Donald Trump was left red-faced following a telling off after his presidential campaign team sent begging letters to UK politicians.

The US Republican front-runner emailed MPs from across parties last week asking for funds to boost his White House campaign.

A second email was sent out on June 22 from Trump’s son on behalf of the campaign and urged MPs to help him “make America great again” through their financial assistance.

It accused his Democrat opponent Hillary Clinton of having “corrupt, deep-pocketed donors backing her”, the Daily Record reported .

However Trump and Trump junior got short shrift from independent politician Natalie McGarry, the MP for Glasgow East.

She cut him down with an emailed response slating his “repugnant” campaign.

Her words, which were posted on social media, won praise from many of her Twitter followers.

She blasted: “Quite why you think it appropriate to write emails to UK parliamentarians with a begging bowl for your father’s repugnant campaign is completely beyond me.

“Given his rhetoric on migrants, refugees and immigration, it seems quite extraordinary that he would be asking foreign nationals for money; especially people who view his dangerous divisiveness with horror.

“The US elections are a matter for the American people, but I do send my warm hope that they reject your father fundamentally at the ballot box."

McGarry added: “The thought of his reactionary type of politics and apparent ignorance of world affairs having access to a seat at the world table is both surreal, and terrifying.

“The above is a long way to say No, and do not contact me again.”
