"Trump admitted in June that the global recession had forced him to delay construction of the five-star hotel, apartments and large luxury housing estate, which were at the centre of the resort plans. He said "the world has crashed" since he bought the Menie estate, in Aberdeenshire, and its vast area of dunes in 2005. Trump is now linking the delay to the windfarm, a position he did not take in June.

David Milne, an immediate neighbour and a critic of Trump, who has resisted pressure to sell his home to the developer, said: "I firmly believe he is just trying to sell. The planning permission he gained [for the clubhouse] was the final piece to increase the sale value of the golf course."That is the only reason they bothered going for it."

Trump's greatest, and perhaps only, talent is his amazing ability to spew bullshit without a hint of shame. He's flat broke himself and a good guess is that the real money behind this scheme woke up and pulled out last year.
