Trump's roots are in Scotland, which may be one of the reasons he chose Aberdeenshire as the location for his controversial multi-billion dollar golf complex.

DT has had a rocky relationship with Scotland, but after his statements this past week about banning Muslims from coming into the US, things have gotten a lot rockier.

As of yesterday, almost all of Scotland’s political establishment, and even its universities, had made clear their disapproval of Trump’s latest outburst.

Nicola Sturgeon, Scotland’s first minister, announced she was withdrawing the U.S. mogul’s membership of GlobalScot, an international business network, with “immediate effect.”

Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen stripped Trump of an honorary degree awarded in 2010, describing his comments as “wholly incompatible” with its values.

The Scottish government’s International Development Minister Humza Yousaf, himself a Muslim, called Trump’s comments “hate speech” and warned that his proposed policy, if implemented, would transform the U.S. into an “apartheid state.”
