There is speculation that Trump will flee to Scotland to play golf at his Turnberry resort to avoid attending the inauguration on January 20th.  Nicola Sturgeon, the First Minister and head of the Scottish government, caught wind of the potential plans, and warned Trump yesterday that her country is not allowing travel by foreigners for non-essential purposes, including him.  The airport at nearby Prestwick has been alerted to expect arrival of a US military 757 and to not allow his entry into the country.  Like the rest of the UK, Scotland is in lockdown to reduce the surge caused by the new strain of the Coronavirus.  In a briefing today, Sturgeon said this about Trump:

“We are not allowing people to come into Scotland now without an essential purpose, which would apply to him, just as it applies to everybody else. Coming to play golf is not what I would consider an essential purpose.”

AND, it gets better – today, Iran requested another Interpol international arrest warrant for Trump and 47 other US officials identified for their roles in the drone strike a year ago that killed General Qasem Soleimani, Iran’s highest ranking military officer.  The government is vowing to bring Trump and others to justice for this killing.

Just another Tuesday in Trumpland.
