Donald Trump's hopes of escaping to play golf at his Turnberry resort in Scotland rather than attend the inauguration of Joe Biden in Washington on 20 January have been dashed by the country’s first minister, Nicola Stugeon, who says he will not be allowed to enter due to new lockdown measures. The White House has denied Trump ever planned to travel to Scotland.
Mr Trump returned to the campaign trail in Georgia on Monday night to stump for the Republican candidates in the state’s Senate runoffs on Tuesday, pushing his baseless election fraud narrative and pressuring his own deputy, vice president Mike Pence, over his role in certifying the outcome before Congress on Wednesday.
That came as a lie tracker maintained by The Washington Post found that the president had lied more than 29,500 times as of 5 November. In October 2020 alone, the month before the presidential election, Mr Trump was found to have told almost 4,000 lies. He also faces continued controversy over the assassination of Qassem Soleimani, with Iran issuing an Interpol arrest warrant for the president and 47 others.
