Old Man Goes To Scotland, Yells At Wind, Maybe Cheats At Golf -- Wonkette [View all]

With the stench of a potential pardon for his pimp pal Ghislaine Maxwell stinking up the states, the president has decamped for a four-day trip to Scotland, the country where his mother was born. As a convicted felon is he even allowed in? Guess so! And he got a hearty Scottish welcome: crowds of protesters everywhere he went, holding cheeky signs, pictures of Jeffrey Epstein, and blowing their bagpipes at him.

Unsure what “HOPE YER NEXT JOBBY IS A HEDGEHOG” means exactly, but it doesn’t sound pleasant.

They used to like him somewhat over there! He was named a business ambassador, and was given an honorary degree. Trump’s mother Mary Anne MacLeod was an immigrant from Scotland, English was her second language, and Scots Gaelic was her first. (“Carson a dh'fheumas mi aon a bhrùthadh airson Beurla?” means “Why do I have to press one for English?”) Weird how Trump and all his kids except Tiffany are anchor babies, by his own definition. The resemblance between Trump and his late mother is uncanny.

Playing golf, embarrassing the US on the world stage with nonsensical rants, and getting praise for doing things to (partially) unfuck a mess that he himself made, yep, that’s all on brand for him. America’s power is shorted out and blowin’ in the wind, but at least during his time on the golf course he’s occupied with something besides finding new things to fuck up!
