Trump causes international incident trying to protect carpets at one of his golf courses

President Donald Trump created a transatlantic diplomatic row over an attempt to protect the carpets at the commander-in-chief’s luxury golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland, The Scotsman reported Wednesday.

The brouhaha started when the Trump Organization banned a locally beloved, non-alcoholic soft drink from the resort. The decision was reportedly made to protect the carpets from stains.

“President Donald Trump hasn’t done much to endear himself to people in Scotland, with his history of outspoken comments and his lack of concern for environmental issues – but many think he’s gone too far this time,” The Scotsman noted. “The former businessman has been slammed in Scotland for the decision of management at his Turnberry golf course in South Ayrshire to ban Scotland’s ‘other’ national drink – Irn-Bru.”

The article noted a Scot saying Trump had effectively, “declared war on Scotland.”

1. Translation: Trump wasn't getting a kickback from the seller so he banned their product. nt

2. Bingo. He doesn't give a damn about carpet stains.

Maybe a Scotsman will throw him like a caber next time he's there.

3. "rosy vanilla, fruity" ?

Iron Brew is a caramel-coloured carbonated soft drink.
It has been sold by Coca-Cola since 1975, and is currently marketed as part of the Sparletta range.
They describe the flavour as "rosy vanilla, fruity".
... it’s bottled happiness that tastes a whole lot like cream soda with a hint of citrus.

Innovative and sometimes controversial marketing campaigns have kept it as the number one selling soft drink in Scotland, where it competes directly with global brands such as Coca-Cola and Pepsi.

4. God, he looks like such a horse's ass in that photo.

Granted, he looks odious in every photo, but he really looks like the village idiot in that one.

Does he sell Coke and Diet Coke at his golf club? Wouldn't those products cause stains as well? Or red wine?
