In Scotland, Trump Built a Wall. Then He Sent Residents the Bill.
BALMEDIE, Scotland President-elect Donald J. Trump has already built a wall not on the border with Mexico, but on the border of his exclusive golf course in northeastern Scotland, blocking the sea view of local residents who refused to sell their homes.
And then he sent them the bill.
David and Moira Milne had already been threatened with legal action by Mr. Trumps lawyers, who claimed a corner of their garage belonged to him, when they came home from work one day to find his staff building a fence around their garden. Two rows of grown trees went up next, blocking the view. Their water and electricity lines were temporarily cut. And then a bill for about $3,500 arrived in the mail, which, Mr. Milne said, went straight into the trash.
You watch, Mexico wont pay either, said Mr. Milne, a health and safety consultant and part-time novelist, referring to Mr. Trumps campaign promise to build a beautiful, impenetrable wall along the border and force the Mexicans to pay for it.
The Milnes now fly a Mexican flag from their hilltop house, a former Coast Guard station that overlooks the clubhouse of Mr. Trumps Trump International Golf Links, whenever he visits. . .
If America wants to know what is coming, it should study what happened here. Its predictive, said Martin Ford, a local government representative. I have just seen him do in America, on a grander scale, precisely what he did here. He suckered the people and he suckered the politicians until he got what he wanted, and then he went back on pretty much everything he promised.'>>>

You've been Trumped too (from a week or two ago).
The second one was apparently shown free on Facebook (by the director). The first is available on YouTube.
