Good morning, folks. You know, some people wake up and check the weather. Me? I check the headlines — and today’s forecast out of Scotland was partly cloudy with a 100% chance of convicted felons. Let’s talk about that…
The National, a Scottish daily paper, made the now viral bold front‑page headline:
“CONVICTED US FELON TO ARRIVE IN SCOTLAND” (referring to Donald Trump).
That headline appeared on July 25, 2025, as former President Trump touched down in Scotland for a private visit, including trips to his new golf resort and trade meetings.
It specifically referred to his May 2024 conviction, where he was found guilty on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to hush-money payments — but received an unconditional discharge, meaning no prison time or fines. The conviction remains on his record.
The headline went viral and stirred widespread reaction — some applauded the blunt accuracy, while others criticized it as sensationalist. It became a front‑page talking point across social media and news sites worldwide.
=========================================================================
When Trump landed in Scotland on July 25, 2025, he ran into protests across Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and even on the Isle of Lewis. Crowds carried cheeky signs like “Pipe down Donald,” “Nae Trump,” and “Yer Maw was an immigrant you bam!” A banner on Lewis read “Shame on you, Donald John,” tying directly to his Scottish heritage. The protests were organized by groups like the Stop Trump Coalition and Democrats Abroad, with messages focused on climate damage from his golf developments, his immigration policies, his stance on Gaza, and his long shadow of ties to Epstein. Bagpipes and humor gave the protests a distinctly Scottish flavor.
Security at Turnberry was massive. Armed police, helicopters, dogs, and even an armored golf cart nicknamed “Golf Force One” followed him as he teed off. On-site, protests were minimal — partly because of how tightly controlled the area was. A small number of locals showed support, thanking him for jobs and tourism brought by his resorts.
Polling showed about 71 percent of Scots viewed Trump unfavorably. Still, he did have pockets of support around Turnberry and Prestwick Airport. Meanwhile, witty protest signs and coastal sand messages like “Get Trump Out” and “Free Palestine” underscored the mood.
That headline in The National — “Convicted US Felon to Arrive in Scotland” — set the tone and went viral, amplifying both ridicule and resistance.
===========================================================================
here are some of the sharpest, funniest, and most biting signs that Scots waved when Trump showed up:
-
“Yer Maw was an immigrant, you bam!”
-
“Pipe Down, Donald”
-
“Nae Trump”
-
“Convicted Felon, Unwelcome Guest”
-
“Aye, We’ve Got Our Own Problems — You’re Not Helping”
-
“Free Palestine, Jail Trump”
-
“Shame on You, Donald John” (using his full name, which hits hard in Scottish culture)
-
“You Can’t Golf Away Your Crimes”
-
“Golf Force None” (a cheeky twist on the armored cart nicknamed “Golf Force One”)
-
“Go Home, Yer Tea’s Oot” (a Scottish expression meaning “you’re done for”)
-
“Turnberry Doesn’t Want Ya”
-
“Trump, You’re a Weapon” (Scottish slang — not a compliment)
They mixed wit with bluntness, the kind of humor that cuts sharp but still gets a laugh.

[MUSIC UP — bagpipes droning in the background]
This just in from Scotland, where residents greeted the arrival of former U.S. President Donald J. Trump with all the warmth of a wet haggis.
The National headlined the visit: “Convicted US Felon to Arrive in Scotland.” Locals confirmed the paper was not exaggerating.
Crowds gathered in Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and the Isle of Lewis carrying signs that read: “Yer Maw was an immigrant, you bam!” and “Go Home, Yer Tea’s Oot!” One particularly creative protester scrawled “Golf Force None” in the Turnberry sand, in response to Trump’s armored golf cart nicknamed “Golf Force One.”
Security was tighter than a miser’s wallet, with helicopters, armed guards, and a cart that looked like it rolled straight out of a James Bond film — if James Bond were doing community service.
Polls show 71 percent of Scots view Trump unfavorably. The other 29 percent were unavailable for comment because they were busy apologizing to the neighbors.
From Scotland, this is your fake news flash. Now back to you in the studio.
[BAGPIPE OUTRO — a slightly off‑key version of “Send Him Home”]
“Alright folks, time to channel your inner Scot — on three, I want you all to give me your best ‘Go Home, Yer Tea’s Oot!’ Ready? One… two… three!”
[Pause to let the group yell it out.]
“Beautiful! Trump probably felt that all the way at Turnberry. Let’s do it one more time, louder, so it rattles his balls.”
Well, that’s the news from Scotland — bagpipes, bold headlines, and one very unwelcome tourist. Remember, folks, if you ever feel down, just picture Trump trying to sink a putt while a Scotsman yells, ‘Yer tea’s oot!’ That’s enough to keep anyone smiling.
========================================================================
Aha, it’s the Bardo bus and it’s here right on time! Climb aboard and let’s go!
===========================================================================
See You At The Top!!!
