Compliments Trump Style



Yesterday, Molly Forbes lodged legal papers with the Edinburgh Sheriff Court against Donald Trump, reputedly one of the most successful businessmen in the world. She is protesting about Donald Trump's ability to change the planning permission he was granted recently. The Two Doctors has further details.

The Times takes up the story this morning. Molly Forbes, as some of you may know, is the mother of Michael Forbes who has refused to sell his property at Balmedie, near Aberdeen, to Mr Trump. Allegedly stamping his feet during one of his daily tantrums Donald Trump raved:

"Over the years, my representatives and I have often seen Mr Forbes and he has always been dirty, sloppy and unkempt in his personal appearance and demeanour,” Mr Trump said.

“While he is a terrible representative for Scotland, whenever the cameras are rolling, he parades in front of the press looking groomed and wearing a kilt — he truly enjoys the attention that he would never have received without Donald Trump. In a recent television interview that was broadcast in the United States, Mr Forbes made Scotland and its people look terrible. He is 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, with leaking oil containers, rusted shacks and abandoned vehicles dumped everywhere. It is a very poor image and representation for the world to see of Scotland.

“Instead of wasting the court’s resources, he should spend time cleaning up his land so it does not look like a slum — and a low-level slum at that. Perhaps he thinks that by creating an eyesore I will pay more for his land.”


How's that for compliments? It pleases me that I'm not within the aim of Mr Trump's venom because I would be reviled for looking like a downtrodden bag lady some days.
