and culture since 1913

All hail Emperor Trump

As Donald Trump visits Scotland, world leaders – including Keir Starmer – flock to pay tribute at the emperor’s feet.


The US President is on a 4-day trip to his golf courses in Scotland. He has met with Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, and UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
