It’s not the first time Donald Trump’s name has been aired on the Scottish election campaign trail.
Earlier in the week, the first minister and SNP leader John Swinney declined a White House invitation to a banquet celebrating the 250th anniversary of the founding of the US.
Now Zack Polanski wants Trump punished for his “illegal and unpopular wars.”
He was asked – but didn’t spell out – how these sanctions might apply.
The Trump team response was typically bombastic and Polanski’s deft barb back was an amusing retort.
The Polanski position will be viewed as extreme fantasy by the other parties – but he also highlighted the instability in Nato.
That part is uncomfortably real for the UK and Scottish governments – and they now have to deal with worsening economic conditions for their citizens caused by the conflict in Iran.
The King will fly across the Atlantic next week to smooth relations with a man who could be characterised as a modern-day George Washington, railing against the British.
However, Trump’s pristine golf courses will remain untouched by any revolutionaries this side of the ocean.
