While citizens are petitioning to keep Trump out of the UK, the Scottish first minister is making their own move—stripping The Donald of his position as ambassador. From Buzzfeed UK:
Trump has been an ambassador since 2006 as part of the GlobalScot network, which promotes the country’s businesses abroad and helps Scottish businesspeople to open trade routes in different countries.
However, following his statement on Monday that Muslims should be prevented from entering the US, first minister Sturgeon said Trump has been stripped of his ambassadorial role with immediate effect.
A spokesperson for the Scottish government said: “Mr Trump’s recent remarks have shown that he is no longer fit to be a business ambassador for Scotland and the first minister has decided his membership of the respected GlobalScot business network should be withdrawn with immediate effect.”
They weren’t the only ways distancing themselves from Donald Trump:
Meanwhile, Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen has revoked an honorary degree from Trump due to “statements that are wholly incompatible” with the university’s values.
Great job, Trump. Making America embarrassed again.
