Controversial US president Donald Trump has been targeted by online pranksters branding him a "loser" in huge letters placed in front of one of his Scottish golf resorts.
Trump lost out to Joe Biden in the recent US presidential race but is yet to admit defeat to his rival, falsely giving credit to voter fraud for the victory.
Trump appeared to be having a change of heart after allowing the official transfer of power to the president-elect - with the federal government already recognising Joe Biden as the victor.
But yesterday Trump took to Twitter to once again claim a "RIGGED ELECTION", a tweet which was censored by the social media platform with the message: "This claim about election fraud is disputed."
In typical Led By Donkeys fashion, a British political activists group, a reply soon followed mocking the President.
The satire specialists had projected the word LOSER in giant letters across the front lawns of Trump's golf resort in Turnberry, Scotland.
A video of the stunt was posted online with the caption: "We know you're finding it difficult to accept the election result so we projected it onto your golf course with some familiar music."

The video was soundtracked by YMCA by the band Village People, a song used in Trump's viral presidential campaign.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
