Donald Trump is the Republican frontrunner (and prohibitive favorite to win the White House in November) because he tells it like it is and has a campaign slogan that is easy to understand: "Make America Great Again." Voters seem to trust him, but should they?
The Donald's commitment to American exceptionalism has been called into question ever since the Free Beacon exclusively revealed that Trump played soccer, a European-style ball game that incentivizes fake injuries, in high school. Days later, we learned that Trump's mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born in Scotland, and was an early participant in the "anchor baby" epidemic that continues to undermine our national character.
Where do Trump's true loyalties lie? It's a legitimate question, and the candidate's obsession with golf, a sport invented in Scotland, as well as his youthful dalliance with soccer, suggest an answer that most Americans would find disconcerting. Trump has barely tried to hide his allegiance to Mother Scotland, as evidenced by these photos.

Trump took a lot of heat on Monday for describing a Bible passage as "Two Corinthians" as opposed to "Second Corinthians." Turns out it wasn't really a gaffe, just another example of his Scottish identity seeping through the elaborate New York Values facade.
One last note on Donald Trump and 2 Corinthians. His mom is an immigrant from Scotland, where I'm told 2 (not second) was likely common.

He's already given us a glimpse of what his inauguration might look it, and it's downright scary:
The Scots, meanwhile, are behaving exactly as you'd expect them to, going to elaborate lengths to distance themselves from their sleeper agent for purposes of plausible deniability.
