"When challenged to produce hard evidence about his claims on the negative impact of turbines, Trump said: "I am the evidence, I am a world class expert in tourism."

The public gallery burst into laughter."



My faith in the good sense of the Scots is maintained. They know an ass when they see one.

And there is this irony also in Trump suddenly becoming concerned about the environment:

"The course was built on sand dunes despite protests from locals and environmentalists. The dunes, which were home to rare wading birds, were bulldozed to make way for the fairways in 2009 and 2010."
