UFOs in Scotland...Trump golf course

There's no way the paper didn't recognize these, imo.
I guess being able to put Trump in the title was worth looking silly?

That's low quality even for the British tabloid press, hell, even for the Fail which is so bad it could taint the food if used as chip paper.

I thought at first it might have been a Grauniad typo and the headline should have read "UOF" Uninformed Orange ****-wit.

Having a combination of UFO and Trump in your headline is pretty much nothing but click bait.

If the aliens visit the Golf Course when Trump is there, and use a mind probe on Trump, they will probably decide that Intelligent life does not exist on Earth.

The evidence they'd be wrong is sorely lacking.

Wouldn't that be like dividing by zero?

Presumably if they can navigate the interstellar void they'll have sufficient accuracy to perform such a miracle...

You would think that Trump, of all people, would have built a fence around the course to stop this sort of thing.

At this point, it is pretty clear that Trump is an alien space-reptile.
And not one of the classy ones, either.

They should use their more usual type of probe. After all, that's where he's talking from nearly all the time.

They'd need HMS Endoscope, as referenced in this thread

Probably mildly NSFW in more straightlaced places but with profanity masked.

Well worth a couple of minutes to read IMO
