The Scotsman has today run a brutal denunciation of Donald Trump in its leader comment ahead of the President’s trip to Turnberry.
Trump arrived in the UK yesterday and will meet Theresa May at Chequers today before heading to Scotland for a planned golf trip.
With huge protests expected in London it looks like the President can expect a similarly frosty reception in Scotland, with Nicola Sturgeon saying people living north of the border “stand united” against him.
The sentiment was echoed in the country’s national newspaper that used strong language in its editorial today.
The piece, which described the President as an “appalling human being, a racist, a serial liar, and either a sex abuser or someone who falsely brags about being one in the apparent belief that this will impress other men in a metaphorical “locker room””, takes aim at Trump for his Muslim ban and mistreatment of several other nationalities.
It also points out that despite Trump constantly decrying “fake news” the President lies an average of 6.5 times a day.

Since you are here
Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.
Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.
Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
