Vandalism at Trump’s Scottish Golf Course Sparks Investigation and Outrage
Former President Donald Trump’s golf resort in Scotland, Trump Turnberry, was vandalized last month. Red paint was sprayed across the clubhouse, and the greens were damaged.
Police responded to the scene around 4:40 a.m. on March 8. Authorities arrested 33-year-old Kieran Robson, who was charged with malicious mischief and later released on bail.
Trump reacted strongly on Truth Social, calling for harsh punishment for those responsible. He claimed three people had been taken into custody, though police have not confirmed that. Along with Robson, a 75-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman were also arrested, but both were released pending further investigation.
Scottish authorities continue to investigate the incident, which caused significant damage to the property. Trump praised local law enforcement for their quick response and efforts to find those responsible.
In his statement, Trump condemned the vandalism and said those behind it should face serious consequences. He emphasized that such actions won’t be tolerated—especially at a location that holds personal value to him. Trump Turnberry, a luxury golf resort on Scotland’s west coast, is not only one of his business ventures but also a symbol of his brand and success.
Following the attack, Trump increased security at the resort to deter future incidents and pledged to fully cooperate with law enforcement to ensure the culprits are brought to justice.
The vandalism has reignited debate over political protest and the right way to express dissent. While critics of Trump may strongly oppose his policies, many agree that vandalism crosses a line.
Ultimately, the incident at Trump Turnberry highlights the deep political divisions surrounding Trump. While he continues to have strong supporters, he also faces fierce opposition. Regardless of political stance, damaging property as a form of protest remains widely condemned.
As the investigation moves forward, Trump has made it clear he intends to hold those responsible accountable, showing his characteristic tough stance on law and order and a firm commitment to protecting his properties.
