Donald Trump is probably the most divisive politician in the world - as loved by his supporters as he is hated by his opponents.

He has been accused of victimising Muslims, Mexicans and women, while pursuing an nationalist agenda which has left him increasingly isolated on the world stage.

But he has also fulfilled promises to introduce major tax reforms and dismantle Obamacare, as well as pushing social policies popular with American conservatives.

Ahead of his visit to Scotland this weekend, STV spoke to four of Trump's Scottish fans to find out why they support The Donald.

Trump's bombastic rhetoric - which has included describing North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un as "little rocket man" - has earned him criticism since he took office.

But John Steel from Glasgow likes his straight-talking style.

"I like Donald Trump mainly because unlike other politicians he says what he thinks and not what he thinks other people want to hear," said the 50-year-old.

"Some of his views may be controversial but I think he's just saying what a lot of people are scared to.

"We are meant to have free speech but if you say something that others don't like it's jumped upon and you're criticised for saying it.

"There are too many people nowadays easily offended by anything."

"If more politicians were like him we might get somewhere," John added.

Paul Roberts said he likes Trump - who before becoming President was a property developer worth an estimated £2.3bn - because he "doesn't work for the elite".

"He is a billionaire and not a career politician. He is doing a lot of good things," said the 40-year-old from Edinburgh.

"He has created jobs and has invested heavily in our country. Supporting someone doesn't mean you like everything about them but he is a breath of fresh air."

Fiona Fleming Taylor, from Bathgate, describes herself as a "huge fan" of Trump and said he has helped energise politics.

"He is genuinely for the people and not the establishment," said the 54-year-old from Bathgate.

"Trump has changed politics everywhere for everyone. He has dragged politics into the open and people are now more aware and involved."

"I wish Trump could be President of the world," she added.

James McCulloch was born in Oban but moved to America 15 years ago. He now lives in Texas and has been a US citizen since 2013.

"He may seem extreme to many people living in Scotland, but to me after 15 years living in the US he makes sense," the 53-year-old said.

"I voted for him and previously the only party I had ever voted for was the SNP."

Trump's tough stance on illegal immigration is a highlight for James and he supports the construction of a wall along the Mexican border.

"As an immigrant that was well vetted I think everyone should be treated the same," he said. "Illegally crossing the border is not the correct way of doing things."

Despite his inflammatory rhetoric about immigration and minorities - including claims Mexican immigrants are "rapists" and calls to ban Muslims from entering the US - James does not believe Trump is racist.

"I don't think Donald Trump is racist and did a lot of good things for minority groups before he became President," he said.

"He's definitely a one-off, I don't think we will ever see anything like him again. Some people will say that's a good thing but I'm not so sure."
