How much is Trump's visit to Scotland costing?

And who is paying?

I get that all those police officers have to be deployed to protect the women and children of Scotland, but wouldn't it be cheaper if Trump just stayed at home?

An estimated £5m to the Scottish government for additional policing. Plus goodness knows what else the American taxpayer is forking out.

Trump likes spending other peoples' money.

@SunshineGirl when you get rich you don't have to spend your own money.

@SpudMuffin He claims the late Sean Connery helped him gain planning permission for his golf course. Connery was a great Scottish patriot who unfortunately had to live for most of the year in the Bahamas for tax reasons. He knew a thing or two about getting other people to pay for his lifestyle too.

@SunshineGirl oh yes, Sean loved everything about Scotland, apart from living there.

@SunshineGirl So true. Of course he played golf again at the American taxpayer expense.
