    Trump isn’t popular in Scotland either. He’s dragging down global approval of the U.S.



    “Many find his Scottish lineage embarrassing. Scots tend to skew more to the left than the rest of the U.K., and a recent opinion poll found that seven out of 10 people here have an unfavorable opinion of the American president, compared with 57% among the British at large.

    He also had a big laminated picture of Trump with the disgraced financier, Jeffrey Epstein, with a sign saying “Trump Go Home.”

    The Scottish planning authorities went along with the golf course plan because Trump’s business had pledged investments of up to $1.2 billion in an area looking for ways to pivot away from its dependence on the diminishing supplies of North Sea oil. But not all of those investments materialized, feeding further resentment in Scotland. The luxury resort complex was never built.”

    We had a post the other day assuring us that Scots were “flooding every roadway” to show their support for Trump.
    It obviously wasn’t close to being true, but it made someone feel good to post it.

    The Scots despise him, and their protest signs are almost as clever and funny as ours.

    Trump is needlessly antagonizing various neighbors, but Canada and Scotland: heal thyself.

    Trump is a big baby that only MAGA moms could love.

    Scotland: European capital of heart disease, drunkenness and depression.

    Not just cheating but has a guy trained up to automatically cheat for him. Hires caddies that are trained in the sleight of hand. This is a little peak into how he lives.

    My dad taught me at a very young age that golf is a perfect window into someone's character. It's incredibly easy to cheat at, especially playing casually.

    I'm a Limey Gator from Limeyland.
    I would pay great money to see you say that on a Friday night in Glasgow.
