The Palestinians and their supporters have a right to think this as Trump as Trump has suggested that the Palestinians in Gaza relinquish their territory and relocate to other countries. And that he redevelops the territory.

So by defacing Trump's property in Scotland, it may act as a deterrent to his Gaza redevelopment plan being carried out, however unrealistic such a plan was (like many of his plans though eg Canada, Greenland, the Wall...)

Americans apply for UK citizenship in record numbers
Donald Trump’s election and British tax changes believed to be behind 40% rise in applications
The number of Americans applying for UK citizenship rose to the highest on record last year, with Donald Trump’s return to power and UK tax changes contributing to a surge in applications by US citizens in Britain.
Over 6,100 US citizens applied last year, the most since records began two decades ago and 26 per cent more than in 2023. Overall applications for UK citizenships were up 6 per cent to 251,000, another record.
Applications by US citizens surged in the last quarter of 2024 in particular, rising 40 per cent year on year to about 1,700, according to data published by the Home Office.
Immigration lawyers said Trump’s presidential re-election bid and victory in early November helped drive the increase, along with UK tax changes encouraging Americans to secure British passports before they exit.
Elena Hinchin, partner at law firm Farrer & Co, said the US political landscape was “a very serious driver” of increased interest in UK residency.
“We’ve definitely seen more interest in citizenship from the US since the lead-up to the election campaign,” she said. “There’s much more interest than under the previous Trump administration.”..
There has also been an increase in Americans seeking citizenship in Ireland, with data revealing a 46 per cent rise in applications last year from people in North America with Irish ancestry.
