If there is any equivalence between the two of them, every day people will be waking up feeling happy because Sturgeon has gone ( or at least going ).

Within Scotland, she is the most popular leader in UK politics. The thoughts of people in other countries is irrelevant - even former one term presidents.

The ex president, sore loser, egotist Donald Trump is showing every one why he should

not be voted into the position of President again.   Please keep the swamp drained of Donald Trump.

  The Scottish leader has a lot more class that Trump ever has. I wonder just how many foreigners own

golf courses in Scotland or England or anywhere else in the British Isles?

Brought down? Like lying to the Queen and parliament brought down? Like crashing the economy within a fortnight brought down? Like setting the UK into a death spiral of isolation brought down? Or was it just that suffering the brunt of 8 years of lies and misogyny from the UK establishment was enough for her?

 

Unlike the last 4 failed Tory pms, she leaves office with her head held high and knowledge that she leaves Scotland a better place than when she took office.

Nice attempt at deflection. Not a bad effort at all.

 

As for having her head held high, hardly. She's scurrying away before the excrement hits the fan over the missing 600k. Drug use in Scotland at sky high levels, support for Independence falling. She's a political failure. Funny how her memory always fails her when asked tough questions.

The UK will be a much better place without her in a position of power. Women in Scotland will be much safer without her advocating for biologically male rapists in their prisons. I may just have a wee dram to celebrate

Recent polls do not agree with your claim.

And it looks like she believed the polls.

Mr Trump insisted that the people of Scotland would be "much better off" without Ms Sturgeon in the top job.

And much better with a communist leader nationalizing his golf course for the benefit of the people?

Still head and shoulders above the nasty party. 

Personally I am looking forward to fresh impetus from a new leader. Hopefully this will galvanise those doubters and ensure we break free of this 300 year burden that has dragged my country down.

Any supporter of Sturgeon labeling others as "nasty" is more than a little ironic.

Scottish Independence was highly unlikely already. Safe to say it's dead now. A fun fantasy for the bravehearts while it lasted, but well and truly off the cards now. Long live the UK.

Yes. Likely not sexually, but in general the bromance with Putin demonstrates not only his love of men, but his love of despots and dictators. 

e.g. the leader/ruler/dictator of Nth. Korea.

Trump was actually doing very well with the UK. Open to a trade deal, a great relationship with the PM. It was all looking quite promising until his successor came in and started pretending to be Irish and understand British politics.

So this week's fall guy for the failure of Brexit is Biden.

 

Well I suppose that it makes a change from it all being down to the nasty EU.

Everything Trump says or does is about Trump.

 

He also blamed her for combined losses of more than £15.4million at his Scottish golf courses, which Mr Trump touts to be 'the greatest golf properties in the world.'

You can understand Trumps annoyance with Sturgeon , considering she caused him to have such a big financial loss , his golf courses may now turn in a profit now that she's gone

Wow…. You are really trying to rewrite history. Has you any evidence of him being’ open to a trade deal’? Even you would understand that there is no way we would have received a favourable deal under Trump. He would have pushed us to lower standards AND made other demands that would have been unpalatable.

Or maybe the reason for Trump's golf courses losing money is that he misread the market.

 

It's not as though golfers are short of courses to play in Scotland.

That pretty much sums up every aspect of the man's entire being. How he keeps getting lawyers to take on his cases is baffling. By being involved in his shenanigans, they all end up having to get their own lawyers, if not getting sanction, disbarred, or imprisoned. Explains his string of legal losses over the past couple years though. I don't think many legit legal firms or top lawyers want anything to do with him at this point.

Apparently, there is no agreement about the cause of loss in the family.

Considering that the golf course also made a loss whilst the UK was in the E.U , Brexit wouldn't be the reason for any loss .

Good point, I forgot Eric could not be trusted more than his father.

Actually, following your line of thought, I looked at old news and found out that Trump lost money from the first year in 2014, so it cannot have been caused by Sturgeon either.
