Leave it to the good people of Scotland to stage hilarious protests during Donald Trump’s visit in the wake of Brexit.

Paddy Power, a bookmaker (similar to a sportsbook in Costa Rica) based in Ireland, came up with a clever way to welcome the presumptive Republican candidate to succeed President Barack Obama in the United States. Here’s how the Irish sports betting giant described its stunt:

We gave Donald Trump a good guac-ing when he visited Scotland today. The businessman and US presidential candidate – yeah, we still think the second bit must be a hoax, too – was in Turnberry, Ayrshire to open a new golf course.

 

Given his controversial election promises, including building a wall along the Mexican border, we wanted to give him a special, Paddy Power welcome. So, obviously, we snuck a Mexican Mariachi band, Juan Direction, into Glasgow Prestwick airport to greet the billionaire as he landed on the runway.

Juan Direction actually followed Mr. Trump to his golf course, but the U.S. Secret Service detail assigned to him stopped the mariachis from continuing to serenade the candidate.

The mariachi band was just one of the various protests staged against Mr. Trump in Scotland. As reported by esteemed newspaper The Scotsman:

[Trump] was greeted by hundreds of protesters, including comedian Lee Nelson, who was later thrown out of the press conference for handing out golf balls emblazoned with swastikas.

As it happens, Canadian business mogul Calvin Ayre, who is considered to be one of the godfathers of the online sports betting industry in Costa Rica, once made Scotland his residence. Mr. Ayre is currently wanted by federal prosecutors in Baltimore, and his name has come up in the Panama Papers.

Other signs of anti-Trump protests in Scotland came from his golf course neighbors. As reported by ThinkProgress.org:

Local residents, upset by both Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and his earlier attempts to take possession of private homes and land through eminent domain laws, expressed their displeasure with the apparent Republican presidential nominee by raising Mexican flags over adjoining properties.

One such protester was farmer Michael Forbes, the recipient of the 2012 Scotsman of the Year award. Mr. Forbes has been praised by his efforts to stop Mr. Trump from building his golf course, and he also raised the Mexican flag on his property, which was clearly seen by Mr. Trump’s entourage.

It should be noted that for all the animosity generated by the Trump golf course in Scotland, it has generated about 80 local jobs out of 800 that the U.S. candidate had promised years ago.
