Scottish newspaper denounces Trump as an 'appalling human being'
A newspaper in Scotland issued a scathing editorial on Friday denouncing President Trump during his visit to the United Kingdom and labeling him an “appalling human being.”
Trump is “a racist, a serial liar, and either a sexual abuser or someone who falsely brags about being one in the apparent belief that this will impress other men in a metaphorical 'locker room,’” The Scotsman wrote.
The newspaper issued a full-page editorial and took jabs at Trump for a number of things, including defending both the protesters - organized by white supremacists - and counter-protesters during last year's violent Charlottesville, Va., rally; attacking NFL players protesting during the national anthem; and previously pushing the “birtherism” movement against former President Obama.
The editorial also took a jab at Trump’s distaste for the media, which he often decries as “fake news.”
“But, according to one count by The Washington Post, the president lies an average of 6.5 times a day,” The Scotsman wrote. “The New York Times has also tried to make a definitive list of his numerous falsehoods.”
