Trump’s mother is from Scotland.
Ireland vs Scotland (?)
Former US President Donald Trump has drawn attention by choosing Scotland, the UK, as his first overseas destination after leaving the White House. Coincidentally, Trump’s mother is from Scotland. It contrasts strangely with the fact that current President Joe Biden, who is considered the biggest opponent of Trump, who declared a presidential run in 2024, is a descendant of Irish immigrants.

Coincidentally, Biden visited Ireland, which he considers his ‘hometown of the heart’, and expressed his will to challenge the presidential election immediately after returning home. As a result, there are jokes that the next US presidential election will become a competitive structure of ‘Ireland vs. Scotland’.
According to the British BBC on the 1st (local time), Trump arrived at Aberdeen Airport in Scotland on a private plane that day. There is a golf course owned by Trump in Scotland, and the visit was to attend the opening ceremony of a new course at the golf course, the BBC said. It is the first time Trump has come to the UK since 2019, when he was a sitting president.
After getting off the plane, Trump said, “It is great to be home.” It was emphasized that the visit was not simply a businessman who runs a golf course in Scotland. In fact, Trump is half Scottish. His mother, Mary Ann McLeod, was born in 1912 on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, and immigrated to the United States. It is known that Trump started a golf business in Scotland because he values this blood relationship. In fact, he referred to Scotland as “the home of my mother” even in the process of meeting and talking with reporters who were waiting.

This is reminiscent of his static Biden’s move. Biden’s ancestors were immigrants who crossed the Atlantic Ocean to the United States to avoid the worst harvest in the mid-19th century when Ireland was a British colony. Biden is very proud of his Irish ancestry, and he often refers to it at his public office.
Early last month, Biden visited Ireland for the first time since taking office and received a great welcome. Irish people enthusiastically cheered him, saying, “The descendant of Ireland became the president of the world’s most powerful country.” Shortly after returning to the United States after completing his Irish schedule, Biden officially declared his re-election in the 2024 presidential election. He also revealed his feelings, saying, “I was greatly inspired by the journey to find my roots.”
Although the ‘judicial risk’ of Trump, who has been charged with crimes, is a variable, the current prospect is that a clash between Democratic candidate Biden and Republican candidate Trump will take place in the 2024 presidential election. Hoaxers call it “Ireland vs. Scotland” because Biden is Irish and Trump is Scottish.
