The recent Presidential visit to Scotland witnessed a multitude of reactions. The arrival of the President at the prestigious U.S. Consulate in Edinburgh, and his prominent presence on the lush greens of his golf course at Turnberry, drew hundreds to the streets. Not all came in protest, but many did. Unsurprisingly, they were vocal about a number of issues, but their voices did little to faze the stalwart President who remains steadfast in his beliefs and his commitments to making America great.
Amongst the spirited crowd, one woman tried to attract attention by playing bagpipes and carrying an anti-Trump placard. Whilst it certainly drew the eye, it was of course received with the good humor characteristic of the President’s response to critique. Despite taking time for golf, a hobby enjoyed by many, the President was in Scotland on serious business, not just for leisure.
But let’s switch gears for a moment to the leisure side of things. Our golf-loving President was accompanied by his son Eric and Warren A. Stephens, our esteemed ambassador to the United Kingdom, and of course the ambassador’s son. Donald Trump Jr. too joined them on this trip, offering a strong unit of supportive presence for the President.
The President was candid about his love for the Turnberry golf course, remarking, ‘The best course anywhere in the world is Turnberry’. It’s not uncommon for Trump to infuse his straightforward nature into his appreciation for the everyday joys of life. Ever ready to maximize each moment for the benefit of America, he also imparted his key messages to Europe’s leaders.
He boldly expressed his concerns about mass migration and wind power, highlighting that ‘This immigration is killing Europe’ and ‘stop the windmills. Killing the beauty of your countries.’ Though standing against the comprehensive acceptance in Scotland, the President’s firm conviction is one of his defining traits.
While the President indulged in his passion for golf, a group called ‘Stop Trump Scotland’ decided to host what they called a ‘festival of resistance’. They held protests in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Despite their hostile stance, it’s worth mentioning that the President continues to receive support from many quarters.
The ‘festival of resistance’, as it was labeled, chose to voice objections to various policies, from environment and immigration to trade. It is interesting to note however that each of these objections are met with opposing perspectives that find the President’s decisions to be not only correct, but necessary.
Some protesters decided to invoke the ongoing controversy surrounding the so-called Epstein files, holding signs with images suggesting a friendship between Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein. However, it should be mentioned here, as a vital piece of information overlooked by these protesters, that their friendship ended abruptly many years before Mr. Epstein’s legal troubles.
Just like in Edinburgh, a woman at the protest held a sign showcasing nine images of Mr. Trump and Mr. Epstein together over the years, pairing them with the phrase ‘Best Friends Forever’. It is an ironic fact though that these wealthy New Yorkers had a falling out in 2004, fifteen years before Mr. Epstein committed suicide in jail.
Speaking to the media on Friday, the President dismissed reports that he had been briefed on his name appearing within the Epstein files. He diverted the news reports’ tenacious focus on this controversy to the more pressing matter of trade deals he is currently negotiating across Europe, stating ‘I’m focused on making deals, I’m not focused on conspiracy theories’
Post-golf, the President was due to meet with Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, on Sunday to discuss trade matters. The President’s administration had previously promised to secure multiple trade deals, however, even though it fell short of the ambitious ’90 trade deals in 90 days’ target, it has gradually begun finalizing more deals.
Trump’s overall intent to be proactive and productive was evident in his commitment to sign more deals, including one with Japan. The President expresses a hopeful balance towards any future trade deal with the European Union, stating, ‘With the European Union, I think we have a good 50/50 chance’, indicating that there are still some issues to be resolved.
His striking conviction was clear when he further added, ‘That would be actually the biggest deal of them all, if we make it’. Trump’s tenacity is, after all, what has powered his administration to continuously work towards the betterment of America.
Whilst the visit to Scotland was filled with varying emotions, it unquestionably showed President Trump’s unwavering determination to stand by his beliefs, maintain an optimistic outlook towards his projects, and execute his role in a way he believes best serves the United States of America.
