The American media probably will underplay Trump’s five-day visit to Scotland. We can hope, though, that with Trump dogged by the Epstein scandal, the American media will keep up the pressure and give us a good look at the protests that are planned.
According to the best information I’ve been able to find, Trump will arrive at Glasgow Prestwick airport today at 8:20 p.m. Scotland time, which is 3:20 p.m. in New York and Washington. I believe he is to travel in a heavily armed motorcade from Glasgow to Aberdeenshire and Trump’s Turnberry golf resort.
Scottish media have reported that the presidential armed limousine, “the Beast,” has already arrive in Scotland. According to Sky News, “Turnberry, and its population of about 200 people, have this week witnessed a never-ending stream of Army trucks, terrorist sweeps, road checkpoints, airspace restrictions, sniper positions being erected and Secret Service agents roaming around.”
If the American media let us down on this spectacle, the British media won’t. You can check the web sites of at least four Scottish newspapers — Herald Scotland, the Scotsman, the National, and the Aberdeen Press & Journal. For video, remember Sky News, which you can stream from Pluto TV, and, as far as I know, on YouTube. And of course there’s always the BBC.
