Trump's Scottish golf resort vandalised in Gaza protest
The Independent
|March 09, 2025
Donald Trump's Turnberry golf resort in Scotland has been vandalised by activists in response to his recent statements on Gaza.
The golf course in South Ayrshire, which is owned by the US president, was targeted overnight on Friday, with activists painting “Gaza Is Not 4 Sale” in almost 10ft-high letters on the lawn and damaging the greens, including the course’s most prestigious hole, used in Open Championships. Red spray paint was used to deface the clubhouse at the 800-acre resort.
The group Palestine Action described it as a “direct response to the US administration’s stated intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza”. Mr Trump’s recent comments include plans to “clean out the whole thing” and to turn the territory into the “riviera of the Middle East”.
There was further outrage when the president posted an AI video on Truth Social, advertising his plans for the territory, which included himself and Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, shirtless, drinking at the “Trump Gaza” resort.
