Donald Trump’s iconic Turnberry golf resort in Ayrshire, Scotland, was hit by a brazen act of vandalism on Friday, March 7, 2025, as pro-Palestine activists defaced the property in a reckless protest against the former U.S. president’s stance on Gaza. The attack, which left the resort’s clubhouse splattered with red paint and fairways dug up, is a shameful assault on American heritage and a stark reminder of the radical left’s willingness to destroy private property for political gain. At CGN Network, we condemn this outrage and stand with Trump in defending his legacy against these lawless thugs.
The vandalism, reported by Golf.com, NewsNation, and Fox News, was carried out by members of the Palestine Activist (PA) group, who claimed responsibility in a statement to the Associated Press (AP). Drone footage and photos, shared on X and published by Reuters, show the resort’s clubhouse covered in red paint, symbolizing blood, with graffiti reading “Free Gaza” and “End the Occupation.” The activists also dug holes in the fairways of the Alisa Course, one of golf’s most prestigious layouts, causing extensive damage to the 18-hole course named after the volcanic island Ailsa Craig. The BBC reported that the damage could cost millions to repair, with Trump Turnberry’s management calling it a “childish, criminal act” that won’t derail operations.
The PA group’s statement, as quoted by Fox News, claimed the vandalism was a response to Trump’s “treatment of Gaza as though it were his property to dispose of as he likes.” This refers to Trump’s February 2025 proposal, discussed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, suggesting neighboring nations could absorb displaced Palestinians from Gaza—a plan rejected by Arab states but defended by Trump as a “humanitarian solution,” per The New York Times. The president later posted an AI-generated video envisioning a rebuilt Gaza under his leadership, further fueling outrage among pro-Palestine activists.
This attack isn’t just an assault on Trump’s property—it’s an attack on American values and free enterprise. Turnberry, purchased by Trump in 2014 and widely rated among the world’s top five golf courses, is a symbol of luxury, history, and American investment in Scotland. The resort, which underwent a massive refurbishment after Trump acquired it from a Dubai-based company, has hosted The Open Championship and drawn global tourists, boosting local economies. But these activists, driven by radical ideology, chose destruction over dialogue, defacing a landmark that represents Trump’s vision of excellence and America First prosperity.
The vandalism follows a pattern of escalating protests against Trump properties worldwide, from graffiti on Trump Tower in New York to disruptions at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The Daily Mail reported similar incidents targeting Trump’s Scottish properties, including his Aberdeen golf course, since his 2016 presidential campaign. But this Turnberry attack stands out for its brazenness and cost, with police Scotland investigating the incident as a criminal act, as noted by BBC News. No arrests have been made, but the PA group’s claim of responsibility has drawn sharp criticism from Scottish officials and Trump supporters alike.
On X, reactions were swift and polarized. Trump loyalists slammed the vandals as “terrorists” and “anti-American thugs,” with one post gaining 100,000 likes: “Attacking Trump Turnberry isn’t just vandalism—it’s an attack on the American dream.” Pro-Palestine accounts defended the act as “resistance” against Trump’s policies, but critics, including The Spectator, called it “pointless destruction” that alienates public support for their cause. Scottish First Minister John Swinney condemned the vandalism, telling STV News, “This criminal behavior has no place in our society and will be met with the full force of the law.”
For CGN Network, this incident is a wake-up call. The radical left’s obsession with targeting Trump—whether through legal witch hunts, protests, or property destruction—shows their desperation to undermine his America First vision. Turnberry isn’t just a golf course; it’s a testament to Trump’s entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence, now scarred by paint and prejudice. We stand with Trump and demand swift justice for these activists, whose actions threaten not just private property but the very principles of free speech and economic freedom. As Trump prepares to reclaim the White House in 2029, this vandalism only strengthens his resolve—and ours—to fight back against lawlessness and restore American greatness.
