President Donald Trump didn’t hold back after landing in Scotland on Friday, using his arrival to deliver a stark warning to European leaders: get immigration under control or risk losing the continent altogether.
Speaking to reporters at Glasgow Prestwick Airport at the start of his four-day visit, President Trump blasted the surge of illegal migration across Europe, calling it a “horrible invasion” and cautioning that the crisis, if left unchecked, would erase Europe as we know it.
“On immigration, you better get your act together or you’re not going to have Europe anymore,” Trump said. “You’ve got to stop this horrible invasion that is happening to Europe — many countries are being overrun.”
He contrasted the situation abroad with what he described as a turnaround in the U.S., declaring, “Last month, we had nobody entering our country. A lot of bad people were taken out.” He blamed President Joe Biden for previously letting the border spiral out of control, calling him a “total stiff” on immigration, and warned that European leaders are making the same mistake.
“Some leaders have refused to let it happen — and they’re not getting the credit they deserve,” Trump added. “I could name them, but I won’t embarrass the others. Immigration is killing Europe.”
Trump Takes Aim at Wind Turbines
While fielding questions from the press, Trump also launched into a familiar rant — this time about Europe’s widespread use of wind turbines.
“Stop the windmills. You’re ruining your countries,” he said. “You fly over and see these windmills covering your beautiful fields and valleys, killing your birds. And the ones in the ocean? They’re destroying your oceans.”
Trump’s disdain for wind energy is nothing new. Back in 2011, he famously denounced turbines visible from his Menie golf course in Aberdeen, calling them “monstrosities” that would destroy Scotland’s natural beauty and hurt tourism.
As president, Trump blocked multiple renewable energy initiatives on federal land and has continued to oppose large-scale solar and wind projects. He reiterated his stance in Scotland, saying: “I don’t want windmills destroying our place. I don’t want those solar panels stretching for miles, covering mountains. They’re ugly as hell.”
Trump’s comments come as Europe continues to grapple with record levels of illegal migration, internal political divisions, and debates over energy policy — all issues the president has long warned would undermine the continent if left unaddressed.
