DONALD Trump has been branded a “loser” in giant letters on the front lawn of one of his Scottish golf resorts.
The outgoing US president, who is yet to concede defeat in the presidential election, is continuing to make false claims about voter fraud.
That’s despite the federal government recognising president-elect Joe Biden as the victor of the election, with Trump even giving the green light for the official transfer of power to begin.
But yesterday, the former Apprentice star again took to social media to promote lies about the presidential contest.

His post, which read “RIGGED ELECTION!”, was censored by Twitter.
That prompted a response from prominent political activists Led By Donkeys.
They had targeted Trump’s golf resort in Turnberry, projecting the word LOSER in giant letters across the front laws.
A video of the stunt was soundtracked by the YMCA, which Trump's team used in a viral campaign video ahead of the election.
Led By Donkeys posted: “We know you’re finding it difficult to accept the election result so we projected it onto your golf course with some familiar music.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
