Pro-Palestinian activists targeted Trump’s prestigious Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, defacing the property with politically charged graffiti and causing damage to the course grounds.
The perpetrators left their mark with bold red paint messages across the resort’s walls, expressing solidarity with Gaza through slogans like “Free Gaza” and “Free Palestine,” alongside personal attacks against the former president.
The vandals didn’t stop at wall graffiti – they also damaged the playing surface itself, digging up holes and painting “Gaza is not for sale” directly onto one of the greens.

Palestine Action subsequently claimed responsibility for the incident on X, delivering a pointed message to Trump about the vulnerability of his properties.
The vandalism appears to be a direct response to Trump’s controversial recent statement about Gaza, where he proposed American control of the region and suggested relocating its Palestinian population to create what he termed the “Riviera of the Middle East” – remarks that sparked outrage throughout Arab nations.

Law enforcement has launched an investigation into the incident, with Police Scotland confirming they received reports of damage to both the golf course and premises on Maidens Road, Turnberry, early Saturday morning around 4:40 AM.
The same day, a separate protest action occurred in London, where an individual carrying a Palestinian flag scaled the iconic Big Ben tower at Westminster.
