Hundreds of people protested President Trump’s arrival on Saturday outside his resorts and in cities across Scotland, raising many of the same issues pressing him in Washington. As Trump played at his course in Turnberry, NPR reports, a demonstrator outside the US consulate in Edinburgh, the capital, asked, „Why on earth is this convicted felon allowed to come into our country and play golf when the people do not like him?“ A recent poll showed the president to be less popular in Scotland than he is in the UK overall; 57% of people in the UK reported having an unfavorable opinion of Trump, while 71% of respondents in Scotland said they feel the same way.
