If anything will make Scotland declare war on the US, an invasion by Trump will.

“I’m not sure what the purpose of the trip is,” said Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., who added that he hopes Trump “would get back here quickly.”

The purpose of the trip is clearly to kick some funds from the Trump for President fundraiser, back to the Trump airplane business and the Trump resort business.

Yeah, if he speaks to a single reporter while there, this is all a “campaign stop,” billable to the campaign.

Anyone who donates money to the Trump campaign is what’s known in the business as “an easy mark.”

I can hardly wait for Thr Rump to receive his $89,000 hotel bill.

“Fuck you Junior! The wet bar was watered down and the pillow mint was off center. I’m only paying $99 a night and you’re lucky I don’t sue you.”

Well, let’s see, the neighbors are flying Mexican flags, there’s a farmer who wouldn’t sell to Trump who’s hailed as a folk hero and won a contest over it sponsored by the Glenfiddich people, which Trump then banned from his properties (well, what he claims as properties) in a fit of pique, and most of the country think’s he’s an idiot and on top of everything he’s repeatedly referred to himself as “Scotch” which is a thing that literally no true Scotsman would do. In other words, nobody in Scotland is doing any bragging about him that I’m aware of.

He promised thousands of jobs, there are 150. According to a Scottish reporter on Bloomberg TV

I predict that he will visit every property during the campaign so they can all get big rent payments from his campaign cash

Is one of the courses where he was fighting to stop construction on a nearby wind farm? He lost in the UK’s high court last fall, I thought.

Tell me you’re kidding. He didn’t refer to himself as “Scotch”!!!

No, but the AP sure is. Glad we get some AP stories here, to remind us how blindly and misleadingly the MSM is cheering for Republicans. Thanks, mattinpa. for bringing us some details that the AP overlooked.

If you’d like to see the real relationship between Trump and the people of Scotland, when you have the time, watch the documentary “You’ve Been Trumped”:
I do hope they show The Donny their true feelings and give him the ‘welcome’ he deserves. Trump not only took a crap on them; he rubbed it in:

“In his first international trip since becoming the presumptive Republican nominee, Trump plans to check on a pair of his championship golf resorts. Some Republicans worry that the billionaire’s attention is divided between his businesses and his campaign.”

A good preview of what a Trump Presidency would be.

Trump attacks Clinton for participating in global initiatives when he is all about America first, but the next thing he does is jet to Scotland to take care of business.

Well, he does have $1.4 mil on hand that he hasn’t ‘tapped’ yet. This tappable account will be in the red with no one being able to figure out why before Trump cools his jets.

Rather than anyone donating to the Trump for President campaign they should just send the money directly to help pay his past due bills and cut to the chase.

That huge sucking noise that you hear is not Trump’s jet leaving America, it’s Trump spending campaign cash in Hoover mode.

“Some Republicans worry that the billionaire’s attention is divided between his businesses and his campaign.”

Any reason to believe that he differentiates between them?

I wonder if anyone working the renovation will get paid. Just sayin’.

The Scots do not suffer fools and phonies lightly. We traveled there last year, and their contempt for Trump was palpable.

Trump needs to add an earring, a neck tattoo, chip one of his front teeth, hoist a Budweiser and yell something about the sainted life of Dale Earnhardt. That is if he really wants to fit in with his followers. Oh, be sure to keep that hat on when you’re introduced to the Queen. Big points to be scored there.
