Summary

Donald Trump condemned a vandalism attack at his Scottish golf course by activists, calling the perpetrators ā€œterroristsā€ and demanding they be ā€œtreated harshly.ā€

The March 8 incident at Trump Turnberry included red paint, anti-Trump graffiti, and messages like ā€œGaza is not 4 sale.ā€

Police charged a 33-year-old man and arrested two others. Palestine Action claimed responsibility, citing U.S. complicity in Gazaā€™s destruction.

Activists criticized the leaders for focusing on property damage while Gaza faces ongoing bombardment.

    They were upset about the term ā€œrioters,ā€ and kept calling them ā€œvisitorsā€ and ā€œtourists.ā€

      That, too, but they got especially butthurt over the term ā€œinsurrectionistsā€ when The Media used it. I would not be surprised if donvict gets around to ā€œinvestigatingā€ the Very Nasty Liberal Media for using such terminology, TBH.

      In my view, calling them insurrectionists was downplaying it. And calling them ā€œriotersā€ - fuck that noise. Riots are not planned.
