May 30, 2025 – Scotland — Former U.S. President Donald J. Trump has issued a strong condemnation following a reported act of vandalism at his prestigious Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, calling for the perpetrators to be swiftly brought to justice.
According to local authorities, the incident occurred overnight and involved extensive property damage, including spray-painted slogans, defaced signage, and intentional damage to parts of the historic course. Police Scotland confirmed that an investigation is underway, and CCTV footage is being reviewed.
In a statement released Friday morning, Trump said:
“This was a disgusting and cowardly attack on one of the finest golf resorts in the world. Those responsible should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. We will not be intimidated by radical activists or vandals who think they can destroy property without consequence.”
The Turnberry resort, located in South Ayrshire, has long been one of Trump’s most iconic international holdings. It has also been a lightning rod for protest due to Trump’s polarizing political legacy, especially in Europe.
Trump’s team emphasized that the resort would remain fully operational, and repairs are already underway. “Our team is working around the clock to restore Turnberry to its world-class standard,” a spokesperson said.
While no group has claimed responsibility, speculation is growing that the act may have been politically motivated. This comes amid heightened tensions following Trump’s return to office and renewed global debates surrounding climate, foreign policy, and nationalism.
Local officials have condemned the act as well. South Ayrshire Council issued a brief statement supporting law enforcement’s efforts and reaffirming the community’s commitment to safety and order.
As the investigation unfolds, Trump’s demand for accountability underscores his intent to stand firm against what he views as politically driven acts of sabotage — both at home and abroad.
