A decade before Donald Trump was elected president of the United States, he bought some land in Scotland for a golf course. Not everyone embraced his business venture — including a very cranky neighbor, Michael Forbes, who colorfully refused to sell Trump his land. Full Frontal's Amy Hoggart returned to her native U.K. to talk to Forbes and other Scottish critics of Trump, seeking advice drawn from their experience battling and thwarting the man who is now America's president. A lot of the advice, and the clip, involves very NSFW language, maybe softened a bit because it is delivered in a Scottish brogue.

"What advice would you give to Americans?" Hoggart asked Forbes. "Just keep pissing him off," the farmer replied. "Just keep him busy by annoying him, and then he can't do all the stuff we're worried about?" she translated. Forbes nodded: "Keep pissing him off, and he'll crack up, and he'll end up in a padded cell." Watch below (with a reminder: NSFW). Peter Weber
