There will be plenty of protests during his quasi-royal swing through his Aberdeenshire and Turnberry courses. Gratifyingly, however, assistant chief constable Emma Bond, the appropriately-named “gold command” for the operation, has said it will be Scotland’s biggest security operation since the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The problem, as the saying goes, is politicians campaign in poetry and govern in prose. Try as he might to break this rule, America’s greatest showman is getting bogged down.
It is unhelpful, to say the least, that The Wall Street Journal, which has been kicked off the Scottish press tour over its scoop about an alleged lewd 50th birthday greeting to Epstein from Trump, keeps producing more seemingly well-sourced stories about the late financier. (Trump is suing owner Rupert Murdoch and parent company News Corp and claims the letter is “fake news”).
According to the newspaper, Mandelson’s alleged greeting included photos of whiskey and a tropical island and described Epstein as his “best pal”. No wonder the peer has said about his past association with Epstein – like him, a supreme networker – “I wish I’d never met him in the first place.”
However, it is to Sir Keir Starmer’s advantage that Trump needs a reset. We don’t know how substantive talks will be on “refining” the US-UK trade deal, but while Trump can be relied on to make some undiplomatic comments – perhaps about the windmills off the coast of Aberdeenshire that he loathes – he has not come to cause a row with Britain.
This is the kind of pomp and circumstance the US President prefers. America’s hyperactive, but attention-deficit President has told advisers that he wants to get back on the road in America and gin up his supporters with campaign rallies. By commanding the stage he hopes to rekindle his direct relationship with his Maga base.

As soon as the holiday season is over, campaign prep will begin in earnest for the 2026 mid-term elections. Tony Fabrizio, the President’s pollster, told Politico, “It’s all about these last two years of his presidency and his legacy, and he doesn’t want the Democrats nipping at his heels all the time.”
Some of the biggest names appear to have have fallen back into line after Department of Justice officials visited Maxwell in prison this week. Newsmax’s Greg Kelly has suggested she may be a victim of “Me Too” sentencing and Charlie Kirk of Turning Point USA has proposed that cutting a deal with Trump to reduce her sentence would be “worthy of our praise, and worthy of our encouragement”.
