A demonstration was held near the American Consulate in Edinburgh, Scotland, apart from the arrival of US President Donald Trump, this Saturday, July 26. Several hundred people protested this five -day visit to the US president who combines diplomacy and leisure.
At the end of the morning, several hundred people also gathered in Aberdeen, an economic lung in the northeast of the country, where Donald Trump has a second golf complex in which he must go during his visit. These demonstrations were organized in the call of the Stop Trump coalition group.
Trump represented in the devil
Some participants soft signs that said “Scotland hates Trump” (Scotland hates Trump). Others stirred Palestinian flags. In Aberdeen, a man had a sign that represented the face of the Red President with Horns of the Devil.
His links with Jeffrey Epstein and his comparisons with Vladimir Putin or Benjamin Netanyahu or his extreme immigration policy have also been pointed out.
Donald Trump claimed his love for Scotland on several occasions, where his mother was born and grew up, but his policy and local investments of his family group aroused controversy. In Turnberry, his five -day visit was divided.
“All Scotland wants you to go”
“Many people don’t trust Trump and I’m like them. I think it’s a megalomaniac,” said Graham Hodgson, retired. “He does many problems in the world with his customs duties,” he adds.
“Every Scotland wants you to go,” he sang the multitude of protesters in Aberdeen, reports Stv News. “The vast majority of Scots already opposed everything Trump represented during his first visit as president,” said Connor Dylan, organizer of Anti-Trump demonstrations, with local media.
A busy president playing golf
At the same time, Donald Trump was busy playing in the golf course on his tour of Turnberry, placed under the high police surveillance. In the rain and in the company of his son Eric, the US president hit his first blows in the Green of the luxurious complex that belongs to the family business on Saturday.
The arrival of the US president on Friday night in Turnberry transformed this picturesque region and generally quiet from the southwest of Scotland to a real fortress, with closed roads and numerous control points installed by the police.
Police and soldiers patrolled Saturday morning in this golf course that welcomed four male British openings, as well as in the sand beaches and the grass covers of grass that align it.
The players were recorded shortly before Donald Trump appeared in the Green. The arrival of the US president caused a large large -scale security operation, for which the Scottish police obtained the reinforcement of other police forces in the country.
Airport support
Donald Trump landed at the Prestwick airport on Friday night in southwest Glasgow, where dozens of supporters of US president had gathered to see him.
A child was carrying a sign in which “Welcome Trump” was written, while a man waved a great blue flag that showed the slogan “make the United States great again.”
“The best thing with Trump is that he is not a politician (…) and I think he defends over all the interests of his country,” said Lee McLean, 46, who came from the neighboring Kilmarnck City. According to him, this is what all political leaders should do “before being interested in what is happening abroad.”
