Watch:
Trump Runs for Cover as Paraglider Buzzes Feet From Him in Scotland
14
July, 2018
Following
a day in which hundreds of thousands took to the streets of London to
let President Donald Trump he was “not welcome” in the United
Kingdom, a paragliding protester from Greenpeace executed a dramatic
paraglider flyby — carrying a banner that read “Trump: Well Below
Par” — over Trump’s golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland just as
the president was entering the hotel Friday evening.
“Despite
efforts to keep protesters away from the presidential party,” the
Guardian reports, “the paraglider flew past police snipers and in
front of the hotel, apparently in view of the president.”
Greenpeace
said it had alerted police to the action just prior to it taking
place in advance and Ben Stewart, a spokesperson for the group, said:
“[UK Prime Minister] Theresa May should not have dignified Trump
with a visit to the UK. The vast majority of British people are
appalled by his words and deeds. He is, simply, the worst president
ever. That’s why we flew over him with a message branding him well
below par.”
And
Greenpeace UK took credit for the action on social media:
We've hit @realDonaldTrump where it hurts - at his golf course. Trump does not believe in climate change. He's pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement, and is committed to burning more climate wrecking coal. We couldn't let him get away with a quiet game of golf... #resist
Though
the individual who flew the aircraft has not been identified, law
enforcement are reportedly looking for a suspect.
