Donald Trump arrived in Scotland yesterday to discuss important political issues with equally important European political figures. However, his arrival did not cause positive reactions from the public in Scotland, who are outraged by the arrival of the US leader.
Citizens in Edinburgh and Aberdeen decided to protest, but whats especially interesting is that only one protester showed up in front of Trumps golf course.
Mat Halliday from Stranraer decided to raise his voice against Trump.
However, he shared the frustrations of being the only demonstrator.
The 55-year-old brought with him two banners: one with a picture of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, and the other showing a set of bagpipes.
The message read: "TRUMP GO HOME: The only "blowhard" pumped up windbags that we want to listen to are these bad boys".

Haliday's views
In an interview with British media, Halliday expressed his concerns about the Republican leader, accusing him of reversing the rights of women and minorities and pointing out several things Trump has banned.
"I'm here to show my displeasure at Trump being here. I just find him morally repugnant. I see what he's doing in the states, rolling back civil rights for women and minorities, people getting lifted from their houses, Medicaid getting taken away - and he comes here and thinks he's got the authority to pontificate to us."- he said, as quoted by the Mirror.
A group of protesters also gathered in Aberdeen, showing impressive creativity in the way they called out the US President.
Donald Trump had a huge police presence at his golf course, and Halliday pointed out that all the money spent on his security comes straight from the budget.

People spoke out against his visit, and some said he cares more about golf than serious political issues that affect not just Americans, but people all over the world.
