By Kerry TruemanDonald Trump, the uber-developer and author, most recently, of Think BIG and Kick Ass in Business and Life, just got his ass kicked by a crew of conservationists and a fisherman who’ve blocked his plans to build “the world’s greatest golf course” on a stretch of Scottish sand dunes that are “rare and vulnerable,” according to the Guardian.Trump’s over-the-top proposal called for a resort, “two championship golf courses, a five-star hotel, a golf academy, nearly 1,000 holiday homes and 500 private houses,” to be built around “a site of special scientific interest (SSSI) containing sensitive sand dunes.” The deal had been expected to go through despite environmental concerns, but at the last minute, the Aberdeen council found itself deadlocked and the council’s chairman cast the deciding vote to kill the project.Trump, as crass in defeat as he is in victory, heaped scorn on the Scottish locals, saying “The members of the council’s infrastructure committee have chosen to protect a pile of sand.”Mickey Foote, a member of Sustainable Aberdeenshire, defended the council’s decision: “The council has been involved in a very lengthy and contentious debate over the economic benefits versus national heritage”they have chosen not to indulge an over-ambitious property developer.”And Michael Forbes, a salmon fisherman who became a local hero for refusing to sell his 23 acres despite astronomical offers from Trump, told the Guardian: “Hopefully, Trump has now got the message that we’re not a bunch of cabbages up here. We’ve managed fine without him up to now and we’ll get on just as well without him.”
