It’s Scotland. It’s golf. Bad weather is pretty much to be expected. If you’re a serious golfer, that’s part of the “sport”, and if you’re not, it’s an excuse to stay back at the clubhouse and drink whisky.

There’s a golf course near where I work in the Seattle area. A while back some colleagues from Texas were visiting here.
They decided to go for a round of golf and it started raining. Apparently they went back to the clubhouse and asked for a raincheck and were laughed at for doing so.
(And yeah, golf isn’t a sport. It’s an activity.)

The twist is that trump is doing the doorstep shitting personally, the lawyers are just there for a lookout.
Some of Scotland hates him, the rest just think he’s a wanker.

Do you think it would work if it was the other way around?

Can’t we send him to St Helena like they did with Napolean?

This is a great reason to legally limit the amount of property a person or corporation can own. Just a hard stop at a certain acreage. There’s only so much fucking world, and no douchebag should be able to control what happens on more than their share of it. Coastlines and individual municipalities should have their own, severe sub-limits to control influence.

OMG, that was delightful! And if you want to see art predicting life, find a copy of Local Hero, from 1983. Trump is played by Burt Lancaster, an eccentric oil exec who sends Jared Kushner (played by Peter Riegert) to buy the coastal village of Furness to site a new refinery complex. The entire village succumbs to the lure of big, quick cash – “We won’t have anywhere to call home, but we’ll be stinkin’ rich” – except for Michael Forbes (Ben Knox, played by Fulton McKay), who owns most of the beach and resists all inducements. Oh, and don’t forget the wild party and boat load of Russians!
Unlike real life, this story has a happy ending, as everyone finds a way to have what they want. The film is an under-noticed jewel, featuring Mark Knopfler’s first film score; a very young Peter Capaldi’s second film role; Dennis Lawson (Wedge from Star Wars, Ewen McGregor’s uncle); delightful mermaid/researcher Jenny Seagrove (Jo Mills from Judge John Mills); and many other fine characters and actors.
It’s not the same as a golden showers party, but the scenes where Trump’s paid abuser show up are a real tickle, esp. these days. Great photography. A wonderful, haunting, poetic score. Written and directed by Bill Forsythe, won the '84 BAFTA for directing. Also honored by having an asteroid named after the Trump-like character Mr. Happer. And source of a line that everyone should use when encountering a hotel that can’t squeeze in two more people: “We have an injured rabbit also.”
Come for the local scenery, stay for the ceilihd.

What did the people who live on St Helena do to deserve that?
I just found out that Rockall is part of the parish of Harris, so let’s send him there.
Trump can be happy that he now lives in the neighbouring parish to where his mother was born and the rest of the world can be happy that he is stuck on a rock hundreds of miles from anyone else
Actually he cut off their water instead, “accidentally” I’m sure …
