There's a really good tradition on puting recognized people on Scottish banknotes. You don't even have to be Scottish (how inclusive is that!). I still have the Jack Nicklaus £5 note. Jack made a huge influence for golf in Scotland. Trump has not!

The best South Ayrshire links has been renamed "Trump Turnberry". That is huge influence. I'll drive past that signage today.

I once saw Tiger Woods in Troon. But I don't like to talk about it.

Trump tried to buy Aberdeenshire, not Ayreshire. Check your bloated and historical facts man!

We're having none of it now. The man Trump should be banned from Scotland. Most of us thought that anyway. Good for the economy? Fuck that!

No. You are wrong. Trump has never tried to buy Aberdeenshire (it is not for sale).

Trump did purchase the Menie Estate in Aberdeenshire (his second purchase in the North-East). It was a long time ago. For someone with such strong opinions on the subject,I am surprised you haven't heard the facts.

The Turnberry Hotel and its Links in Ayrshire (not Ayreshire) is nowcalled Trump Turnberry. That isn't a "bloated and historical fact" (whatever that is). It is simply a fact.

I am no fan of Trump and his property acquisitions or the way he treats his neighbours on the Menie Estate. I am simply stating facts.

You seem very angry. Maybe find a safe space and let it out. The rest of us have to get on with life and deal with its disappointments.
