A NEW FORM OF RESISTANCE
Watch: Greenpeace Paraglider Taunts Trump While He Stays at His Scotland Golf Club
Greenpeace decided ignoring the no-fly zone over the Trump Turnberry Golf Club was worth it. The activist organization Friday evening sent a paraglider to fly over the U.S. president’s Scotland resort while he was visiting, and they sent a clear message: “Trump: Well Below Par,” as the video below shows. It included the hashtag, “#resist.”
“Despite extensive efforts to keep demonstrators away from Trump, footage of the fly-over appears to show the billionaire being ushered inside on Friday evening as the pilot entered the no-fly zone,” HuffPost reports.
Greenpeace was only too happy to verify that in a tweet:
How do you deliver a message to someone who doesn’t want to listen? #Resist #StopTrump pic.twitter.com/5Vb1w1XBfI

In a statement, Greenpeace explained its actions.
“Theresa May should not have dignified Trump with a visit to the UK. The vast majority of British people are appalled by his words and deeds. He is, simply, the worst president ever. That’s why we flew over him with a message branding him well below par.”
