Trump waved at protesters in Scotland as they shouted "No Trump, No KKK, No Racist USA!"

From the capital of Edinburgh to seaside golf resorts, thousands in Scotland staged colorful, peaceful protests against President Donald Trump on Saturday as he played golf at one of his luxury retreats.

On the beach outside the resort, a dozen demonstrators staged a "protest picnic," chanting "Trump is a racist! Trump is a liar!" as hotel guests played golf just 100 yards away. A line of police, some on horseback, separated the protesters from the golf course. Snipers were also perched atop a nearby tower overlooking the vast property.

Mr. Trump and first lady Melania Trump are spending the weekend out of the spotlight at his Scottish golf resort at Turnberry, on the western coast, ahead of his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday.

Trump hits the links and waves at protesters
Mr. Trump is hitting the links at the Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland where he is spending the weekend.

Some journalists saw the president playing golf. BBC reporter Frankie McCamley posted footage on Twitter of Mr. Trump -- dressed in black and wearing a white cap -- waving at protesters in the distance as they shouted "No Trump, No KKK, No Racist USA!"

Mr. Trump then resumes his game.

Apparently that really gets under Donnie Two Scoops's skin.

We should start a GoFundMe account to build several here in the states to have available to fly wherever he's holding a rally (on the taxpayers' dime).
