Turning Up Trumps

Almost 58 years after their last meeting, American business mogul and "The Apprentice" star, Donald Trump, was reunited in style with his Scottish first cousins on the Western Scottish island of Lewish where his later mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, was born.

MacLeod was a fisherman's daughter, raise in modest house of the island before meeting Fred Trump during a visit to new York. They conducted a courtship by correspondence before she finally accepted Fred's proposal and married into the Trump clan.

Donald Trump, accompanied by his sister, New York judge mary anne Trump Barry, flew to the island in grand style aboard his own Boeing 727 complete with gold Trump livery. He had the island population atwitter with announcement that he would fund some charitable initiatives there and promise to return soon to introduce them to his two-year-old-son Barron.

The tycoon explained he could not visit the island earlier because he was "busy having so much fun" in New York. However, he confessed that age has given him a mellower perspective. "You do reach a certain point in life where you think about where you came from, where your parents are from, and in this case I've been waiting to do this for years".
