Calgary Greenpeace Paragliding Protester Buzzes Trump At Turnberry | HuffPost Latest News - Action.News ABC Action News WestNet-HD Weather Traffic

Donald Trump might have hoped for a bit of a break from protesters across the pond with a golfing weekend at his Turnberry resort in Scotland. But a Greenpeace protester managed to outsmart security by circling over Trumps digs in a motorized paraglider with a cheeky message.

TRUMP: WELL BELOW PAR. #RESIST, read the sign on the protesters yellow banner. The unidentified daredevil flew about three miles over the Ayrshire countryside, then circled the Turnberry hotel grounds three times , The Daily Mail reported. Trump had arrived a short time earlier and was on the grounds during the action.

Police and local air traffic control officials were reportedly alerted by Greenpeace before the protester appeared, apparently so he wouldnt be harmed. (There were snipers guarding the area, said the Mail.)

The flyer then left the way he came, with police in pursuit. It wasnt immediately clear if the protester was nabbed.

Greenpeace spokesman Ben Stewart said the organization wanted to make it clear that Trump is simply the worst president ever. (Check out the video above.)

The vast majority of British people are appalled at his words and deeds, said Stewart. Trump calls climate change a con job and a myth. Hes committed to burning more dirty coal, and overturned the ban on offshore Arctic oil drilling. And thats before you even get to talking about separating kids from their parents and caging them.

A far bigger protest took place Friday evening in Glasgow, where thousands gathered at two sites in the city. Today is a day for saying there is unity across parties in opposition to everything Donald Trump stands for, whether its his misogyny, his racism, his views on climate change , his views on workers rights, Scottish Labor leader Richard Leonard told The Scotsman.

Trump and the first lady will relax at the resort until the president leaves for Helsinki to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday. Its not an official visit to Scotland, and the country insisted that the British government cover security costs . Trumps son Eric arrived in Aberdeen on Friday to join his father at Turnberry, the Mail reported.

Other anti-Trump protests were also planned in Edinburgh and at Trumps other golf resort in Aberdeenshire.

The Trumps left for Scotland after having tea with Queen Elizabeth . A White House tweet noted that the president and first lady were departing the UK. Scotland is part of the UK. The tweet was quickly deleted. Sky News noted that the White House seemed to stumble on geography .
