Why did President Trump claim that his Scottish mother loved the Queen, when the Scottish don’t like English rule?

I know lots of Scottish people who liked the Queen.
what a strange question.

Just because you don’t like the institution does not mean you don’t like a particular person.

His mother was a Macleod from Lewis.

Do your own research.

Scottish and proud here… loved the Queen.

It’s hardly beyond belief that she might have.

But he does have a casual relationship with the truth, so who knows. It certainly wouldn’t be his most concerning lie.

Never thought I'd be defending him but maybe because not every Scottish person feels the same?!
