Donald Trump has thrown his hat into the ring to become Scotland's first minister once his presidential term is over.
The US president hailed Scotland as having "very nice views" and "no crime" as he branded Mel Gibson's iconic film Braveheart "one of the great movies of all time".
During a visit Scotland this week - in which Trump met with with Sir Keir Starmer and current first minister John Swinney in Aberdeenshire - he said criticised Nicola Sturgeon as a "terrible first minister" but said Swinney was doing a "very good job".
The Times reports that, asked about returning to Scotland to be first minister himself, Trump said: “I could do that. I might be eligible. I could be within six months or something.
"But, it is a special place, but they don’t have some of the problems we have, they don’t have big crime, a different form of crime. They get into an argument or something - it can be very minor compared to the kind of things you witness every day.
"You know, it’s a very good way of life actually. They have very nice views too.”
Describing Scots as "great people", he went on: "No crime, no muggings. You don’t have people being hit over the head when they are not looking with a baseball bat, they’re not pushed into a subway. It’s a different kind of a place.”
Lavishing more praise on Scottish people, the president said they are "great fighters too". Referencing Braveheart as "one of the greatest movies of all time", he went on: “England sort of had a hard time with [the Scots], England couldn’t quite tame them.”
