Green Party leader Zack Polanski has been branded "an imbecile" after calling for US President Donald Trump to be stripped of his Scottish golf courses over his actions internationally.
Mr Trump owns two resorts north of the border, Trump Turnberry in South Ayrshire and Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeenshire, but Mr Polanski has called on the UK government to sanction him.
In response, a spokesperson for Trump International Scotland denounced the comments as "ludicrous and ignorant" as they described Mr Polanski as "an imbecile".
At a press conference in Glasgow on Friday, alongside Scottish Greens co-leaders Ross Greer and Gillian Mackay, Mr Polanski said: "I would like to see Donald Trump kicked out of his golf courses."
He added: "Are Scottish people happy with him being able to enjoy the privileges and joys of having a golf course?
"He says that he loves Scotland - but do the people of Scotland love him?
"I imagine that most people in Scotland, and around the UK, recognise that Donald Trump is an unhinged man.
"He's dangerous, he's unpredictable, he's putting our country - both England and Wales and Scotland - in a more dangerous place."
Mr Trump has come in for criticism recently for his actions in Iran, where the US and Israel launched an offensive that resulted in the Iranian regime effectively closing the Strait of Hormuz, driving up global energy prices.
"With all that going on, it seems absurd to me that we aren't talking about sanctions on Donald Trump," Mr Polanski said.
