Trump Takes Shots at London Politics While Tee‑ing Off in Scotland
*
Ruffling Feathers with the Mayor of London
*
Trump: “I’m not a fan of the Mayor of London. I think he’s done a terrible job—just a nasty person.”
Starmer (in response): “He’s a friend of mine, actually.”
Trump shrugged off the criticism and added, “I’d still love to visit London.”
Friendships and Finicky Opinions
*
Trump praised Nigel Farage as a “friend,” and said that both Farage and Sir Keir Starmer are “good men” despite being political rivals.
He claimed, “Nigel has done very well. He’s a friend of mine, and Keir is a friend of mine.”
Starmer countered: “We like each other, respect each other, and have a great love for our countries and families. Together, we’ve already achieved a lot—there’s still plenty ahead.”
Truth Social, Censorship, and a Bit of Banter
*
When reporters pressed Trump on the UK’s new censorship powers and its possible impact on Truth Social, he replied, “I don’t think they’re going to censor my site because I say only good things.”
Trump jokingly asked Starmer, “Please uncensor my site.”
Starmer clarified, “We’re not censoring anyone. We have measures to protect children from harmful content, not to restrict free speech.”
Trump added, “I can’t see anyone censoring Truth Social. I only say good things about him and his country—if they do, they’re making a big mistake.”
Takeaway

While golfing in Turnberry, Trump offered a mix of political glares, surprising friendships, and a lighthearted jab about internet freedom—reminding us that even on the greens, the U.S. President’s voice can swing as wildly as his golf swing.
