Donald Trump’s Turnberry golf resort in Scotland has been vandalized by activists in response to his recent statements on Gaza.

The golf course in South Ayrshire, owned by the president, was targeted overnight on Friday, with activists painting “Gaza Is Not 4 Sale” in almost 10-foot-high letters on the lawn and damaging the greens, including the course’s most prestigious hole, used in Open Championships.

Red spray paint was used to deface the clubhouse at the 800-acre resort.

Palestine Action described it as a “direct response to the U.S. administration’s stated intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza.”

Trump’s recent comments include plans to “clean out the whole thing” and to turn the territory into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”

...

A spokesperson from Palestine Action said: “Palestine Action rejects Donald Trump’s treatment of Gaza as though it were his property to dispose of as he likes.

“To make that clear, we have shown him that his own property is not safe from acts of resistance.

Not mad about it. Fuck trump. Also golf kind of sucks in terms of environment and public access to green spaces.

Paint works alright, but chlorinated bleach last longer. Definitely don't follow this advice....
