Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s recent calls on the campaign trail for the United States to temporarily ban foreign Muslims from entering the country has sparked outrage here in Scotland. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon stripped Trump of his business ambassadorship, and Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen rescinded an honorary degree it gave Trump in 2010.
Opposition to Trump is particularly strong in the Aberdeen area. Forbes and Milne — two of the neighbors that Trump feuded with — have erected Mexican flags on their properties in anticipation of his visit. And when more than 500,000 Britons signed a petition this year calling for Trump to be barred from the country, the highest concentration of signatures came from here.

“He would have us think that he is widely respected and loved, that Scotland he has won over. . . . That’s just delusional, I’m sorry to say,” said Aberdeen’s Suzanne Kelly, who organized the national petition. “Nobody wants him around. . . . And he refuses to see or refuses to accept what is reality.”
Apparently I'm not a cult of one regarding dislike of trump.
