US ambassador said Donald Trump's abrasive style came from Scottish heritage Woody Johnson said Trump 'speaks in very clear and unusual way' for a politician The US president is due to come to Britain for talks with Theresa May on July 13 Critics have vowed a 'carnival of protests' on the streets when he visits the UK
Donald Trump rubs people up the wrong way because he is so Scottish, the US ambassador suggested today.
Woody Johnson said the US president's 'tough and argumentative' streak came from his heritage in Scotland.
The claim came as Mr Johnson shrugged off the prospect of mass protests against Mr Trump when he visits the UK on July 13.
The trip was finally confirmed last night after months of wrangling between Downing Street and the White House.
Officials were thought to have been looking at whether to stage some or all of visit away from London to avoid it being marred by demonstrations.
There has been speculation Mr Trump might hold talks with Theresa May at her Chequers country retreat, and meet the Queen or other royals in either Scotland or Windsor – although it will not be a state visit.

Brothers and sisters are natural enemies. Like Englishmen and Scots! Or Welshmen and Scots! Or Japanese and Scots! Or Scots and other Scots! Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!

It is his McTrumpf Clan heritage.
When it’s reported that the President ‘rubs people the wrong way’, what they mean is PDJT rubs the MEDIA people the wrong way.
And that is a GOOD thing.
On the other hand, Germans never rub people the wrong way.....(/s)
That’s a big wood right there. O.O
A combo of Scot and New Yorker? Yes, I do think Scots can be abrasive and New Yorkers doubly so.
It’s why I like him.
Just don’t talk about the war.
I think our potus can handle it! lol
“Woody Johnson said Trump ‘speaks in very clear and unusual way’ for a politician”
I do not see President Trump as a politician.
What he really means is that Donald Trump rubs everyone in Washington D.C. the wrong way because he has exposed their very costly ineffective means of governing as nothing more than a self serving elitist entitlement existence, with flyover Americans footing the bill for their lavish lifestyle.
Well, that should be fun.
Unless they bring clowns.
Take to the streets to protest a Trump visit, but remain silent about an Alfie exit.
Tells me all I need to know of the new century Brit.
Oh, it will be the biggest clown posse on the planet.
