Trump International golf contest to receive £180,000 from Scottish Government
First Minister John Swinney is to meet with the US President while he is in Scotland over the next four days. Swinney said the funding will 'further enhance Aberdeenshire's reputation as a leading golfing destination'. READ MORE: Donald Trump claims immigration is 'killing Europe' during Scotland visit The Scottish Government are in 'advanced negotiations' over the money, which is to go towards the 2025 Nexo Championship, previously the Scottish Championship, which will be held at Trump International this August. Announcing the plans, Swinney said: 'I welcome the Nexo Championship being held at the Trump International Golf Links this August. 'Scotland has long been recognised as a world-class host of major events. Golf and golf events are a key part of our national identity, supporting communities, driving economic growth, contributing to environmental sustainability across the country and promoting Scotland through global profile. 'The [[Scottish Government]] recognises the importance and benefits of golf and golf events, including boosting tourism and our economy. 'As the home of golf, we have a long-standing track record of support and I am proud this funding will further enhance Aberdeenshire's reputation as a leading golfing destination and I am hopeful of securing further golfing events in future years.' The US President is expected to travel to Trump International in Aberdeenshire on Monday. Scottish Green co-leader Patrick Harvie has hit out at the First Minister for the promise of public cash for President Trump's golf resort. He likened that to Swinney announcing he is 'handing some pocket money to the school bully basically with £180,000 to support a golf tournament at the Menie estate'. After Trump again criticised the 'windmills' used in green energy project when he touched down in Scotland, Harvie said: 'He's attacking our renewables industry once again, one of the success stories of Scotland, and he is trying to attack and undermine it. 'That is after having trashed part of our natural environment on the Aberdeenshire coast to build his golf resort.' The Green MSP spoke out as he joined hundreds of other anti-Trump protesters at a demonstration in the Scottish capital. Trump flew into Prestwick Airport last night and has been pictured playing golf at his Turnberry resort in Ayrshire on Saturday morning. He is expected to meet with Swinney during his trip, along with Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Earlier this month, Swinney said, it is in the interests of the country that he meets US President as he had an 'obligation' to 'protect and promote' Scotland. He said there would be an opportunity during his meeting to discuss tariffs, Gaza and Ukraine.

Protest held outside US Consulate
The protest held outside the US Consulate on Saturday had two messages – one against Trump's presence in Scotland after his arrival at Prestwick on Friday evening. The other message was a weekly reminder of a stance against what is happening to citizens in Gaza, many of whom are dying of starvation. The balance was shifted towards Gaza particularly after police engaged one of the pro-Palestinian speakers in conversation after an address from the mini-stage (in truth a small kitchen stepladder on the elevated part of the pavement). The audience agreed with both messages – and it has to be said the two global concerns are linked. But the anti-Trump message was more diluted than it was when protesters with pink hats took to the streets of Edinburgh with only one message in 2018. Certainly there were fewer people – and no march was held, simply a static protest.

Joe Rogan unleashes fury at Trump administration over Epstein 'cover up'
Joe Rogan has lashed out at the Trump administration over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. The famed podcaster singled out FBI Director Kash Patel in his explosive take on the ongoing fallout over an alleged cover up relating to the convicted pedophile. Rogan said: 'When Kash Patel was on here and he was like there was nothing, my thought was I'm going to put this out there and let the internet do its work. 'The guy's saying there is no tapes, no video. That doesn't make any sense, everybody knows that doesn't make any sense.' Rogan, who endorsed Trump, added: 'Then he's like, "Well, we have a film, we're gonna release that film", and the film has a f****** minute missing from it.' The footage he had been referring to is surveillance clips of Epstein's New York City cell where he hung himself in 2019, the clip was released earlier this month. 'Like, do you think we're babies? Like, what is this?', the comedian and UFC color commentator added. Messy missteps taken by Trump and his officials have driven his core MAGA support mad, and could forever alienate the president from his base. Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump in May that his name appeared in the Epstein files. Bondi also allegedly acknowledged that the administration should withhold the files due to them containing child pornography. The president associated with Epstein and British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell in the 1980s and 1990s. Maxwell was questioned this week by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, she is currently serving 20 years behind bars for his involvement in Epstein's crimes. The 63-year-old made it clear earlier this month that she was willing to speak in front of Congress about the case. Trump has not been implicated in any crimes and just because a name appears in the files, does not mean imply they were involved in Epstein's child sex trafficking. On July 7, two months after Trump's May meeting with Bondi, an internal DOJ memo was released. It said an investigation found that Epstein died by suicide and that no other people named in the files would be charged. It also said there was no 'Epstein client list'. The latest from Rogan comes after after he praised Hunter Biden as being the Democrats' next hope to reclaiming the White House. He said that Biden 'could be president' after the presidential scion gave an interview in which he discussed the failures of the party and his problems with crack-cocaine. Rogan lauded Biden for his frankness and intellect around the subject of addiction, adding that 'he's a lot smarter than people give him credit for'. Biden had sat down with YouTuber and host of Channel 5 News Andrew Callaghan, in which he explained the psychology behind addiction. 'If crack wasn't terrible for you, this guy makes me want to try crack,' Rogan told guest Joe DeRosa on his podcast Wednesday. 'I'm not going to. I'm not giving any advice, but I'm saying this guy, like legitimately this might be the best advertisement for crack of all-time.
