I love the wild skirl of the pipes myself, it sends a chill up my spine listening to them on Remembrance Day.

"I love the poorly educated losers. The poorly educated losers, they love me. I have thousands and thousands of poorly educated losers. Many of them have graduated from Trump University, okay?"
