So, you may have noticed that whenever Donald Trump visits Scotland, he gets a bit of a negative reception.

People rubbing balloons on his hair, calling him a cunt and a bawbag, mercilessly trolling him on Twitter. That sort of thing. It's been going on for years, way before he became president. So, what's up?

It started in 2006 when Trump decided to buy an estate in Aberdeenshire and turn it into a golf resort. But there were some sand dunes standing in his way.

1. I love the Scottish population!

I knew there was a reason I liked them. And it wasn’t just for the Scotch whiskey

[TexLaProgressive]

27. Whisky no e

[Jerry2144]

38. I speel verrry god

Let me just do something easier to spell. Like them for more than just the booze

[druidity33]

56. actually it's spelled ouisge. So there is an e. nt.

[TexLaProgressive]

58. uisce na beatha In Irish - literally the water of life - 2 es

[druidity33]

59. The english spelling is variable...

i've seen it spelled uisghe, uisce, uisge... all of which have an e.

[TexLaProgressive]

60. My brother in law's Irish mother in law keep a jar of Poitn in her pantry

It was labeled “Holy Water.”

[druidity33]

63. I love single malts...

but my paycheck doesn't support them. I had a bottle of Oban 12 year that i nursed for a few years. Lately i've been on a rye kick. Bulliet is pretty good, whistlepig is slightly better, to my taste. But i do miss having a bottle on hand for the occasional nip o' the fine stuff

Wait, wouldn't your brother-in-law's mother-in-law be your mother?

[maddiemom]

84. His wife's brother's wife's mother? OR....?

[Maine Abu El Banat]

62. Actually

Merriam- Webster list it with an E, and the e-less version as a variant. This is a place where we can share our ideals. It's not English class.

[TexLaProgressive]

72. Ease up, we're just having a bit of fun with words.

[Maeve]

70. Agreed--the rule is the whisk*y has an e IF the country does

Ireland--whiskey
America--whiskey
Scotland--whisky
Canada--whisky

[TexLaProgressive]

71. Is that true, Maeve, if so I love it.

[Maeve]

73. Would I say it if it wasn't?

Look for yourself the next time you're in the liquor store! It doesn't work with all countries, but it is true for those big 4 producers.(Even if you use "United States" instead of "America" )

[TexLaProgressive]

74. My deepest apologies, dear Maeve, for doubting. I love it even more, now.

I don’t imbibe anymore, as a long time diabetic. It messes with my blood glucose management.
If I were going to drink alcoholic beverages it would be some type of barley malt, with or without the e. No corn likker for this boy. Does that make me unAmerican?

[Maeve]

80. I didn't mean to sound abrupt or say "Google it"

Just coming off an Irish festival weekend and answering a question with a question is part of that hangover...not fond of corn likker, myself, and me raised with folks who could find a still if wanted.

Knowing about whisk*y is part of explaining Irish culture, so it's what I do. As for "unAmerican"--that would be a term for trump-humpers, not a DUer!

[ChazInAz]

37. As do I!

Their subtle, refined protest signs are a delight.

[Haggard Celine]

2. I can relate.

Trump.brings out my ugly side. Hate the motherfucker.

[BigDemVoter]

9. Same here.

He brings out the absolute worst in me.

[Collimator]

51. This is because. . .

(And I have said this on numerous occasions) he is the anti-Mr. Rogers-- not the anti-Christ, as some have proclaimed. This grants him too much power and would probably appeal to his deluded sense of grandeur.

He is the anti-Mr. Rogers in that he brings out the worst in everyone, including those who stand in opposition to him. Finding a way to fight him and not coming away covered in his filth is the challenge of our time. Not being the praying sort myself, I can only suggest ruminating on the spirit of the actual Mr. Rogers.

Of course, when dealing with someone as reeking and slimy as Trump, it may be necessary to evoke Mr. Rogers, the Mahatma Gandhi, the Dalai Lama and possibly Mr. Spock in an attempt to maintain one's composure and integrity.

[TigressDem]

77. OMG. This makes sense and hurts my heart.

tRump IS opposite of everything the Christ stood for, so he IS "an" Anti-Christ mascot if nothing else.

BUT you are so right that the way he brings out the worst in everyone even those who oppose his horrible ways.

My only solace is that time Christ lost it and threw the money changers out of the Temple. People who were cheating those who came to make offerings to God out of their money by monkeying with the exchange rate like a casino owner rigs the system got the carpenter's son pissed. HUGE wooden tables were thrown out of the temple and their owners given the boot as well.

The Pharisees who gave lip service to being faithful servants of God while doing unspeakable things in private also got stern words from Christ.

So if even Christ lost it when rich people walk into the home of the Lord and do dirty business and/or pretend to have the higher authority; then at least we get upset at the same things.

BUT because tRump's hold on US is so extreme, finding the peaceful path is even more important to not lose oneself in the process.

The Repuke "trickle down" leaves us all covered in snot and piss from their uncontrolled spewing of lies and threats of violence.

[Coventina]

4. Heh. Some good signs in there!!!

My favorite:

"I'd call Trump a c**t, but he lacks warmth and depth."
(Held by a woman)

[riversedge]

5. yes. so many originals

[SergeStorms]

20. My favorite as well.

I broke out laughing when I read that one. The dog thinks I'm crazy. She's probably correct.

[bahboo]

24. ditto haha....

they do know how to throw insults across the pond....

[BigmanPigman]

41. That was my favorite...

I must remember it for future protests. My previous favorite was a sign from the Women's March that said, "What does tRump have in common with women?, they both have 2 boobs". This was accompanied by a photo of Eric and Don Jr.

[Coventina]

43. Haha! Good one!! n/t

[dameatball]

6. Ha! I just learned what a jobby was.

[Pinback]

25. One of my faves

I remember when the original protests were happening, somebody addressed him as “ya big jobby.”

[dameatball]

36. It fits!

[wnylib]

42. I had to look it up. Yup, it fits.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. Dear Scottish cousins: If he shows up again, please toss him to Nessie.

[Aristus]

21. Sorry. Nessie is protected under Scottish law, and that likely counts as animal abuse.

n/t

[PatSeg]

8. Wow, no one does insults like the Scottish!

"Never trust a man whose tie is longer than his vocabulary." So many good ones!

[appmanga]

29. And for those who don't know...

..."fanny" in U.K. English doesn't refer to the rump, but to the vajayjay.

[Delphinus]

39. Oh,

thank you, I did NOT know!

[PatSeg]

44. Whoa, ouch!

I thought it was just an acronym after reading some of the signs. I hope Trump knows what it means.

[soldierant]

49. Yes, that's your warning that,

for instance, "The Adventures of Fanny Hill" is X-rated.

However, that isn't the meaning in the case of "Sweet Fanny Adams" - a real child - a true story both terribly sad and serribly gruesome.

[2naSalit]

64. +1

[Skittles]

10. sorry Scotland, but I am fairly certain I have hated Trump long before you did

yes INDEED

[Chellee]

12. Agreed. I hated him in the 80's.

I would have hated him earlier than that, but I was a fairly sheltered child and hadn't heard of him yet.

[Skittles]

14. I remember thinking he and Ivana were a grotesquely gaudy couple

and HE has always seemed like an insufferable narcissist

[Chellee]

30. If you can stomach it, go back and watch his and Marla Maples interview when Tiffany was born.

All he says is that he plans to have nothing to do with her until she's an adult, because children are boring. And muse about Tiffany's potentially large breasts and long legs. And Marla just beams at him, like he's said something clever.

He has ALWAYS been nauseating.

[Skittles]

34. he makes me sick

I remember reading about him telling the father of a 10 year old girl, I'll be dating her in ten years......THIS I know: MY dad would have made him VERY SORRY INDEED if he had said that to him

[2naSalit]

65. Same here...

Long before he decided to fuck with Scotland.

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Good post. Nice to know the depth of world-wide hatred for the Fascist. MSM can you start calling

him what he is FCS?? He's a fucking sociopathic fascist. There can be no doubt after the last 6 years. When someone tells you who they are, BELIEVE THEM.

[Turbineguy]

13. Trump eats this shit up

he loves being famous. He doesn't care who hates him as long as his rubes worship him.

[SergeStorms]

22. And now he can claim he's being persecuted......

for the ten thousandth time. Poor me! Alas, poor me.

[Traildogbob]

15. That's some

Damn fine free speakin’ there ya’ll. More please. Fuck the under appreciated MAGA’s at the local diners. Interview these fine people MSM. Allies. With brains! Concerned rural people.

[peggysue2]

16. Kudos to the Scots

They know an asshole when they see one!

[KT2000]

17. True artists

of the insults. They have so many good words for frump.

[whathehell]

69. ..Not if you favor originality

over ugly, old gender slurs.

[KT2000]

87. I would say

they can be quite original:

[whathehell]

89. Maybe

but ugly old gender slurs are not.

[samnsara]

18. my dtrs new in laws live in Aberdeen...man o man do they hate trump

[H2O Man]

19. Recommended.

[Warpy]

23. I never get tired of posting this one

There was a farm in his way, too, well his way of a perfect view.

[Drum]

47. Lolzlolzlolz!

[geardaddy]

78. Love it!

[littlemissmartypants]

66. I'm confused.

What does this have to do with the Scots hating Trump? I don't get it. ❤

[sarge43]

28. Scots are zen masters of snark and in yo face sarcasm.

Alba gu brath.

[iluvtennis]

31. Absolutely love this - thanks so much for posting!! n/t

[Snackshack]

32. I'm partial to

The last image.

I think that captures it best.

[dalton99a]

33. Kick

[IronLionZion]

35. Depth and warmth

[mactire]

40. trump trip to golf courses in Scotland and Ireland

Apparently tfg intends to golf in 2 places he is not liked nor wanted, at the end of this month, in Ireland and Scotland where he owns golf clubs. Musicians in many pubs will be singing the song by Richard Thompson (2015) that mocks trump, “ Fergus Laing”, and Glasgow comedian Janey Godley has 4 special words for the big-lying loser. Thankfully I’ll miss him by a few days in the west of Ireland and hope his stench is not lingering for long.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

45. Best Bunch of anti-DJT signs ever!

[Wild blueberry]

46. Thank you, Scotland!

[CentralMass]

48. A fine people those Scotts.

[UTUSN]

50. My take: Because he eschews his Scottish (mother) side (also German) & claims to be "Swedish"?

[Cha]

52. lol & omg! I can relate!

Link to tweet

[burrowowl]

53. Good signs!

[onetexan]

54. Ditto, love the signs!! Love the Scots!!

[Vinca]

55. So proud of my Scottish roots after seeing this post!

[wolfie001]

57. Great!!!

So witty and spot on!

[Paladin]

61. "Never Trust A Man Whose Tie Is Longer Than His Vocabulary"

Now there's a sign caption that needs to go world-wide!

So proud of the Scots, and of my Scots heritage.

[Glaisne]

67. Just call me a Y.A.N.N.Y.

Yank Against Neo Nazi Yanks!

[Submariner]

68. Will Trump bring the Saudi Golf League to Scotland

for a LIV tournament?

The locals would probably love that.

Do you think the Secret Service would protect Agent Orange from a ballon hair rub from a jolly drunk Scotsman?

[BComplex]

75. Hahahaha! "A Reakin' Jobby"!!! Hahaha!

[librechik]

76. Something about Go bile yr hid

That's my latest Scots curse. Until today. Thank you, thread!

[moondust]

79. So the brainwashing is not universal?

[Scottie Mom]

81. My Scottie Abigail fully approves and...

...joins in!

[Frustratedlady]

82. Yea! My "relatives" are even more special.

I have a good quantity of Scottish blood rushing through my veins and this collection of comments makes me proud.

You go, Scots!

[LymphocyteLover]

83. and one more reason I love Scotland!

[ailsagirl]

85. Beautiful!!!

[whathehell]

86. A festival of ugly old gender slurs..

..So witty and original.

[Ohio Joe]

88. I had to look up bawbag...

Heh... It fits
