHe who we are told by the bards is the best of Mac Leod<\/p>\n

The one the world knows is sleazy as hell
\nBoasts to the world and to all who listen will tell
\nHe is a star, of women’s feelings is not fussy
\nWill kiss regardless, gram em by the pussy
\nStill they follow him, the ignorant crowd
\nHe who we are told by the bards is the best of Mac Leod<\/p>\n

Tolerance is not his watchword
\nScience he scoffs at as if its absurd
\nIn his quest to make America great
\nHe makes other nations poorer and stirs up hate
\nAll the the cheers of the mob, the White Anglo Saxon crowd
\nHe who we are told by the bards is the best of Mac Leod<\/p>\n

Well if this is what they offer us as the best
\nAnd they have no others to offer a contest
\nI think that the world around the Isle of Lewis should build a wall
\nTo keep them all in away from us all
\nMay the Lord in his mercy save us from any more of that crowd
\nIf he is the best keep away the worst of Mac Leod!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
