This Is Why Lots Of Scottish People Hate Donald Trump [View all]

https://www.buzzfeed.com/hilarywardle/this-is-why-lots-of-scottish-people-hate-trump

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.
