Please let the current investigation into dodgy donations uncover a trail of dirty money from Trump to the Scottish government.
Anyone think he's not greasing palms?

The other day his spokesman was on the news talking about the council chucking this out. He said something along the lines of "take your small-minded insular shithole of a country and stick it where the sun don't shine, ya bunch of backwards haggis-munching troglodytes".
Unfortunately, I suspect there's enough MSPs that will genuinely think this is a great thing for Scotland. No greasing required, just ram it right in there.

There`s always the appeal. How many drunken developments in your town were chucked out then surface later after "appeal".
Did you hear Trump slagging off the farmer and his "scruffy farm and rusty tractors" what a shit.

Yeah, but that scruffy farm and rusty tractor are gonna be smack bang in the middle of his billion dollar development. Local hero, indeed.

Well, when it comes to painting the library walls red, yes, but this is huge - too huge to be dealt with the way in which it was.
Five or so minion like council committe members, not everyone who ought to have been involved was.
I think that might look like the ultimate rouse: this way Salmond & co (I really despise the git, always have) can claim the vote was in essence 'undemocratic' - we've heard it already.
Political doublespeak toss fer sure.
Trump says he'll make the development as 'enviromentally empatheitc' as possible (?), and that he's doing this out of his love for the place and the people (got a Scottish granny or something).
Somehow though, I think there might be something like a shoot to kill policy should one of us lowly proles go anywhere near the place.
Shit - means bastardface Connery might be tempted back too - bah!

Donald Trump and his ilk don't do anything unless it makes him money. Full stop.
He may shit gold coins, but he'll always have the face of an alpaca goat's arse.
And that, you cannot change, with any amount of cash.
