Scots Do Not Hold Back While Showing Trump How They Really Feel About The President's Visit

Demonstrators gather at Union Terrace protesting against the visit of President Trump to Scotland on July 26, 2025 in Aberdeen, Scotland. Donald Trump has, in his usual fashion, caused an enormous stir after touching down in Scotland on Friday.The US president managed to play golf at his course on the Scottish coast on Saturday without being disturbed, but protests at his presence were erupting across the country. Trump and his son Eric played on Turnberry, the family course they’ve had for a decade, with US ambassador to the UK Warren Stephens.Meanwhile, more than 100 miles away, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the US Consulate in Edinburgh, making it plain that Trump was not at all welcome.Many also lashed out at UK prime minister Keir Starmer for striking up a new trade deal with Trump in a bid to avoid US tariffs on foreign imports.Trump is set to meet with Starmer, Scotland’s first minister John Swinney and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen during his five-day trip, while also making time to visit his second golf club in the region.Demonstrators rallied together ahead of his visit, with Pro-Palestine campaigners, environmental activists and pro-Ukraine groups uniting to create a loose group called the “Stop Trump Coalition”.During Saturday’s protests, some people brought bagpipes, while others wore outfits from the dystopian world of The Handmaid’s Tale.One protester told broadcasters: “We should not be opening Scotland or the UK to somebody with Trump’s background.“Trump is an abhorrent human being with no saving graces.” Anti-Trump protestors on Sky News, "We should not be opening Scotland or the UK to somebody with Trump's background""Trump is an abhorrent human being with no saving graces" pic.twitter.com/slzkXW3se1— Farrukh (@implausibleblog) July 26, 2025The left-wing, pro-independent newspaper The National also joined in with their Friday front page which featured Trump’s mug shot and the headline: “Convicted US felon to arrive in Scotland.” Amid backlash online, the newspaper then asked which part of their front page is factually inaccurate.Today's front page 📰 Convicted US felon to arrive in ScotlandOur front page has caused a stir online, prompting anger from Donald Trump's supporters. So, we want to ask: which part is factually inaccurate? 🤔 pic.twitter.com/uzs6MBYHy7— The National (@ScotNational) July 25, 2025Others got... a little more personal...Some really lent into their Scottish dialect to make sure the insults hit home....Large crowds gathered with handwritten placards...Some even channelled late Scottish stand-up comic Janey Godley, who previously went viral for her rather crude protests against Trump – as replicated in the sign below: This protester in Edinburgh, Scotland has a message for Donald Trump in honor of the late Janey Godley pic.twitter.com/EpcOzLNKWk— Marco Foster (@MarcoFoster_) July 26, 2025Related...Trump Claims He 'Never Went' To Epstein's Island And Tells People To Focus On Bill Clinton InsteadJoe Rogan On Trump Administration's Handling Of Epstein Files: 'Do You Think We're Babies?'Trump Doesn't Rule Out Pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell
