American Bridge President Jessica Mackler issued the following statement on Trump’s trip to Scotland and visit to his failing golf course:
“Donald Trump’s trip to Scotland is a futile effort to run away from what he’s called the ‘worst three weeks of publicity’ in his life. But leaving the country isn’t enough for Trump to escape the reality that he’s a business failure who’s staked his presidential campaign on divisive, hateful, and outright racist rhetoric.
“Trump will no doubt use his trip to Scotland to embellish his foreign policy bona fides, but Trump’s reckless rhetoric, disdain for diplomacy, and love of torture, prove that running a Scottish golf course into the ground and hosting a beauty pageant in Russia have shockingly not prepared him to be commander in chief.”
