At the top of a Scottish golf course, where the wind smells more of ego than of peat, two very different men shared more than a handshake: they staged a political scene worthy of The Crown… directed by the Monty Python crew.
Donald Trump, campaigning president and borderless showman, welcomed Sir Keir Starmer with the kind of courtesy reserved for useful adversaries. Between green and green, he dished out campaign advice like free tees at an amateur tournament:
—Cut taxes, deport immigrants, and smile for the cameras —he said, in short—. That’s how you beat Farage!
Sir Keir, newly initiated in the art of exclamatory diplomacy, responded with a poker face —the kind taught at Westminster, not in Washington. Because Trump, true to form, didn’t stop there: he lectured on farming, inheritance tax, energy policy, Gaza, London, Epstein, and what it means to love Scotland without wanting to see its mayor.
The event was, for lack of a better term, a festival of interference.
—”I’m not meddling,” said Trump. “But you should get tougher on immigration.”
Then he offered his universal recipe: safety + money in people’s pockets = election victory.
A Compass Without North
Starmer had arrived intending to discuss Gaza, ceasefires, and Britain’s role in the Middle East. Instead, he became the passive listener to a monologue about American farmers driven to suicide by taxes, and why Sadiq Khan should not be mayor of anything.
—”Actually, he’s a friend of mine,” Starmer managed to say —through a smile begging for rescue.
In seventy-two minutes, Trump demonstrated his uncanny ability to derail any agenda. He hinted he might support the recognition of a Palestinian State… without saying so. He announced aid for Gaza, contradicting Netanyahu’s claims there was no famine. He said he might visit London, but only if he didn’t have to see its “nasty” mayor.
And most of all, he repeated his mantra:
—Immigration wins elections. Not character, not policy, not institutional respect. Immigration.
The Art of the Unsolicited Advice
What’s remarkable isn’t that Trump says these things. What’s extraordinary is that he says them publicly, while the UK’s opposition leader tries to maintain composure in front of a press pack and a walking headline machine.
If the goal was to appear moderate, Starmer missed the mark. If the goal was to remain calm, he succeeded. And if the goal was to keep Farage from feeding off the chaos —we’ll find out at the polls.
Epilogue with Swing
It’s not the first time a foreign leader has received Trump’s unsolicited wisdom. But this time, the show included a shared flight, tax policy advice, and a photo op in a ballroom that bears his name.
Thus, international politics now resembles a golf tournament without rules —where low blows count double, and fair play gets confused with the buffet line.
The moral?
In this new world order, nobody wears a mask… but everyone ought to wear a helmet.
