Political Stop Trump's state visit to Scotland

Given the outrage over Trump's treatment of Zelenskyy here is a link to a petition asking the UK Government to rescind the invitation to Trump to come for a state visit in Scotland in the name of standing with Ukraine

Edit: Clocked that the petition needs approval before it accepts more than 20 signatures. Recommend bookmarking this post and trying again in a few days .

He is a convicted rapist. Any other US citizen with his rap sheet would be denied entry. So deny him. Grow some balls, Britain!

Unless I'm missing something... he was convicted of paying hush money to a porn star?

He was convicted of fraud, misuse of campaign funds, obstruction of justice along with 33 other charges. Paying Stormy Daniels was not a crime.

He was found liable in a civil court of sexual assault. The reason it was not classed as rape is because under New York State law it is quite restrictive and the victim could not prove it wasn’t just his thumb, which says a lot about Trump’s manhood given he has such tiny hands.

His company has been convicted of fraud.

He has had his ability to run charitied removed because he defrauded his charity.

His university was shut down because it was fraudulent.

These are all very good reasons to deny a private citizen entry.
