IF you didn't think Donald Trump was an assfacedjerk already

[underpants]

Anyone else reminded of "Local Hero"????

Donald Trump argued his case Tuesday for the construction of a US$2 billion (1 billion-pound ; euro1.3 billion) golf resort on a stretch of coast in northeast Scotland after months of acrimony between the billionaire developer and local residents.


Trump was in a bullish mood as he faced a panel of planners and environmentalists' lawyers in a public inquiry in Aberdeen. He said his golf course will be the greatest in the world -- better than the Royal & Ancient at St. Andrews, Turnberry, Carnoustie or Troon.

"The sight has superb topography and who's to disagree it has great vistas and magnificent views," he said.

He wants to build the course at the Menie Estate, 12 miles (19 kilometers) north of Aberdeen. The development has divided political opinion in Scotland and embroiled Scotland's first minister in a dispute about overstepping his jurisdiction in planning law.

The plans to create a course on a legally protected site of scientific interest have been met with opposition from local environmentalists and a landowner who steadfastly refuses to sell his property. Local fisherman Michael Forbes became famous after he refused the Trump Organization's offer of 350,000 pounds (US$690,000) to sell his family's run-down small farm in the center of the estate.

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.

Trump said that the moveable sand dunes would benefit from having a golf course on them as they will be stabilized and would not be blown away in a storm.

9. I have always thought that...also due to the huge phallic symbols he builds..and puts his name upon.

A definite smoker of big cigars and driver of big cars. I wonder if he has a big gun somewhere too?

4. The NPR report on this said that the locals were...

largely in favor of the project for the money it will bring in. The deciding Nay vote on the local board was cast by the mayor, supervisor, or somesuch thing, and he was summarily, and suspiciously, removed from office.

Be all that as it may, however, Trump is still one of the world's legendary assholes.

5. Im so SICK of these homocentric assholes

Trump said that the moveable sand dunes would benefit from having a golf course on them as they will be stabilized and would not be blown away in a storm.

The implication being, that nature would destroy itself if not for the "heroic" efforts of humans.

The hypocrisy is astounding.

7. Yeah

the quote on the BBC last night was that this sort of thing can be done if it is a matter of national importance "Nine holes of golf is NOT of national importance" said the local person concerned with her locality.

10. what an idiot

I blame the people who actually watch that PoS show "The Apprentice". This guy ran his daddy's company into the ground and that stupid show got him out of the hole.

11. Donald Trump is OK

He believes that Bush is the worst president in the history of the US.

And admittedly, Trump does have probably the silliest hair in the history of the US, but he is a very hardworking, successful businessman and I have no problem with him trying to build a golf course in Scotland. I am sure many of the locals will be happy about the jobs he will be creating.
