Donald Trump will Save Scotland

Celebrity News – Donald Trump to Save Scotland

 

Donald Trump ScotlandI had to laugh when I read about the latest exploit from Donald Trump (property mogul and former Republican presidential candidate).

He’s developing over 1,000 acres in what used to be rural Scotland – there will be 2 golf courses, 950 houses and a luxury hotel.

I can’t say I’m a fan of golf courses – they use an awful lot of water.  In fairness though, it does rain quite a bit in Scotland.  And golf courses provide entertainment and employment, and encourage tourism.  But golf courses rarely use native vegetation and so what grows on them takes a lot of resources, and the wildlife is affected.

But I digress.

Donald Trump’s machinery was ripping up grasses and flattening coastal sand dunes to make way for his massive new development while he told the Scottish First Minister that Scotland’s plan for 11 wind turbines to be placed out at sea will “destroy Scotland’s coastline”.

I quote from his letter:  “With the reckless installation of these monsters, you will single-handedly have done more damage to Scotland than virtually any event in Scottish history.”

Donald Trump said that he was opposing the wind project by financing an international campaign against it.

And then he added that he was doing this to “save Scotland”!!!

 

However, perhaps we should feel sorry for him.  The development has not been an easy ride for Donald Trump.  Several existing landowners were ‘difficult’.  And one home owner had a house that Trump considered “ugly”, so Trump built a fence around it – and then billed the home owner for half of the costs!

 

What are your thoughts on off-shore wind energy, golf courses, and Donald Trump saving Scotland?  Let me know in the Comments below.

  • I like some things about Donald Trump(I think he raised some responsible children while in the limelight….a difficult task)….but there is no question that he has an ego as big as….Scotland?And that he says outlandlish things for publicty…which is what the “saving Scotland” thing sounds like to me!

  • We don’t need saving by the likes of donald trump. We need saving from him!!! He should stop interfering in scotland and take his bullying, his ignorance and his money elsewhere. Scotland is a beautiful country and it is developers like him; who can’t see a lovely piece of land or coastline without wanting to build on it, who are ruining it!!
