half-dozen of Donald Trump's Scottish neighbors taunted him on Saturday by flying Mexican flags for his visit, but the famed real estate developer chalked it up to sour grapes.

Trump has made a rhetorical enemy of America's southern neighbor, blaming its government for sending 'rapists' and 'murderers' into the U.S. along with a wave of illicit drugs and illegal immigrants.

(19,564 posts)1. Does Trump even know what the flag of Mexico looks like?
Honest question. He's lived his entire life in a bubble of only things he's chosen to engage in. He's nothing like the rest of us work-a-day proles.

When actually Scotland voted to stay in the EU, and may break from the UK to do so.
