Donald Trump leaves for Scotland Thursday, briefly escaping his turbulent presidential campaign to attend the official opening of a remodeled golf resort bearing his name. The foreign trip, Trump's first as the presumptive Republican nominee, will bear none of the traditional marks of the ritualistic campaign voyage abroad that White House hopefuls have embarked on in recent years. Trump is not slated to meet with any foreign leaders or visit historical sites but instead attend to his multibillion-dollar business interests. The trip -- an unconventional venture emblematic of the real estate mogul's campaign -- comes on the heels of the most unforgiving weeks of Trump's bid. He faces amped up pressure to abandon his freewheeling ways in favor of the more restrained demeanor typically espoused by a major party nominee. But rather than a chance to change the political narrative, Scotland may well serve as a potent reminder of the ruthless and eccentric tactics that catapulted Trump to the heights of the business world and helped him clinch the GOP nod -- and earned him rebuke from global leaders.

Usual dregs from CNN.
What a load of carp.
I posted this thread with like only one or two keywords... and then where did these all come from? Boris Johnson? who’s he?
** Boris Johnson. Who’s he? **
Former Mayor of London trying to lead the UK out of the EU.
BREXIT, which Trump favors, btw.
I’ve been eating scones for two days in support of BREXIT.
President TRUMP will save Americans taxpayer booko $$$$$ because he and his staff would probably stay in his own hotels and resorts for security purposes.
I’m sure Trump will be asked about Brexit, especially since he supported it and it looks like it may go down to a narrow defeat. But I’m surprised that Trump didn’t take advantage of the trip to meet with Cameron or Netenyahu or some other foreign leader.
He may meet with some of them secretly (like Putin).
Why meet in secret? For someone who Hillary is trying to paint as completely uninformed on foreign affairs it would help to be publicly seen with foreign leaders and speaking with them on equal terms. Secret meetings implies that the leaders don't want to be seen meeting with him.
And yet the Scots voted REMAIN
