Those bagpipes were very, very loud, and a video of them drowning Trump out is going viral:

Trump is meeting with the British prime minister in Scotland, but no one can hear a word of what he's saying... In this clip, he was asked about recognising the Palestinian State, answering that he wasn't going to take a position but he's looking 'for getting people fed'. #turnberry #scotlandtiktok #keirstarmer #worldleaders #politicstiktok

Donald Trump Got Completely Drowned Out By Bagpipes, And The Internet Is Having An Absolute Field Day With It

Welcome back to another post about Donald Trump in Scotland.

On Monday, Trump met with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer at one of his golf courses.

Naturally, there were bagpipes there:

Those bagpipes were very, very loud, and a video of them drowning Trump out is going viral:

As they say, the comment section did not disappoint.

"How disrespectful, talking while they're playing bagpipes.." one person said.

"this is so wrong...i can still hear his voice we could've played the bagpipes louder than that," another person "joked."

And this person asked: "wait someone turn the bagpipes up i can still hear him."

Another top comment asked, "Can we make it more like a permanent thing and not geographically bounded just to Scotland?"

Then there was this realization: "this looks like it came straight out of an office episode."

We have this American asking: "Do we have bagpipes in the USA asking for a friend."

And another person wondering, "Why is trump speaking in bagpipes."

Honestly, the whole comment section turned into a bagpipe appreciation zone.

"Never been happier to hear bagpipes."

This person summed it up perfectly: "this is the most Scottish thing I've ever seen i love it, hear those beautiful bagpipes."

I guess we'll see what happens on Trump's big trip next!
