Donald Trump has taken aim outgoing Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon

The Scottish First Minister announced on Wednesday (15.02.23) that she would be stepping down from the position and Trump was quick to take aim at the "failed woke extremist".

The former US President has family ties and business interests in Scotland and blasted Sturgeon for her controversial gender reforms that would have lowered the age that a person is allowed to change their gender to 16.

Trump said in a statement: "Good riddance to failed woke extremist Nicola Sturgeon of Scotland!

"This crazed leftist symbolises everything wrong with identity politics.

"Sturgeon thought it was OK to put a biological man in a women's prison, and if that wasn't bad enough, Sturgeon fought for a 'Gender Recognition Reform Bill' that would have allowed 16-year-old children to change their gender without medical advice.

"I built the greatest golf properties in the world in Scotland, but she fought me all the way, making my job much more difficult."

He added: "The wonderful people of Scotland are much better off without Sturgeon in office!"

Sturgeon is resigning after more than eight years in the role and explained that she knew "in my head and my heart" that the time was right to walk away.

She insisted that her decision to quit was not in response to recent controversies but had come from "a deeper and longer-term assessment".
