Trump Condemns ‘Terrorists’ Who Vandalized His Turnberry Golf Resort
President Donald Trump has condemned the vandals who defaced his Turnberry golf resort in Scotland, calling them “terrorists” after authorities arrested three suspects linked to the attack. The incident, involving red paint and pro-Palestinian slogans, has sparked concerns about escalating political violence and whether other Trump properties could be targeted next.
Trump Responds to Vandalism at Golf Resorts
Trump expressed gratitude to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer after police apprehended suspects linked to the vandalism at his Scottish golf resort. He called for the perpetrators to be “treated harshly,” emphasizing the severity of the attack. “These terrorists did serious damage,” Trump stated, underscoring his demand for strong legal action.
The activist group Palestine Action claimed responsibility for the act, which included red paint splashed on buildings and pro-Palestinian graffiti scrawled across the property. Reports indicate that one green was dug up while another was defaced with the slogan “Gaza is not for sale,” causing significant damage to the world-renowned golf course.
Details of the Arrests and Ongoing Investigation
Three individuals were arrested in connection with the Turnberry vandalism: a 33-year-old man who has been formally charged, along with a 75-year-old man and a 66-year-old woman who were released pending further investigation. Trump’s claim that “the three people who did this are in prison” appears to be inaccurate, as only one suspect remains charged, and none face terrorism-related offenses.

Police Scotland has confirmed that investigations remain ongoing as authorities assess the full extent of the damage. The attack has drawn significant attention in the UK and internationally, highlighting the politically charged nature of Trump’s global real estate holdings amid rising tensions over the Gaza conflict.
Coordinated Attacks on Multiple Trump Properties
In what appears to be a coordinated effort, Trump’s International Golf Links and Hotel in Doonbeg, Ireland, was also vandalized around the same time as the Turnberry incident. No arrests have been made in connection with the Irish attack, and Palestine Action has not officially claimed responsibility for it.

A spokesperson for Trump Doonbeg dismissed the incident as a “childish, criminal act” while assuring it would not disrupt business operations. “We have the greatest course anywhere in the world, and we are so proud of the tremendous success,” the spokesperson stated, emphasizing that the resort’s team would quickly restore the damage.
Irish police, Gardaí, have launched their own investigation, working separately from Scottish authorities. The incidents suggest a broader effort to target Trump’s international properties, linking his business empire to geopolitical conflicts and his firm stance on global political issues.
