Hundreds flooded Scottish streets this weekend as former U.S. President Donald Trump arrived for a five-day visit, with protests erupting in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Demonstrators waved signs calling Trump 'FELON 47' and displayed images linking him to Jeffrey Epstein, while police scrambled to secure his Turnberry golf resort.
