Donald Trump weighs in on Scotland vote — and Scotland weighs in on him

[Divernan]

6. Salmond was Don's BFF when he over rode locals to get Trump planning approval.

"But please don't let us forget how we ended up having him in Scotland in the first place. Aberdeen Council refused planning permission for the Menie golf course and that should've been the end of that. The application was then called in by the Scottish Government. I recall Salmond spouting something like 'we have to show the world that Scotland is open for business'. Salmond fell hook line and sinker for the pie in the sky – the luxury hotel, a large housing development and thousands of jobs. Not only was planning permission granted, but Trump and his vile corporation were wined and dined and Trump was given an honorary doctorate (!). All this beggars belief and makes me wonder who the greater a…hole is in this sad saga.
