Greenpeace, an environmental group, claimed involvement and professed that the paraglider was with their organization.
They took to Twitter with a message that read"#resist" and "#stoptrump".
According to the Greenpeace's U.K. faction, the protest aligns with their campaign against Trump's golf course.
We've hit @realDonaldTrump where it hurts - at his golf course. Trump does not believe in climate change. He's pulled the US out of the Paris Agreement, and is committed to burning more climate wrecking coal. We couldn't let him get away with a quiet game of golf... #resist pic.twitter.com/Di9SllcqN1
