Donald Trump calls Nicola Sturgeon ‘terrible first minister’ on flight back to US
Trump makes damning description of former Scottish leader
- Donald Trump criticised Nicola Sturgeon, describing her as a "terrible first minister" during his return flight to Washington from Scotland.
- Trump's unprompted comments followed his five-day visit to Scotland, where he met with current First Minister John Swinney.
- Sturgeon responded to Trump's remarks on Instagram, stating the "feeling was mutual" and expressing pride in representing values that offend his worldview.
- Trump also praised John Swinney, calling him a "terrific guy" and indicating respect for his work as First Minister.
- The comments reignite past tensions, as Trump previously called Sturgeon a "failed woke extremist," while she described his behaviour as "abhorrent" in 2016.
