💨 Abstract

Former U.S. President Donald Trump visits Scotland in an unofficial capacity, but the expected £14 million bill for public services should be his responsibility. Trump's past controversies and unpopularity in Scotland are highlighted, as well as the potential disruption to public services. Politicians meeting him should emphasize boundaries and financial prudence rather than deferential treatment, especially in the midst of potential budget cuts. The situation raises broader concerns about taxpayer funding for such visits and the value placed on public services.
