President Trump’s prized golf club has been vandalised with ‘Trump is a c***’ and ‘F*** Trump’ graffiti.

Pro-Palestinian activists targeted Trump Turnberry, located in South Ayrshire in Scotland, overnight and damaged the greens on several of the courses.

Palestine Action labelled the damage a ‘direct response to the US administration’s stated intent to ethnically cleanse Gaza’.

They group used blood-red graffiti to deface the elite 800-acre resort, which has held the sport’s prestigious Open Championship.

The politically-charged paint reads ‘Free Palestine’ and ‘Free Gaza’.

Foul-mouthed graffiti on the ground and walls of the club also say ‘Trump is a c***’ and ‘F*** Trump’.

Pictures also show dug-up mud strewn over the pristine grass.

‘Gaza not 4 sale’ is massive white letters was also painted onto the golf course.

A spokesperson from Palestine Action described their action as a retaliation for Donald Trump’s treatment of Gaza.

They said: ‘Palestine Action rejects Donald Trump’s treatment of Gaza as though it were his property to dispose of as he likes.

‘To make that clear, we have shown him that his own property is not safe from acts of resistance.

‘We will continue to take action against US-Israeli colonialism in the Palestinian homeland.’

Trump announced his intention in February for US ‘ownership’ of the war-torn territory and said he wanted to ‘clean out that whole thing’.

The US president posted an AI video on Truth Social last week, advertising his plans for the Strip, which showed himself and Israel’s president Benjamin Netanyahu, shirtless, drinking at the ‘Trump Gaza’ resort.

Trump also threatened Gaza with further violence if the remaining Israeli hostages are not released.

He said on Truth Social: ‘To the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do , you are dead’.

Trump purchased the 119-year-old Turnberry resort in April 2019.

He then vowed to spend £200million renovating the property.

Turnberry is one of 10 venues which are on the rota to hold the Open Championship, but has gone the longest without a return visit.

After Trump’s reelection, the Open’s governing body, the R&A,reiterated its stance that the Scottish resort is currently not under consideration to host golf’s oldest major again.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: ‘Around 4.40am on Saturday, 8 Mach, 2025, we received a report of damage to the golf course and a premises on Maidens Road, Turnberry.

‘Inquiries are ongoing and anyone with any information is asked to contact 101 quoting reference 0636 of 8 March 2025.’

Trump Turnberry has been contacted for comment.
