Trump takes a break from world affairs to tee-up his Scottish golf courses

Donald Trump is flying to Scotland later to visit his golf resort in the country where his mother was born.

He will travel to Turnberry in South Airesheire, a global place that he bought in 2014, and to Minne in Aberinchire to open a new course of 18 hole.

The White House says Trump will also meet Prime Minister Sir Kerr Starmer to discuss trade while in the United Kingdom.

The journey is exceptional because American presidents are rarely promoting their personal interests in public while they are in office.

This is not the first time Trump was accused of reducing his own affairs With the nation.

However, with Gaza and Ukraine in fire, and the dollar on the slide, and the questions that escalate about his relations with the convicted soldiers, Jeffrey Epstein, Trump’s decision to focus on golf has sparked eyebrows.

I watched Trump’s unconventional position directly, at the beginning of his political career, when I met him on the campaign’s course in 2015, when the Republicans looked for a candidate who can strengthen the presidency after Barack Obama’s periods in his position.

Trump clarified the discussion stage at the brilliant Las Vegas Hotel and in a room full of cameras.

I asked the man linking the long red man with some questions, and after he boasted about putting him as a pioneer in the race, he told me that he had a message to the United Kingdom.

This will make the news, I thought. Maybe something about immigration, the subject of Trump’s signature campaign?

It was not. Instead, Trump wanted BBC viewers to have some beautiful golf courses on the shores of Scotland that they must visit.

I am surprised by the wonderful answer to a man who aspires to become the alleged leader of the free world.

Of course, Trump has a real link with Scotland.

His Paliliya’s speaking mother, Mary Ann McCloidShe was born in 1912 on Louis Island, Hperedes, Scotland, and was left during the great depression of New York, as she married the real estate developer Farid Trump.

The return of their son to Scotland for four days this summer before an official visit to the state in September when the king and first lady Melania Trump are hosting by King Charles at Windsor Castle in Berkchire.

Trump is not scheduled to see the king on this visit, but he is not completely special as well, because he will meet the Prime Minister of Scotland, John Sweeny and the Prime Minister.

Business leaders, including the Scot, and Swinney whiskey producers to use their meetings with Trump to press for US taxes to drop on imports, known as tariffs.

The huge security process, which has been ongoing for weeks, has been increased in recent days.

The giant transport planes carrying the military services, including the president’s helicopters, are known when they are on board by the Call Marine One brand, at Aberdeen and Berstoic airports.

Roads and corridors were secured in Aberinachire and Arsheire and closed.

Air field restrictions have been released.

Police reinforcements are heading north across the borders of England-Condund.

Visits to Scotland by sitting the US presidents are rare.

Queen Elizabeth Dwight de Ezenhauer hosted in Palmural, Aberinachire in 1957; George W. Bush traveled to Gleneagles in Barthchier to get the G8 in 2005; Joe Biden attended a climate conference in Glasgow in 2021.

the Only the other president of this century is Trump himself in 2018 When the demonstrators, including one of them flying down above Turnberry, it penetrates the air -to -resort area.

Even according to Donald Trump’s standards over the years since, it was the wilderness.

When he lost the 2020 elections in front of Joe Biden, one of Trump’s supporters responded to their leader’s wrong demands for electoral fraud through an escalation of violent attack on the American Capitol.

Four years later, Trump has made an amazing political return and since her return to the White House They survived at least one assassination attempt While a man was accused with someone else.

Amid these disorders, the security surrounding Trump is supposed to be more compact than ever.

The American Secret Service, which criticized a lot due to the failures that cost the president almost his life, remains primarily responsible for his safety, but concerns have been raised about the impact of his visit to police officers and his budget, where one of the senior former officials estimates the cost of the police at more than 5 million pounds.

In addition to the pressure on the police to secure its resort, major demonstrations to combat Trump will be held in Aberdeen and Edinburgh.

Scotland Police He insists that he has the resources he needs To deal with the visit.

while Opinion polls indicate that Trump is not very popular in the United KingdomHe may actually find some sympathy in Aberdeen, the city he and many others call him “the capital of oil in Europe”.

The hot debate about the nature and speed of the transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy sparked, and BBC News was told last week that Aberdeen, which flourished for decades of digging the North Sea, “You should get rid of windmills and restore oil.”

Trump’s environmental campaign group says that the North Sea can still provide the United Kingdom with safe energy supplies “that contradict reality.”

Trump’s pro -oil message was frequented by the UK reform speech, the right -wing party led by Trump’s fans Nigel Faraj, who made progress in a recently Scottish sub -elections and hopes to move forward in one step by winning seats for the first time in the Scottish parliamentary elections next year.

The Scottish Parliament, known as Holirod after its position at the foot of Royal Millie Edinburgh, runs a lot of local affairs in Scotland, such as health, education, some taxes and benefits, while the British Parliament in London maintains control of the wider economic defense and economic policy.

Trump’s oil industry’s support is well known, but his hatred of wind turbines is deeper.

In 2012, he told me that building a wind farm off the coast of his golf course in Minnie It will be a “terrible mistake” that would destroy Scotland“

The meeting was a strange experience.

Initially, Trump’s assistants told us that he was wearing the difficult questions that Rona Dougal asked from Stv News earlier in the morning, to the point that he changed his opinion about speaking to BBC.

We waited anyway in the rain, for hours. In the end, the man himself appeared. After some verbal debate, the burgers offered us from the barbecue before retreating and agreeing to conduct interviews with them.

Later, a committee from the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh requested evidence to support its claim that Scottish tourism will be destroyed through wind turbines, “I am the evidence.”

The wind farm has been built anyway and is now clear from the training course.

It is not the only battle that Trump has fought against the background of the variable sand dunes and herbs whispered in mini He has repeatedly clashed with the local population, politicians and environments For a variety of reasons.

His other path in Turnberry is not controversial in itself, but this is the stage in which he is a marriage of golf authorities because Trump seems angry at the rejection of the ruling body of the game, research and development, to organize the prestigious open championship there, citing logistical challenges.

Turnberry is home to three golf courses, it is said that it is The most expensive play in the United KingdomAnd the open was held there four times however Trump never bought it in 2014.

It is another amazing example of how, after a decade of the escalation of what was essentially an anti -American party’s acquisition, the man who was the fourth fourth and the United States alike and did not completely exchange business for policy.

He is the most powerful man in the Western world, however, Donald Trump is still angry at wandering, and still wanders in the situation, and is still angry at the Golf deal, until now, at least, failed to close.
