\nWhen Donald Trump lands in Aberdeenshire this Saturday to inspect his Scottish golf course, he\u2019ll be greeted with the sight of the Mexican flag flying above its border.
\nResidents on the Menie Estate, north of Aberdeen, told BuzzFeed News they raised the flag as part of their campaign against the Trump International Golf Links, which the Republican presidential nominee opened in 2012.
\n“The point of the flag is to show solidarity with the Mexicans and every other group that Trump has decried, derided, insulted, and tried to marginalise,” said David Milne, who has lived for 25 years in a former coastguard\u2019s lookout that is now enveloped by the golf course.
\nMilne is one of a handful of residents who have fought a long campaign against the development and attempts by Trump\u2019s organisation to acquire their land. The residents, who are now part of the Tripping Up Trump campaign, have successfully resisted compulsory purchase orders to take their land.
\nMilne said Michael Forbes, a farmer whom Trump described as “living like a pig”, raised the flag two days ago near a bunker on the course. The land is now owned by Forbes and 100 additional owners in an attempt to stop Trump buying it.
\n“We did it as a deliberate block to any compulsory purchase order so that the local authority would have to serve a notice on each owner,” said Milne.<\/p>\n
