10. not to mention all the lies and dirty tricks in Scotland for his golf course

snip: The landscape might be a sprawl of green, but Milne says he rarely sees a golfer. He was never a fan of the golf course, which spreads across parts of 4,000-year-old coastal sand dunes designated as a special environmental site.

But that's not why he dislikes Trump. It's because he's a bully, Milne says — and a really bad neighbor.

"They have threatened us at a few stages," he says. "We've had the water lines cut, the power lines cut, the phone lines cut — sometimes accidentally, but not always. He has lied to us, he's lied about us."

Milne says Trump tried to use the Scottish version of eminent domain to force locals to sell their property. And Trump has publicly insulted his neighbors, calling their homes ugly.

Sarah Malone, the executive vice president of Trump's Scottish company, denies trying to force people to sell.
