Donald Trump’s recent election victory has been met with mixed reactions at his Aberdeenshire golf course, Trump International Scotland. The staff celebrated his win by holding a giant US flag in his honor, indicating their support for his presidency. The company believes that Trump’s victory will have a positive impact on their business, citing local employment opportunities at his Menie Estate resort and increased tourism in the north-east region. In fact, businesses owned by the Trump family currently employ around 600 people in Scotland, further highlighting the potential benefits of his presidency for the local economy.
However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for Trump’s return to power.
