What some of Trump

Balmedie, Scotland – President Trump must reach Scotland Friday for a four -day private trip, the first in the United Kingdom since it was re -elected. The White House says he will meet near the end of his visit with Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss trade, but will also open a new field in Trump International Golf links.

Located in the steep Coast of Scotland, it is an incredibly beautiful place, and it is easy to see why Trump was anxious to buy the site more than a decade ago and develop it in a world -class golf club.

But as News themezone learned when speaking with the locals, many struggle to separate the policy of his Green’s US president.

David Milne bought his former coastal guard on the coast of Aberdeenshire more than 20 years ago, and still lives there today. But since 2012, it has been just in the middle of Trump’s territory, surrounded by hundreds of chive sand dunes that have been meticulously sculpted in 36 holes in which anyone can play a round, for about $ 500.

Milne is not happy with her new neighbor.

“It is always the second best for what had originally,” he told News themezone. “When I entered here, this landscape was not touched … now it’s just a golf course.”

Trump bought the land for the first time in 2006, and during development he also offered to buy some of the places in the neighbors, but Milne refused to sell.

In 2011, Mr. Trump said he did not like the aspect of Milne’s property anyway.

“Who cares,” the future president told The Golf Channel, pointing to Milne’s house. “We are trying to build the best course in the world. The house is ugly.”

When asked what the land means for him and his family, Milne said it was much more than a picturesque coast patch.

“The earth is what is Scotland. Not only financially, it is in the soul of the Scottish people too. It is where we come from and where we return,” he said.

The visit to Scotland is also a return home for Trump. His mother, born Mary Anne Macleod in 1912, grew up on the Scottish Hebridean de Lewis island. He called one of his courses in Aberdeenshire after her.

Trump has been received with protests in previous visits, and vandalism in his golf courses has taken a political tone in recent months.

Tommy Campbell, a veteran union activist in Scotland, told News themezone that he was planning to lead another protest during the visit of the US leader this weekend, with a clear message for Mr. Trump:

“You are not welcome here,” he said. “The policies he represents completely disagree with what we value here.”

A survey conducted in February found that about 70% of the Scots have an unfavorable opinion of President Trump. In the town near their golf links, News themezone spoke with the members of a walking club, which suddenly suddenly.

“The way he treated the neighbors and owners, I think that was badly influenced,” said a woman.

But the course uses more than 80 people, and the White House says it has had a positive economic impact on the area.

A local man, a golfer, told News themezone that the business that Mr. Trump has done: “From a golf perspective, it is fantastic.”

“Not saying that the protests are not well,” he added. “Some of the things would agree with the protesters, but I think there is a moment and a place for it, and it is not in the golf course.”

The opinions about President Trump are a bit like the climate in Aberdeenshire. But fair or disgusting, in the real Scottish fashion, they are unlikely to stop a good round of golf.
