An Express reporter disguised as Donald Trump approached Scotland fans at the World Cup to ask if the US president could join the Tartan Army. The response was overwhelmingly negative, with many fans refusing to engage or shouting insults.
The Stunt
Wearing a creepy Trump mask and a vintage 1986 Scotland jersey, the reporter mingled with fans outside Gillette Stadium after Scotland's 1-0 win over Haiti. Most fans gave blank stares or flat-out refusals. One fan shouted, "Donald is a jobbie!"—Scottish slang for poo—while another flipped the middle finger.
Mixed Reactions
Some fans were more welcoming. A few Haiti fans fist-bumped the fake Trump, and an older Scottish couple posed for photos and said the president would be welcome. However, these moments were rare. Many fans, especially those in kilts and tartan, denied Trump entry to the fanbase.
One burly Scotsman pulled the reporter close and mumbled something about the Bosnia-Serbia conflict, but his words were slurred and unclear. Another fan in a 'jimmy hat' did a Trump impression and said he could join, but overall, the sentiment was hostile.
Conclusion
The reporter concluded that if the real Donald Trump tried to join Scotland's partying fans, he'd face rejection and possibly trigger a whisky tariff war. The stunt highlighted the disconnect between Trump's Scottish heritage and his unpopularity among Scots.
