Once again Donald Trump is being unfairly being bashed by the press for wanting to create a world class development benefit all.

In the words of (local business leaders, tourism agencies and Scotland's nationalist First Minister Alex Salmond who approve of the development) "could bring much needed jobs and money to the area. which could bring much needed jobs and money to the area."

Look at what his developments have brought to New York and soon to Chicago. He is a great developer and his developments tend to bring areas up to world class status.

J-Chi,

Are you on the Donald's payroll? Since he's only famous because he inherited a boatload of money and hired a bunch of PR flaks. Hopefully, he'll stay in Scottland and we'll never hear another word from the king of come-overs!

...At the cost of the environment and rare wildlife. And what happens once construction is finished? Lets think a little here. The area will becone overpriced and push people who have lived there for generations out to more "affordable" housing. Donald Trump is an embarassment to the U.S. The less he travels abroad the better we look.

Oh, and, "Unfairly being bashed"? He's never bashed for no reason. His ego is his second downfall. His first would be his combover.

Perot 2012!

This just about sums up the Greedy B@stard:

<<David Tildsley, representing the Scottish Wildlife Trust, told the billionaire that he had ignored his own consultants on environmental issues.

Under cross-examination by the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, Trump drew snickers from the audience when he said he knew more about the environment than his consultants did. He acknowledged he had not read environmental reports that he commissioned.>>

Another greedy city developer whose idea of sensitive development is to bang up 100s of houses on top of a golf course on top of a bird sactuary within this unique local environment typified by spreading dunes. I can just see the floodlights and laser light showing happening a year or two after when hands have been appropriately greased.

Sure locals also want the jobs, sure the government wants the extra cash. But there are times when people like this jerkoff just need to be told to go and f@ck themselves.

Kudos to you, that man is a tyrant that needs to be stopped. All he sees is dollar signs in his eves. He should have stayed in Manhattan, NY where everybody's nasty and impatient.

The Big Combover is of Scottish descent? I thought he is Jewish. In any event if he is really of Scottish descent I think I may quit the group. How embarrassing for the rest of us if he even has a drop of Scots in him.
Scottish do not usually have his egotistical personality and we have a good sense of humor - something he knows NOTHING about.

But his hair does look a bit like an old sporran. perhaps that is the Scottish connection. Or else a grouse fell on his head.

It's sure one ugly-ass grouse that's hanging out on his head. If he has all that money, why not get a proper cut.
