Trump’s Mother’s Country’s Leader Says Vote Harris–To His Fury

Trump has two golf courses in Scotland.

Donald Trump’s Scottish company, which runs his golf courses in the country, has called First Minister of Scotland John Swinney’s endorsement of Kamala Harris “appalling,” according to the BBC. “People in the United States of America should vote for Kamala Harris,” Swinney said to reporters earlier this week. “And I’ve not come to that conclusion only because Donald Trump is opposed to Scottish independence.” (Trump, whose mother was born and raised in Scotland before emigrating to the United States, said on the Flagrant podcast earlier this month that he hopes Scotland stays with the United Kingdom.) Trump International Scotland subsequently released a statement condemning Swinney‘s support of Trump’s rival. “The Trump family has shown unwavering commitment to Scotland—pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into the Scottish economy—and driving many tens of thousands of international visitors to Scotland every year,” spokeswoman Sarah Malone said. “It is appalling to see the first minister, who talks of the need to encourage economic growth, insult this commitment and all the people involved in delivering world-class services here in Scotland.”
