WATCH: Trump Drowned Out By His Own Bagpiper In Most Scottish Thing Ever

 

President Donald Trump was drowned out by a bagpiper at his own golf resort for a full two minutes as he tried to answer questions from reporters in Scotland.

After three weeks of the Trump administration trying to bury the promised mountain of information on deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, the heat just keeps going up. At every turn, Trump’s efforts to quash the story have only intensified interest in it, and deepened Trump’s own association with it.

As the president made his way to Turnberry, Scotland and his “Trump Turnberry” resort, Trump was still being peppered with questions about the scandal. The questions have followed him everywhere he’s gone during the trip, as reporters questioned him about developments like the potential pardoning of Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.

Even his golf course couldn’t keep out the onslaught of questions, but a pair of music-related moments provided comic relief from the drumbeat.

Trump loudly deployed the song “Memory” from Cats — a well-known Trump favorite — to drown out Scottish reporters shouting questions about the scandal on Saturday.

And on Monday, a bagpipe player employed by Turnberry returned the favor by drowning Trump out with a lengthy bit of Highlands funk.

The piper began playing shortly before the arrival of United Kingdom Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Lady Victoria Starmer, and kept on playing as Trump greeted the couple on the steps of Trump Turnberry.

In fact, he continued to play for a solid two-plus minutes as Trump tried to answer questions from the press.

A slew of short clips went viral as Trump critics reveled in the disruption, but none showed the piper who became a hero to so many who perceived the performance as a humiliation of Trump.

But Trump didn’t seem to miss a beat as the soothing lilt of the pipes ripped through eardrums during the opening minutes of the gaggle, or when it stopped.
