The Scottish Play: President Trump hit the links at his luxury resort in Scotland yesterday while thousands of Scots hit the streets and even the beachfront in protest of his presence during his first official visit.

Yesterday on the beach just a hundred yards outside of Trump’s Turnberry resort, protesters chanted, “Trump is a racist! Trump is a liar!” As many as 10,000 demonstrators marched in Edinburgh and floating above the crowd was the “Angry Donald” baby balloon.

Trump is in Scotland waiting for his Monday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Whether he’s booking up for it is impossible to say, but he’s not doing it on the golf course. Trump told CBS News anchor Jeff Glor that he has low expectations for the meeting.

Trump’s decision to keep his meeting with Putin even after the opening of an indictment against 12 Russian agents accused of hacking the 2016 election has astounded observers of diplomacy. The NY Times reports that, “The disconnect is so profound that it often seems Mr. Trump is pursuing one Russia policy, set on ushering in a gauzy new era of cooperation with Mr. Putin, while the rest of his administration is pursuing another, set on countering a revanchist power that the White House has labeled one of the greatest threats to American security and prosperity.”

Give Me Your Tired: The federal judge who ordered the government to reunite immigrant children says the government is covering for its failure to do so with a story that compliance might endanger some of the children. The government claims that they might be forced to reunite as many as 175 children with people who are not their parents. U.S. District Court Judge Dana M. Sabraw in San Diego accused the Department of Health and Human services of presenting “a parade of horribles” in their explanation for why they have not reunited children with the adults who brought them into the country.

The NY Times, meanwhile, has published a story describing the treatment of children held in the HHS baby jails. Among the rules, don’t touch anther child even if it is your sibling.

The story opens with the following paragraphs:

“Do not misbehave. Do not sit on the floor. Do not share your food. Do not use nicknames. Also, it is best not to cry. Doing so might hurt your case.

Lights out by 9 p.m. and lights on at dawn, after which make your bed according to the step-by-step instructions posted on the wall. Wash and mop the bathroom, scrubbing the sinks and toilets. Then it is time to form a line for the walk to breakfast.”

Nation: Protests broke out in the south side of  Chicago last night after police shot and killed a man. Demonstrators shouted “murderers” as a line of cops confronted them.

The shooting occurred after foot-patrol officers saw a man who was “exhibiting characteristics of an armed person,” police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said. “He looked like he may have something on him. They go to question him, and at that point a confrontation ensues and he is shot.’’ He said  a gun and two ammunition magazines were recovered.

Interestingly most people in that maritime country can’t swim.
