Summary

Donald Trump condemned a vandalism attack at his Scottish golf course by activists, calling the perpetrators “terrorists” and demanding they be “treated harshly.”

The March 8 incident at Trump Turnberry included red paint, anti-Trump graffiti, and messages like “Gaza is not 4 sale.”

Police charged a 33-year-old man and arrested two others. Palestine Action claimed responsibility, citing U.S. complicity in Gaza’s destruction.

Activists criticized the leaders for focusing on property damage while Gaza faces ongoing bombardment.

    I dont give a rat’s ass about his stupid golf courses. Waste of good land, they should be turned into public parks. I’m more concerned with harsh punishment for the vandals that are destroying our country.

    Scotland should ban the 34 count felon from entering the country, seize that worthless golf course and return the land to nature.

      That golf course existed before Trump, since 1906 and should exist after him. But while he owns it, Scotland should put the priority its own citizens ahead of this whiny ass bitch - build wind farms, impose conservation orders, reject planning applications, deny US private / military flights to any airport anywhere close, And audit the ever living fuck out of the course. After all, it is owned by a convicted fraudster so who knows how the books are being cooked.

    Member when nobody wanted to call the terrorists who engaged in an actual terror attack on the Capitol building to prevent the peaceful transition of power on Jan 6 “terrorists” because they were worried that it was inflammatory language?

      I’m surprised the people who vandalized his golf course haven’t been accused of associating with ISIS.

      That is, after all, the real accusation. Illegally doing Brown Person Crimes.

      I remember. And I’ve been calling them terrorists since day one, since the term is appropriate. Also, I’ve been pointing out, when the right cries about the term “insurrectionist”, that that term is being far too nice.

          That, too, but they got especially butthurt over the term “insurrectionists” when The Media used it. I would not be surprised if donvict gets around to “investigating” the Very Nasty Liberal Media for using such terminology, TBH.

          In my view, calling them insurrectionists was downplaying it. And calling them “rioters” - fuck that noise. Riots are not planned.

      Drones definitely seems like a viable attack vector especially on a golf course. I wonder how they could even mitigate unless they had people constantly patrolling with jamming devices

    You know, if you just want to help the environment of Trump’s golf courses, and also not be arrested for trespassing, seeds are really cheap. Especially hearty grasses.

    The Scottish Newburg council should release a statement:

    “We need Trump International Golf for national security and international security. We need it. We have to have it. We never take military force off the table.”

      He’s not a terrible golfer, but nothing about his game is pretty. He plays like what he is. Somebody who plays a ton of golf but has always thought he was too good for lessons and won’t listen to advice.

        nothing about his game is pretty.

        Is that why he looks like he’s about to hack the tee out of the ground? Or is this just an awkward picture?
