This denunciation of Trump tells you all you need to know about what kind of a man he really is

The Scotsman has today run a brutal denunciation of Donald Trump in its leader comment ahead of the President’s trip to Turnberry.

Trump arrived in the UK yesterday and will meet Theresa May at Chequers today before heading to Scotland for a planned golf trip.

With huge protests expected in London it looks like the President can expect a similarly frosty reception in Scotland, with Nicola Sturgeon saying people living north of the border “stand united” against him.

The sentiment was echoed in the country’s national newspaper that used strong language in its editorial today.

The piece, which described the President as an “appalling human being, a racist, a serial liar, and either a sex abuser or someone who falsely brags about being one in the apparent belief that this will impress other men in a metaphorical “locker room””, takes aim at Trump for his Muslim ban and mistreatment of several other nationalities.

It also points out that despite Trump constantly decrying “fake news” the President lies an average of 6.5 times a day.
