Many world leaders have responded to Donald Trump’s presidential win but Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon’s response is perfection.
People across the country, and the world, are still in shock that former reality TV star Donald Trump managed to get elected despite his lack of knowledge and after running one of the nastiest campaigns this country has ever seen. But it seems that as reality sets in many statements on the new president-elect from other various world leaders are being shared and many of them are optimistic.
One of the most respected politicians in Great Britain, Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon, has added her voice, speaking to Parliament on November 10:
‘During the campaign, I found so many of President-elect Trump’s comments to be deeply abhorrent, and I never want to be − I am not ever prepared to be − a politician who maintains a diplomatic silence in the face of attitudes of racism, sexism, misogyny or intolerance of any kind.
‘We hope that President-elect Trump turns out to be a president who is very different from the kind of candidate that he was and that he reaches out to those who felt vilified by his campaign.’
This isn’t the first time that the Scottish leader has broken the mold by not sticking to a neutral response. Sturgeon publicly announced her support for former Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. She also criticized the “Brexit” decision in the United Kingdom.
It should be noted that after the UK left the European Union, a move which president-elect Trump supported, bullying incidents dramatically increased across the country.

Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon also added:
‘I hope the president-elect will take the opportunity to reach out to those who felt marginalized by his campaign and make clear − in deeds are well as words − that he will be a president for everyone in modern, multicultural America.’
Only time will tell what sort of a president Donald Trump will be.
