Mother Jones - The Trump Files: Trump's War On His Scottish Neighbors (Attack of the Shithead)

[TheBlackAdder]

.


The more and more that is revealed about Trump, just shows what a complete and utter shit he is.

The guy is nothing more than a lying, bully boy THUG!

When Donald Trump was putting together the plans for Trump International Gold Links in Balmedie, Scotland, his vision included buying out the neighbors surrounding the course so he could knock down their houses and have ocean views that weren't "obliterated by a slum." But several of those neighbors fought back, kicking off a battle that still hasn't fully died down.

The most famous of the bunch is Michael Forbes, who lives on a farm adjacent to the course with his mother. Trump at first tried to charm Forbes into selling his land in person. "Trump said to me, 'What's this land worth, about twenty dollars an acre?'" Forbes told journalist Michael D'Antonio in D'Antonio's Trump biography, Never Enough. "I said, 'Ach, in your dreams.'" Forbes rejected a series of offers from Trump and fought off plans for a compulsory purchase order (Scotland's equivalent of eminent domain) from the local council. An increasingly irate Trump issued a press release in 2009 calling Forbes "a loser who is seriously damaging the image of both Aberdeenshire and his great country. His property is a disgusting blight on the community and an environmental hazard."

There is more, much more...
