There is a not 0 chance that he'll get shot on his holiday.

Lol. Not in Scotland he won't, not unless the Iranians send over a hit squad

You underestimate the resourcefulness of the average Scot. And how hated trump is there. There might not be a surplus of military gear, but people hunt deer and have access to some lovely rifles.

Umm I live here, and I am not underestimating how loathed he is, we detest him. I still don't think there's a periwinkles chance in a supernova that any of us will shoot him. That's more an American thing.

There will however almost certainly be creative chants at protests drawing links between him and Epstein and probably a lot of people calling him all sorts of names everywhere he goes.

The only way there will be violence is if his entourage starts something, we'll make sure we finish it.

As far as protests go, taking a plough or muck spreader to his golf course would be relatively effective.

Lol yeah that's been done. Someone also shat a big jobbie in several of the holes a few years back iirc
