DONALD TRUMP STOLE PANCAKES AND FORGOT A RELATIVE WAS DEAD WHILE VISITING FAMILY, COUSIN CLAIMS

A relative of President Donald Trump has accused the self-proclaimed billionaire of being a pancake thief, having stolen a handful of flat cakes while on vacation at his late mother's former home in Scotland....Mackay recalled one morning when the future president committed two social faux pas in quick succession. "He was here one morning I was busy making pancakes and he had forgotten my husband had died," she said. "He put a few pancakes in [his] pocket and never said 'cheerio' or anything."

The White House did not immediately respond to Newsweek's request for comment regarding the allegation of theft.

First, I'm surprised this blockbuster came from Newsweek rather than the New York Times.  Second, I love how Newsweek did their due diligence by following up with a question to the White House asking for comment on this story.  But finally...sure, some may say that it's rather unlikely that Trump or anyone else would steal pancakes by cramming them into his pocket, but I say...

Impeach now!

Is NewSpeak trying to compete with the Babylon Bee? Won't work! The Babylon Bee is the new "Paper of Record", publishing news weeks and months before it happens. :yowsa:
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

OMG! Pancake Gate!! We have to get to the bottom of the BREAKING SCANDAL!! immediately.
Congressional Hearings: Did you or did you not steal pancakes!?

Even "IF" he supposedly "stole" food (which I strongly doubt), since it was his mother's estate, how could that be considered "stealing"? It sounds like an open buffet? Take whatever you want? Who cares? except Newsweek I mean.

But yes, it is true that nobody would put pancakes directly in their pocket. Especially considering how expensive DT suits are. The oils and butter would leak out and ruin your clothing.

Another stupid story from yet another stupid Leftist outlet. I'm still waiting for them to finish the story about Trump getting up early to steal newspapers from his neighbors at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

This is a real story?  I am here expecting to read some semi-clever satirical piece on the silly things that Trump has been accused of, and instead get a "real" story?

That's what shocked me.  I figured it must be a gag/satire.  But it links directly to Newsweek's own page, and everything else there seems legit -- there isn't a "satire" section.  So they actually consider this to be newsworthy and credible.

Strange times....

Trump in the UK, steals breakfast pancake, knowing it will be the last good food over there for the day.

Do you blame him?

Wow.  This is news??  Economy, 2A, illegal immigration, Mexico, tariffs, China, Russia, Iran, oil, N. Korea, SCOTUS rulings, and we're worrying about Trump stealing flapjacks??  Why would even someone report this crap and how did a story like this get past the chief editor?

The answer to both those questions is the same.  It's an anti-Trump story, so truth is much less important than adding to the narrative.  They're worried about Trump's appeal to the working class, so they come up with this story whose details they perceive as most likely to offend those people.  Of course, it backfires because of their mistaken assumption that working class people are stupid, and easily fooled.

I suppose this means if people knew the stupid things I did in my earlier life they should fire me as their chiropractor. I can’t be trust.

Well, heck yes, if you're a pancake stealer too!
