'Scotland is already great.' Protesters troll Trump on his golfing trip

As President Trump kicked off a weekend of golfing in his late mother's home country, hundreds of protesters rallied outside his resorts and in cities across Scotland — abseiling off a bridge, waving Palestinian flags and chanting for the U.S. president to be deported.

At a demonstration on Saturday outside the U.S. consulate in the capital Edinburgh, one protester held Scottish bagpipes in one arm, and a sign in the other. "At least this bag of hot air serves a purpose," it read. Another waved a banner saying "Scotland is already great"— a riff off Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.
