President Donald Trump has unleashed a fiery response after activists defaced his cherished Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, calling the perpetrators “terrorists” and demanding they be “treated harshly” following the attack.
The vandalism, which took place in the early hours of March 8, sent shockwaves through Trump’s inner circle. Activists from a pro-Palestinian group dug into the greens, sprayed “Gaza is not 4 sale” in massive letters, and doused the clubhouse in red paint in what they described as a direct response to Trump’s stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Late Sunday, Trump took to Truth Social, claiming victory in the search for the culprits.
“I was just informed by Prime Minister Starmer of the United Kingdom that they caught the terrorists who attacked the beautiful Turnberry, in Scotland,” Trump wrote. “They did serious damage, and will hopefully be treated harshly. The three people who did this are in prison. You cannot let things like this attack happen, and I greatly appreciate the work of Prime Minister Starmer, and UK Law Enforcement.”
Despite Trump’s assertion that three individuals had been imprisoned, only one person—33-year-old Kieran Robson—has actually been charged, with two others released pending further inquiries. Robson appeared in court on Monday, facing charges of “malicious mischief,” and was released on bail.
The UK Prime Minister’s office has not publicly commented on the case, casting doubt on Trump’s claim of direct involvement from Prime Minister Keir Starmer.
The radical group Palestine Action, which took responsibility for the act, defended the vandalism, calling it a direct response to the U.S. administration’s alleged role in Israel’s actions in Gaza.
They cited Trump’s February remarks, in which he suggested that the U.S. should “take over” Gaza and “clean out the whole thing” as justification for their protest.
“We are not standing by while war criminals dictate the future of Palestine,” the group declared in a social media post, where they also shared images of the defaced golf course and clubhouse.

Death to Palestine
“… after activists defaced his cherished Trump Turnberry golf resort in Scotland …”
How are such vandals, who destroy and deface private property, “activists”? They are terrorists and criminals.
UK government and Scottish in particular are pro-Palestinian.
Despite Starmer’s assertion to be a friend of Israel – actions speak louder than words!
He is the only western leader who imposed a partial arms embargo on Israel
He withdraw UK’s objection to the ICC/ICJ court case submitted by the previous conservative government.
He re-instated funding for Hamas affiliated UNWRA
ETC. ETC.
Ido, Palestine is a land. Not a nation. There is no nation called Palestine. There was never one, and it will never be. You can’t wish death on something that doesn’t exist.
