Question on tRUMP

I'm on a LA Beach cam site an while there i read some comments below. One comment was about the Scottish parliament. Stating that tRUMP could run for the Scottish parliament? Is this even possible? I know he has property over there. Or is this FALSE NEWS? The site i'm watching is this one.

partly because of his golf courses which have made many of the locals furious, not just because they always lose millions and Trump didn't live up to any of his promises as he pushed small people aside, but also because Trump is trying to rape the environment over there. That, and they hate him simply for all the other reasons he is hated. He couldn't win an election for dog catcher in Scotland.

It's such a beautiful place. I hope he loses his golf clubs! I remember how he fought environmental rules and then went ahead and broke them anyway, IIRC.

My siblings and many cousins have obtained an Irish passport and have dual Irish and American citizenship. It is an easy process once we produce our Irish grandparent's Irish birth certificates to the Irish government.

Don't know if Scotland is the same.

As in the House of Commons, a number of qualifications apply to being an MSP. Such qualifications were introduced under the House of Commons Disqualification Act 1975 and the British Nationality Act 1981. Specifically, members must be over the age of 18 and must be a citizen of the United Kingdom, the Republic of Ireland, one of the countries in the Commonwealth of Nations, a citizen of a British overseas territory, or a European Union citizen resident in the UK. Members of the police and the armed forces are disqualified from sitting in the Scottish Parliament as elected MSPs, and similarly, civil servants and members of foreign legislatures are disqualified. An individual may not sit in the Scottish Parliament if he or she is judged to be insane under the terms of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) (Scotland) Act 2003.
