President Donald Trump landed in Scotland Friday with tough love for Europe. He’s visiting his golf properties and meeting with European leaders but wasted no time calling out their crises. “You’re not going to have Europe anymore,” he warned, blasting unchecked immigration.
Trump called illegal immigration an “invasion” destroying Europe’s culture and safety. He pointed to his own border policies as proof America can control its borders. “On immigration, you better get your act together,” he demanded.
The former president also doubled down on his crusade against wind energy. “Stop the windmills!” he urged. Critics call them a blight on Europe’s landscapes, harming wildlife and economies.
While there, Trump avoided discussing his unresolved legal battles at home and his troubling ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Instead, he focused on possible EU trade deals. He pegged chances of an agreement at “50/50,” threatening tariffs if talks fail.
Protesters across Scotland plan to rally against Trump’s visit. They’re targeting his luxury golf resorts and holding demonstrations in cities like Edinburgh. Critics claim his visit clashes with his volatile rhetoric.
Trump’s latest project—a new 18-hole course honoring his Scottish-born mother—is set to open. It’s part of his business expansion while facing political headwinds abroad.
Back home, Trump faces scrutiny over his Epstein connections. But in Europe, he’s doubling down on the issues that fueled his 2016 campaign—immigration control, energy security, and American sovereignty.
European leaders warn of retaliatory measures if a trade deal collapses. Meanwhile, Trump’s hardline stance on borders and green energy resonates with his base, framing him as a global leader standing up to leftist policies.
