Protesters and law enforcement on the same page instead of butting heads.

3. In most cases, the Scots aren't very hospitable to Chump

In fact, most of them are downright rude. The only reason he's going is to twist the arms of the Brits who run the British Open Golf Championship. How corrupt is that - using his office as president to work a business deal that benefits HIM?

Also US taxpayers are paying his travel costs, the secret service detail, and the hotel bill while they stay at Chump's own golf resort.

#Protesting2018

So it's either an image from the current visit and she's using a sign from 2018
or
This image IS from 2018.

If it's from 2018, I'm hoping the current crop of Scottish Police are like this guy.

Chuckling ghost of Janey Godley throws another Trump golf ball into the lake

Godley, who was famous for her anti-Trump signs and humorous digs at the tangerine grope-machine, died last year after a long battle with Ovarian cancer and a longer, verbal battle with a kind of walking tumour known as President Donald J Trump.

“Trump thought it was funny to brag about grabbing women by the pussy,” confirmed Godley’s ghost, taking a long run-up to hoof Trump’s golf ball deep into the lake on the 5th hole during Trump’s first round of golf this weekend.

“Well, let’s see how hard Captain Bone Spurs laughs about wading into the lake for the ninth time today. Look at him. He’s afraid to even get his feet wet. Sums up his whole stinkin’ life if you ask me.

“It’s a shame he can’t see the new sign I’ve made for him, but then I saw a ball land in front of me and Trump came waddling after it, and I suddenly understood why I was put back here today.

Her radio series on her cancer is still available on the BBC in the UK, though I don't know about elsewhere: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m001n1rj

(I see the sign does have "2018" on it, so must be from a later protest. And that 2016 report doesn't have "cunt" in it, though she did talk about rape, and this video does say she had signs with it in 2016. She was forthright about him for a long time, anyway.)
