A former body guard for Donald Trump is opening up about witnessing repeated gross, selfish, and dishonest behavior, and about how the former president still owes him $130 for a massive McDonald’s order. Kevin McKay, who worked for Trump for five years until being fired in 2012, says that during a trip to Trump’s golf resort in Scotland, the avid McDonald’s fan wanted some food for his private jet back to the U.S. but didn’t have the correct currency.

“Mr. Trump didn’t have any U.K. currency – pounds – so he asked me if I could front him the cash,” said McKay according to the Daily Mail. “I said, ‘sure’ and took everyone’s order – about 20 cheeseburgers and fries with around 10 or 15 Coca Colas. I think Mr. Trump ordered two cheeseburgers with fries and a diet Coke – that was his usual order and he always wanted McDonald’s to take with him on the private jet.”

“It cost me about £95 in total and Mr Trump told me, ‘you’ll get it back.’”

But he didn’t.
McKay thought for sure that the very rich man would pay him back, especially considering the fact that his salary was only about $2,700 per month. He never brought it up, waiting for the day that Trump would keep his word, but that day never came.
“I thought he was an okay guy when I first started working for him but I guess that as we have all come to see, he is not a man of his word,” said McKay.
The McDonald’s incident, however, was not the only thing that lowered the former bodyguard’s opinion of the former president. He told tales of Trump trying to convince him to flash the car lights and honk the horn in the area close to the Scotland golf course, which was being built at the time, because they didn’t want to sell their land to him.

“Second time we met he said, ‘I want you to give these motherf—ers a hard time,’” said McKay. “He would tell us to flash our lights and press the horns on our cars right through the night just to get at one person.”
“It was because they wouldn’t sell to him but that’s their prerogative and I didn’t want to get involved. I told him: ‘No, we are not going to do that.’”
This might have something to do with why he was fired later without any explanation.
He also said that Trump bribed a contractor to put up a bunch of trees around one person’s property because he didn’t “like the look of that motherf—ing house.”
“They put the trees up shortly afterwards and I heard through the grapevine that he had the cheek to hand the guy the bill for them. That’s the sort of man he is.”

Trump never did get along with his Scottish neighbors, who resented him trying to bully and con them into giving up their farmland, as well as ecologically important sand dunes, for his dream golf resort.
“He says he will give you the earth and gives you a handful of dirt,” said local resident David Milne, who started flying the Mexican flag from his home in view of the golf course.
McKay further described Trump as being snappy with Melania even though she “seemed like a very caring wife and did whatever she was told without question.” He also had a hard time keeping his hair under control in Scotland’s windy weather in spite of his habitual use of hairspray.
“The wind from the North Sea would blow across the estate and he would have a hard time stopping it from flying up and all over the place.”
