US President Donald Trump was questioned by reporters as he went back out on the golf course this morning for a chilly second morning of his golf holiday in Scotland
Donald Trump waved to a tiny group of supporters shouting “we love Trump” and “don’t trust Starmer” at his Scottish golf course this morning. The US President was back out on the course this morning for a chilly second morning of his golf holiday in Scotland. He was seen on his Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire, being transported between holes in a motorcade of 26 golf carts and one small secret service vehicle. His son Eric was with him on the course. Later this afternoon he’ll meet with European Commission President Ursula Von Der Leyen to discuss the trading relationship between the US and Europe. Asked by reporters shouting over the fence if he’ll get a deal with the EU, Mr Trump said cryptically: “50-50.”

There was no sign of anti-Trump protesters outside the golf course this morning – three British Trump fans were out on the hill next to Turnberry. They wore Make America Great Again hats, waved small US flags and held a sign that read “Don’t trust Starmer”. Trump waved and blew a kiss towards the fans before he took his shot. Tom English, one of the group who had travelled from Blackburn, said: “I can’t believe we’re the only ones, to be fair. I thought there’d be more people.” Asked why he’d travelled so far to support the leader of another country, Mr English said: “I’ve just loved him from day one when he ran. I like the way he speaks, his personality, the comedy gold he comes out with. He had me at Rosie O’Donnell to be honest with you.” Ms O’Donnell has been the target of a long running campaign of abuse by Trump, who earlier this month threatened to revoke her citizenship. “I’ve supported him all the way through. It’s just because he’a not one of them, basically. He came in, said he’s going to drain the swamp, end the deep state and that’s what he’s trying to do.” Keir Starmer is expected come to Turnberry to talk trade, Gaza and Ukraine tomorrow.
