Trump has been told by First Minister Nicola Sturgeon not to fly to Scotland to play golf during the week of Joe Biden's inauguration ceremony.
Trump isn't exactly stepping down gracefully from his presidency, and this has fuelled rumours that he is planning to boycott his predecessors inauguration ceremony, scheduled for January 20, and take a golf trip to Scotland instead.
However, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has warned Trump to stay away, saying that taking a trip halfway across the world to play golf in Scotland was not deemed 'essential'.
The speculation about the outgoing US president's plans for a jaunt to Scotland started after The Sunday Post reported claims that Glasgow's Prestwick airport has been told to expect the arrival of a US military aircraft on 19 January.
The airport is less than an hour's drive from Trump Turnberry on the Ayrshire coast. Trump also owns Trump International near Aberdeen.
Asked at her daily coronavirus briefing about the rumours that Mr Trump was going to fly into Scotland to play golf, the First Minister said: "I have no idea what Donald Trump's travel plans are, you'll be glad to know.
"I hope and expect that - as everybody expects, not everybody necessarily will hope - that the travel plan immediately that he has is to exit the White House.
"We are not allowing people to come into Scotland without an essential purpose right now and that would apply to him, just as it applies to anybody else.
"Coming to play golf is not what I would consider to be an essential purpose."
That's him told!
However, the latest guidance from Scottish Golf has led to some confusion about whether golfers can travel in Scotland.
After initially being told to stay local, Scottish Golf has now issued a statement saying that golfers who live in Scotland are covered by the 'travel for essential purposes' guidelines.
