for this epic failure. Trump will instruct the miscreant to perform a public harikari and while dying to apologize to Trump for Trump's shitty personality that makes everyone want to torpedo his projects. (Preibus, you came so close to this.)

I had never seen that video. Much appreciated.

I knew all about the rift with the property owner from years ago on Golf Channel, but no idea how it turned out. There was much more to that story than the video had time to cover. He pissed off Trump for years with one tactic after another.

3 or 4 times. It's criminal what that asshole is doing, not only in Scotland, but worldwide. He's the biggest liar in the world, and has to be in the running for worst criminal in the world. Telling the Scottish people that 1,400 jobs would be created. He's created 45 full time jobs there. That's quite a difference. I hope they don't allow him to put up a road sign without 5 or 6 environmental impact studies.

The man has no conscience whatsoever. He's a psychopath, the textbook definition of a psychopath. And he's OUR STINKING

PRESIDENT? I think his wheels are coming off the tracks now, and it won't be long until he loses it completely. Never before have people talked about him, and TO HIM, in such a way. He's always been feared, if not admired by some, but those people are becoming fewer every day. Few people that matter even care to be in his orbit now. He'll always have his loyal sycophants, for what that's worth, but their number dwindles each day. Soon, he'll become almost completely isolated, and then we'll see to what extent the madness of King Donald can project.

"Another agency, Scottish Natural Heritage (SNH), said the plans could breach
national planning policy and the national marine plan because of the proposed
course's location in the area's dune system, according to The Guardian."

.... down in the middle of this really rare dune community was an act of ecoterrorism.
The dunes should run on and on for miles along the coast.


Besides in that area alone there are already a bunch of world class golf courses.





I hope the Scot's sieze the land and let nature take the area back.

SEPA and SNH have voiced objections to Aberdeenshire Council about the Trump Organization's plans to expand.

If Aberdeenshire Council says no, they can appeal to the Scottish government.

Which likely means working with Nicola Sturgeon.

Wonderful!

people who lived around his golf course were able to get under his skin (thin skin) in many ways. One was to get a balloon and rub it for static electricity and put it near his head to make his hair look even worse than it normally does. Very funny!

Absolutely hysterical! The one point that Michael Forbes kept making - to just keep driving him crazy, eventually he'll go mad - is spot on. It's the best way to get to him. Ridicule. He hates being ridiculed.

I'm from Belgium. No very far for Scotland

I never been there but we are planning with husband and kids to spend a week in Scotland at the end of month.

I met a few scottish here and it was always a pleasure. Mostly people that works in European institutions or NATO

I remember once , a nice scottish lawyer a had to help, complaining about the rainy weather in Belgium. I was a bit surprised since Scotland is not exactly known for her tropical climat. He were looking so serious that I tried to find a answer that will not offend him till I saw him hardly containing his laugh. We finally endend laughing together. It is a great souvenir but I'm not sure I have fully restitute it since I'm not very fluent in english.

Spreekt U Nederlands ?

I used once to speak it as fluently as french but since i didn't practiced it, nowdays, all I can pretend to, is a good passive undertanding.

Well, even as a non-native english speaker, I'm stunned by his vocabulary. It is so far from what is expected for someone in his position.

I guess you will tell me that is far from anything expected for anyone who is in charge of a country and supposed to rule it

To be honest, since he stepped in the WH, I feel like each day is a 1st april...

No ..... I have google. I wasn't sure what language to use to wish you welcome.
German, Dutch, French, or Flemish.

Trump and the republicans taking power can only be called a coup. But we have
more than our share of dumb asses.

Not a consolation but we also do have a bunch of dumb asses

Still not a consolation for you, but the trump's clown parade brought us something positive as european : Netherlands and France finally rejected Wilders and Marine Lepen two right-wings as stupid as their master in chief Trump. Before November 2016, the danger was real to see them taking power.
