Presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is catching heat for apparently praising the Scottish people for backing the United Kingdom vote to leave the European Union, even though Scotland voted overwhelmingly to remain.

Trump traveled to his Trump Turnberry resort in Ayrshire, on Scotland’s west coast, for its Friday reopening ceremony.

Upon arriving in Scotland, Trump tweeted that the place was “going wild” after the U.K.’s so-called Brexit vote to leave the EU. He said he intended to bring a similar sentiment to the United States.

Just arrived in Scotland. Place is going wild over the vote. They took their country back, just like we will take America back. No games! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 24, 2016

The United Kingdom is a sovereign state comprised of four countries: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Overall, 52 percent of the U.K. voted to leave the EU while 48 percent voted to remain.

But 62 percent of Scottish voters backed staying in the EU, while just 38 percent wanted to depart it. All 32 of the country’s local council areas voted to stay in the EU. In other words, it’s likely that more Scots were disappointed by the outcome than were “going wild.”

British entertainers — including pop singer Lily Allen, actor Peter Serafinowicz and comedian Sue Perkins — were quick to point this out to Trump.

Scottish lawmaker Joan McAlpine, American model Chrissy Teigen and plenty others further chimed in that Trump should read up on the election results before tweeting.

The various tweets resulted in many Twitter spats in which Trump supporters and Brexit backers argued that Trump did not make a mistake after all because Scotland is still part of the U.K. In their eyes, he was referring either to all of Britain or the Scottish minority who voted to leave.

Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said Friday that a second Scottish independence referendum is “highly likely” because her fellow countrymen want to stay in the EU and might be able to do so as an independent nation. In 2014, the country rejected a high-profile independence referendum.

“As things stand, Scotland faces the prospect of being taken out of the EU against her will. I regard that as democratically unacceptable,” Sturgeon said at a press conference in the country’s capital city of Edinburgh. “I think an independence referendum is now highly likely.”

The repercussions of the U.K’s decision to leave the EU were already being felt Friday morning, as the power of the British pound plummeted and the world’s financial markets were shaken.

Trump also drew rebuke Friday for saying the weak pound could incentivize more people to take advantage of international exchange rates in order to visit the U.K. He noted that the scenario could benefit his golf resort.

“Look, if the pound goes down, they’re going to do more business. When the pound goes down, more people are coming to Turnberry, frankly,” he said.
