Alex Salmond on the campaign trail in Edinburgh, Scotland on May 18, 2017 | Jeff J Mitchell/Getty Images Alex Salmond: Trump is ‘a complete and utter nincompoop’ ‘The Grand Canyon is a minor crevice compared to the vast chasm of ignorance’ that is Trump, says ex-SNP leader.
Former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond called U.S. Donald Trump a “nincompoop” for saying that Scottish independence would be “terrible,” the Scotsman reported Wednesday.
In the transcript of a Wall Street Journal interview with the American president obtained by POLITICO, Trump said: “Is Scotland going to go for the vote, by the way?
“One little thing, what would they do with the British Open if they ever got out?”
“The Grand Canyon is a minor crevice compared to the vast chasm of ignorance of that man,” the former MP said.
Trump and Salmond were once friends, but a spat over a wind farm ended that relationship. »
