Ayyyy!

Donald Trump is not a happy man.  He’s planning to bless Scotland with the best golf course that money can buy but those pesky meddling locals (and no doubt their stupid dogs) keep getting in the way:

Donald Trump argued his case Tuesday for the construction of a 1 billion-pound (US$2 billion; €1.3 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 told the inquiry that his golf course will be the greatest in the world — better than the Royal & Ancient at St. Andrews, Turnberry, Carnoustie or Troon.

So there he is, stuck in Aberdeen for goodness knows how long and forced to defend his honourable intentions at a public inquiry, drag his dead mother into publicity stunts and endure the ignominy of having his impeccable environmental credentials picked apart.  Worst of all, the weather is bloody windy up there.
