'Twinned with Epstein Island' sign put up at Donald Trump's Aberdeenshire golf course

A SIGN saying “twinned with Epstein Island” appears to have been put up at Donald Trump’s Aberdeenshire golf course.

It comes ahead of his visit to Scotland later this week and a state visit to the UK in September. 

A video posted to Instagram and TikTok from campaign group Everyone Hates Elon showed someone placing the sign in front of a placard reading Trump International Golf Links.

The video was captioned: "Getting ready to welcome Donald Trump to Scotland.”

Trump is expected to visit Scotland next weekend on a trip to his golf courses on the Menie and Turnberry estates, with Prime Minister Keir Starmer due to meet with him in Aberdeen.

The US president is facing backlash over his past links to Epstein, with his administration also facing criticism over its handling of much-hyped records in the Epstein sex trafficking investigation.

Most recently, Trump brought legal action against the Wall Street Journal after the paper alleged he sent Jeffrey Epstein a crude letter featuring a drawing of a naked woman to mark the convicted paedophile's 50th birthday in 2003. 

Trump has denied writing the letter or drawing the picture.

Trump International has been approached for comment.
