"They value their privacy and do not like being hassled about their views. Many will probably even lie rather than reveal their voting intention. I got the Brexit vote right, the

General Election and now the American election.  "A lot of people claim to be ashamed that Trump has links to Lewis because of the way he talks. But a lot of people on Lewis like and

admire Trump. "I started the page to show how I felt and hoped others would feel the same too. It's all about honesty. I think he's an honest man. "Time will tell if his

links with the island will help - but he seems to have a soft spot for here."  And the father-of-five added: "I just click with his approach - though not necessarily how he says

it. I feel his approach is very much a Lewis approach in style.  "He is not intimidated by what people say, and I'm impressed by that."  A social media row broke out earlier

this year over support for Republican Mr Trump on the Isle of Lewis. 'Voters' on Lewis had given the thumbs down on rival Facebook sites to Mr Trump for president. Few islanders

reacted to a Facebook paged entitled 'Isle of Lewis supports Trump for president'. It says: "Donald Trump is a straight talker who lets them have it right between the eyes. A

common trait on the Isle of Lewis where his mother came from."  However hundreds of people on social media have also supported 'The Isle of Lewis DOES NOT support Donald

Trump' page. Colin Morrison wrote: "Local girl's son president. Will we see the president visiting kim (sic) and the folk in Tong."  While MaryAnn Campbelll wrote simply:

"V sad day."  Mr Trump's mother Mary Anne - who was born in 1912 in Tong - emigrated to America and met and married property magnate Frederick Trump. Eight years ago Mr Trump

made an emotional visit to his late mother's humble old home and met his cousins.  However afterwards, Mr Trump said he was only doing his £1bn golf course scheme in Aberdeenshire in

return with his youngest son Barron. Mr Trump's mother died in August 2000 at the age of 88, but had returned to Lewis.
