Prayers for the Secret Service agent’s family and loved ones.

The President arrived in Scotland Friday evening and stayed at Trump Turnberry for two days for meetings, calls and some golf.

As TGP’s Kristinn Taylor reported, Friday night soon after Trump arrived at his Trump Turnberry golf club in Scotland, a Greenpeace protester flying a motored paraglider with a large anti-Trump banner hanging below flew within yards overhead of Trump who was outside receiving guests, forcing him to race inside with his Secret Service detail.

Update: The US Secret Service released the identity of the agent: Special Agent Nole E. Remagen.
