Tin Foil Hat time

THIS LINK IS NO LONGER OPERABLE....GLAD I SAVED CONTENT


===============================================
impressed that I found a McIver connection on Trump's own website? Don't you hate it when you think you have a HUGE scoop but no one else does?

His great grandmother was a McIver. Coincidence? LOL

Trump Scottish Ancestry
The Family History of Mary Anne MacLeod,
the Mother of Donald J. Trump


by Tony Reid

Genealogy


Mary Anne was born on 10th May 1912 at 3 Tong, Stornoway to Malcolm MacLeod and his wife Mary Smith. The family lived at Tong, a small fishing/crofting township lying 3-4 miles from Stornoway, the only town on the Isle of Lewis. The parents married in 1891 within the Free Church of Scotland, Tong. Malcolm was a local fisherman/crofter, the son of Alexander MacLeod and Annie MacLeod. At the time of the 1901 Census, Malcolm and Mary already had six children.

Alexander, also a crofter/fisherman, would have been born in about 1832. He married Ann MacLeod, also a Tong resident, in 1853 and died in Tong in 1900. According to his son Malcolm, who was the informant of his father’s death, Alexander was the son of William MacLeod, a crofter, and Catherine MacLeod. William died at nearby Vatisker in 1869 and, according to his son Alexander; he was the son of Kenneth MacLeod and [FONT COLOR=RED] Catherine McIver.

forgotten . There is a supposed Trump aide/speechwriter named Meredith McIver who took the fall for Melania stealing Michelle's speech. But...MM had no past. Had no social media info....except some recent, presumably manufactured facebook pages and a voter ID - nothing else. The Trumps said she was a speechwriter. In fact, she is listed as "co-author" on most all of Trump's books. But, no published bona fides. So, many think she is a real person but was invented by Trump to take the fall when needed. He has a propensity to invent pseudonyms.

Bottom line, if she is invented, what better name than a name from Trump's past, his great grandmother is named McIver.

I have been following this and when the website went dark...immediately went to tin foil hat-ness.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess this isn't about a hero engineer who fashions a solution at the eleventh hour out of duct tape and zip ties.

amazed, being with my Dem sisters for a week on vacation, how many times one of us said. "Oh ya, forgot about that one."

Think Hillary should spend the next debate bringing up every single one of his lunatic comments/issues. why the hell not.
