Later today, the disgraced former 45th president and current disgraceful 47th president of the United States of America, insurrectionist, convicted felon, adjudicated sexual predator, business fraudster, congenital liar and golf cheat commonly known as Donald John Trump, is due to land in Scotland for a bit of recreational cheating – assumed to be of the golfing rather than the extra-marital kind – at his two resorts of Turnberry on the Ayrshire coast and Menie in Aberdeenshire (“Twinned with Epstein Island”) in a break from his mission to Make America Grate Again (or something similar. Ed.).
Scotland’s The National has of course, put the news on its front page, but does not stoop to the sycophancy that The Donald craves and has come to expect.
The only people your ‘umble scribe has noted are actually looking forward to The Felon’s visit are the Scottish First Minister John Swinney and the alleged Prime Minister of the Untied Kingdom, one ‘Sir’ Keir Rodney Starmer, both of whom have arranged to hold meetings with tRump during his Scottish sojourn.
Meanwhile the Scots are planning a traditional warm welcome – hopefully carrying the force of emotion of the late Janey Godley.
Full details of the Scottish protests are available on Stop Trump.
The front page has apparently had a mixed reception in the USA.
