Trump protesters urged to stay within the law during his trip to Scotland
Assistant Chief Constable Emma Bond said the operation to police the five-day visit will involve 'significant' resources, requiring Police Scotland to draw on mutual aid agreements with other forces.
Known as Operation Roll, the exact numbers of police involved have not been revealed but it is expected to require Police Scotland's entire cadre of police liaison officers.
The White House confirmed Mr Trump will visit his golf courses in Aberdeenshire and Ayrshire between July 25 and 29.
He will meet Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and First Minister John Swinney during his private trip.
The visit is likely to result in widespread protests, following similar demonstrations during his last visit to Scotland.
Speaking to journalists on Tuesday, Ms Bond encouraged protest groups to discuss their plans with police ahead of the visit.
She said: 'As you can imagine, it is a large-scale, complex operation, but actually that's something that Police Scotland is immensely experienced at doing.'
The policing plan involves local, national and specialist officer from Police Scotland as well as other forces.
She added: 'The key very much is to make sure the President of the United States can come, enjoy a peaceful and safe visit to Scotland and ensure Police Scotland is able to maintain delivery of services to the rest of the community within Scotland over the period of his visit.'
Police are working on the assumption there will be protests in Ayrshire, Aberdeen, Glasgow and Edinburgh, she said.
Ms Bond said Police Scotland will take a 'proportionate' approach to ensure people can protest safely, with the force offering to engage with demonstrators ahead of time on a 'no surprises' basis.
However she said there is nothing at this stage to give her 'specific concern' about violence.
Speaking to the PA news agency, she also said that concerns raised by the Scottish Police Federation are 'being resolved'.
The organisation, which represents rank and file officers, said workforce agreements around health and safety may be breached.
Asked for her message to those considering disruptive protest, she said 'Police Scotland fully recognises people's right to peaceful protest…
'We would wish to make sure we can balance those rights against against the impact on communities, on public safety.
'I would appeal to people obviously to stay within the bounds of peaceful protest.
'I'd be really clear however that abusive, threatening behaviour, any activity that's intended to disrupt events or in any way that poses a risk to public safety is not legitimate protest and will potentially require an intervention by policing.'

How Trump's love for TV is shaping US diplomacy
Donald Trump's sudden concern about starving Palestinians was a major shift for the US president, who had previously ignored the endless cries for help from aid groups. So what changed? In his words, it was images of emaciated children in Gaza that Trump saw on television -- his main window into the world that has long shaped his political and diplomatic decision-making. Trump made clear his affection for the small screen in late July when asked if he agreed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a major US ally, that there was no famine in Gaza. "Based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry," said Trump, a former reality TV star. "That's real starvation stuff. I see it, and you can't fake that." Since then, the 79-year-old has repeated that aid must be brought to people living in the war-ravaged Palestinian territory, though he has stopped of any major diplomatic moves. "Trump has a reputation for not reading anything, including the briefing papers that his aides prepare for him, and for always believing that he knows better than his staff or anyone else does," said Dan Kennedy, a journalist professor at Northeastern University. "So it's not surprising that he would be affected by images on television, especially since he is known to spend a lot of time watching TV." - 'I watch the shows' - Trump has attended 22 intelligence briefings since taking office in January, according to an AFP tally, despite several reports having revealed that he lacks interest in written reports. However, his love for television is well-documented -- even when it comes to major decisions. In 2015, before he first entered the White House, the billionaire told a journalist asking how he educates himself on military strategy: "Well, I watch the shows." And a New York Times report recounted how Trump spent several hours a day in his first term glued to the television, mainly watching Fox News -- his favorite channel -- but also CNN, NBC and ABC news channels. His second term has been little changed, despite Trump leading an election campaign that deployed social media and podcasts. "Trump is a product of his generation," Kennedy said. "He's not sitting around looking at TikTok." - 'Great television' - The Republican, who hosted 14 seasons of "The Apprentice" television series, knows better than most how images can be weaponized for political point-scoring. He was gleeful after his shocking clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House in February, which saw the pair rowing in front of the world's press. "This is going to be great television," Trump said. And in May he gave a similar public dressing down to South African leader Cyril Ramaphosa when he sat in the Oval Office for what turned into a diplomatic ambush. Trump hijacked the meeting by playing a video montage -- one littered with inaccuracies -- that purported to prove claims of a "genocide" against white farmers in South Africa. aue/bjt/sla

Trump Thanks Casey Wasserman For Olympic Medals: 'Can I Say That I Won Them Athletically?'
It's not the Nobel Prize, but Donald Trump was still pretty excited when Chairman of the 2028 L.A. Olympics organizing committee Casey Wasserman handed him a box of Olympic medals at a White House ceremony today. During the event, he president signed an executive order establishing a task force on the 2028 Games in Los Angeles, a group that features the president as its chairman. More from Deadline Donald Trump Says He'd Use National Guard Or Military To Keep 2028 L.A. Olympics Safe Former Disney TV Chief Peter Rice To Oversee Los Angeles Olympics Opening & Closing Ceremonies 'South Park' Trolls Donald Trump's DHS Ahead Of ICE Barbie Episode: "Wait, So We ARE Relevant?" In presenting the medals, the Wasserman founder and CEO invoked Ronald Reagan, who he said presided over the 1984 games in Los Angeles. 'You'll preside over our games,' he told Trump and the event. 'And so, we have for you a full set of the '84 original medals.' After applause, Trump asked, 'Can I say I won them athletically?' Trump later posted about the event no less that five times on Truth Social, including one video of the medal presentation with the caption, 'Thank you to Casey Wasserman, Chairman of 2028 LA Olympics…' Trump was criticized last month when he stayed on the winners dais as English soccer club Chelsea collected their medals and celebrated winning the FIFA Club World Cup. Chelsea captain Reece James appeared to ask Trump, 'Are you going to leave?' To which the president smiled and clapped his hands. Trump was not only seen pocketing one of the medallions that all the Chelsea players received, but the president also said FIFA had gifted him the original Club World Cup trophy and that the hardware held aloft by Chelsea was a copy. Some have expressed concern that Trump, who has repeatedly claimed credit for landing the L.A. Games, will attach himself to them in a similar way. Many have encouraged him to do so. During an appearance at a Morgan Stanley media conference earlier this year, Endeavor and TKO exec Mark Shapiro said, 'President Trump is going to walk out of office with the trophy that is the L.A. Olympics, that 'I did it, I brought it back, I was behind it, I put the resources, the support,'' the exec said. 'He'll be sitting front and center. I'm a true believer that this will be his Olympics as much as anything else.' Trump has for years been obsessed with medals of all kinds, especially the Nobel Peace Prize, which has been given to four other presidents. Asked in 2018 whether he deserved the prize, Trump answered, 'Everyone thinks so, but I would never say it.' He seemed to change his mind on such self-assertion when queried about the prize again earlier this year. 'They will never give me a Nobel Peace Prize,'' Trump said in response to a reporter's question. 'It's too bad. I deserve it, but they will never give it to me.'

Texas AG will seek to vacate congressional seats of fled Democrats
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday said he will seek to remove Democrats from state Congress who fled the state over the weekend. Pool File Photo by Justin Lane/UPI | License Photo Aug. 5 (UPI) -- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday announced he will ask a court to declare the seats of the absent Democratic lawmakers vacant after they fled the Lone Star State in an effort to prevent majority Republicans from adopting controversial congressional maps that critics have derided as a power grab. Legislative Democrats over the weekend left Texas for Democratic-strongholds, such as New York and Illinois, to deny Republicans the minimum number of lawmakers necessary to pass legislation, and to prevent passage of congressional maps, supported by President Donald Trump, that would reportedly lock in five GOP seats to the U.S. House of Representatives in the run up to next year's midterm elections. Critics of the maps have described them as seeking to increase Republican seats in the House through racial gerrymandering that reduces the voting power of people of color in the state. Texas Republicans have, in turn, accused the Democrats of neglecting their responsibilities as state legislators by fleeing. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has ordered their arrest and has threatened to investigate any Democrat who solicits funds to support their effort. Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows, a Republican, has given the Democrats until Friday to return to the House. Paxton on Tuesday said he will seek "aggressive legal action" against any who are not present at that time to remove them from office. "Democrats have abandoned their offices by fleeing Texas, and a failure to respond to a call of the House constitutes a dereliction of their duty as elected officials," Paxton said in a statement. "Starting Friday, any rogue lawmakers refusing to return to the House will be held accountable for vacating their office. The people of Texas elected lawmakers, not jet-setting runaways looking for headlines." Democrats have come out in support of their Texas colleagues, who say they stand together to protect voting rights. In a press conference Tuesday in Illinois, the state's Democratic lieutenant governor, Juliana Stratton, said they were "facing the voting rights fight of our lifetime." "Donald Trump and Texas Republicans are staging a blatant attempt to rig the next election," she said, while accusing them of diverting their attention from those suffering the effects of last month's fatal flooding to "further rigging the system to their own advantage. And there's no line they won't cross." The Democrats broadly described their actions as a bold stand against the Republicans' power grab that targets the voting power of Latino and Black voters. "This is not the Democratic Party of your grandfather, which would bring a pencil the the knife fight," Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin said. "This is a new Democratic Party. We're bringing a knife to a knife fight." Former President Barack Obama even posted to X about the situation, stating: "Republicans in Texas are trying to gerrymander district lines to unfairly win five seats in next year's midterm elections. This is a power grab that undermines our democracy." Abbott also announced Tuesday that he has filed an emergency petition asking the Texas Superior Court to remove Texas House Democratic Caucus Chair Gene Wu over his failure to return to the state's House by the previous Sunday deadline. Wu responded by chastising the governor for seeking to redraw the congressional lines while holding onto disaster relief for the families of the 137 Texans who died in last month's floods. "My purpose has been clear from that start: to serve my constituents and fight for what's right, no matter the cost," Wu said in a statement. "You will find that my commitment to the people of Texas is unbreakable." In a surprising move late Tuesday, Paxton filed his own petition with the Texas Supreme Court, stating that Abbott does not have the authority to file the writ of quo warranto, asserting that responsibility falls to him. He has asked the court not to dismiss the case until Burrows' Friday deadline so he can consider filing a writ of quo warranto of his own.
