On Tuesday night Scotland’s First Minister wished America “good luck” before the polls closed. In her tweet, Nicola Sturgeon said the result would matter for the whole world.
Ms Sturgeon tweeted: “Every politician knows the butterflies in the stomach feeling as close of poll looms…even when it’s not our election.
“But of course the outcome of US elections matter to the whole world. Good luck, America.”
But Twitter users told Ms Sturgeon that America’s election has “nothing to do with you” in a brutal blast.
One user replied to Ms Sturgeon’s tweet and posted: “It’s nothing to do with you Sweetie.”
While another responded simply by saying: “Resign.”
A third Twitter user responded: “’Good luck’? Is that what politics is reduced to?
“Is that all that we have to offer? Is this a game or a gamble?”
The US is on course for its highest turnout in more than a century.

Taking to Twitter, President Trump said: “We are up BIG, but they are trying to STEAL the Election.
“We will never let them do it. Votes cannot be cast after the Polls are closed!”
Mr Trump is projected to have held the crucial state of Florida which could be a major boost to his re-election chances.
More than 100 million people cast their ballots early due to the coronavirus pandemic in the US.

Early on Wednesday, Mr Biden said he would be victorious.
He told a crowd of supporters: “We feel good about where we are, we really do. I am here to tell you tonight we believe we’re on track to win this election.”
He added: “We’re going to have to be patient until the hard work of tallying votes is finished and it ain’t over until every vote, every ballot is counted.”
Mr Trump is hosting an election party at the White House with about 100 guests.
A “non-scalable” fence has been built around the building in Washington DC before anti-Trump protestors took to the streets on Tuesday night.
