Trump, guarded by snipers, golfs at his course in Scotland before his big meeting with Putin
Security was tight as Trump headed out on Saturday, club in hand.
Trump's 2018 financial disclosure form shows he pocketed an extra $6 million in revenue from the club he re-opened in 2016 during his first year in office.
Snipers patrolled the seaside resort from above as Trump golfed.
And a small crowd of at least a dozen protesters carrying signs showed up on a nearby beach.
'yer Maw was an IMMIGRANT ye nugget,' one sign read. Trump's mother, Mary Anne, immigrated from Scotland in 1930.
Police were there on horseback to patrol the crowds.
Trump gave the protesters and onlookers a wave.
He also waved from the driver's seat of a golf cart.
Meanwhile in Helsinki, a much bigger crowd of roughly 2,500 protesters were out demonstrating in support of human rights, democracy, and environmental issues on Sunday, one day before Trump and Putin will meet in their city.
And these youngsters were out supporting the nationalist, right-wing, anti-immigrant stance of the True Finns political party on Sunday, welcoming Trump to the Finnish capital.
But the bulk of the people in the streets weren't happy that Trump is coming to their country to meet with Putin. "This is what these two men, Trump and Putin, have in common: contempt for democracy, contempt for international agreements, contempt for human rights,” Heidi Hautala, a member of the European Parliament from the Greens of Finland, told a rally.
Some protesters waved rainbow flags, while others held signs that read "make human rights great again," and "make peace great again," playing off Trump's campaign slogan.
Trump golfed on Sunday, too, according to the White House press pool.
