ALL THE PRESIDENT’S CADDIES!

Scottish course invaded by a horde of buggies, snipers, Secret Service agents . . . and one ‘below par’ golfer

FORGET a ring of steel, President Trump was protected by a ring of irons yesterday as US Secret Service agents dressed as golf caddies shadowed him during a round at his Turnberry course.

The agents, travelling in more than a dozen buggies, were supported by British police officers in high-visibility jackets guarding the fence and snipers on scaffolding towers.

The huge security operation did not, however, prevent protesters on Turnberry beach from shouting at Trump as he prepared to tee off with his son, Eric, at about 1pm.

Unperturbed by chants including ‘No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA’, the President waved at the group and was seen smiling and laughing as he enjoyed his round. Wearing a navy windcheater, dark trousers and a white cap from his own ‘45’ range – a nod to him being the 45th US President – Trump described golf as ‘my primary form of exercise’ and tweeted: ‘The weather is beautiful, and this place is incredible!’

Meanwhile, police in Scotland are still hunting a Greenpeace activist who paraglided over the South Ayrshire hotel on Friday evening with a banner brandishing the message: ‘Trump Well Below Par.’

Officers said the stunt, which breached an official air exclusion zone, was a criminal offence and could have resulted in the protester being shot out of the sky.
