With the stench of a potential pardon for his pimp pal Ghislaine Maxwell stinking up the states, the president has decamped for a four-day trip to Scotland, the country where his mother was born. As a convicted felon is he even allowed in? Guess so! And he got a hearty Scottish welcome: crowds of protesters everywhere he went, holding cheeky signs, pictures of Jeffrey Epstein, and blowing their bagpipes at him.

Unsure what “HOPE YER NEXT JOBBY IS A HEDGEHOG” means exactly, but it doesn’t sound pleasant.

They used to like him somewhat over there! He was named a business ambassador, and was given an honorary degree. Trump’s mother Mary Anne MacLeod was an immigrant from Scotland, English was her second language, and Scots Gaelic was her first. (“Carson a dh'fheumas mi aon a bhrùthadh airson Beurla?” means “Why do I have to press one for English?”) Weird how Trump and all his kids except Tiffany are anchor babies, by his own definition. The resemblance between Trump and his late mother is uncanny.



. . .

Playing golf, embarrassing the US on the world stage with nonsensical rants, and getting praise for doing things to (partially) unfuck a mess that he himself made, yep, that’s all on brand for him. America’s power is shorted out and blowin’ in the wind, but at least during his time on the golf course he’s occupied with something besides finding new things to fuck up!

Wasting taxpayer money to golf and hold the grand opening for one of his courses! Why should we have to pay M just for him to play a game of golf??

Wall Street Journal reporter Josh Dawsey worked with co-authors Isaac Arnsdorf and Tyler Pager to gather information about President Donald Trump from his 2024 campaign for their book. Among the things they found was an admission from Trump that the Secret Service makes it more difficult for him to cheat a golf.

Over the weekend, videos captured Trump's two caddies walking ahead of Trump's golf cart before one caddy appears to drop a ball on the course. Trump then hops out of the golf cart and walks to the ball as if it were there the whole time. The person Trump appeared to be playing with was following in his cart and walked over to the ball with Trump.

According to Dawsey, the team captured audio of Trump complaining that the Secret Service is in the trees and bushes all over his golf course as security — and measure shown to be necessary when a man was accused of shooting at Trump through a fence in Sept. 2024 while he was playing at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida.

According to Trump, the agents being in the trees at his courses "made it harder to move the ball when he had a bad lie," wrote Dawsy on X.

“I hit a ball down the fairway, it's in a little rough, and there's a guy standing behind a tree, 'Good morning, sir.' And I got a ball with a horrible lie. I'd go like this. Nobody would know the difference. I can't because, he said, they're all looking down at me horrible. It's a horrible situation to be in," Trump said of his security during his games.
