Trump Turned Down for Scottish Open

European Tour chief George O'Grady has turned down Donald Trump’s bid to host the Scottish Open, following the withdrawal of current sponsor Barclays. Trump is reported to have contacted O’Grady twice. "But there is no way the Trump course will be ready until 2014” says O’Grady. “So we're not going to go to his course, if we ever do, as it's too early."

Police Accuse Trump of Harassment

In a bizarre twist, documents released last week by Grampian Police revealed a long-running campaign of harassment by Donald Trump demanding that the constabulary step up patrols on his Menie Estate. The documents tell of a tense and difficult relationship, of Trump and his senior aides hijacking meetings, and of police attempting to ‘manage’ Trump’s expectations of NYPD-style policing.

And while police may be attempting to resist his demands, it’s clear that Trump does receive preferential treatment while residents’ complaints are often not taken seriously.

Take You’ve Been Trumped to the World

Meanwhile the film-makers who found themselves on the receiving end of police harassment, when they were famously arrested while filming the award-winning documentary You’ve Been Trumped, have launched a new crowd-funding appeal to take the film to cinema audiences worldwide. “We've been heartened, humbled and amazed at the response to the film” says film-maker Anthony Baxter. Inspired by the support of Michael Moore, Baxter is convinced there is now a real chance to secure a worldwide cinema distribution deal, but needs to raise around $40,000 to fund it.

An ambitious goal but un-missable opportunity to take the Menie story around the world. And there are enough loyal TUT supporters to make it happen! Those of you who have seen the film will know that it carries a powerful message, one that can help bring about change for the better, and one that resonates far beyond Scotland’s shores.
Please visit the You’ve Been Trumped fundraising page, make a donation if you can, and spread the word:

delete reply bennett1 wrote on Oct 16, '11 Wow - he could hypothermic to death!! Or drown. How unfortunate. The entire world would mourn.

edit delete reply forgetmenot525 wrote on Oct 16, '11 bennett1 said ucker!! He is making an environmentally unfriendly golf course and objects to wind turbines?? Most of us despise him over here. There must be something you can do. oh I wish...............my hope is that he will eventually get bored with the constant opposition, I get the impression he doesn't cope well with the word NO. I think he expected to be able to buy every one off the way he has done in the past. The concept of some local, traditional people preferring their 'slum' as he called it to unlimited amounts of his money is something he doesn't understand, totally outwith his realm of comprehension. Part of the reason he is so angry is because he is utterly baffled at people valuing something more than money. He's so bloody stupid he thinks they are just holding out for more.............idiot that he is

There must be something you can do. Thanks for the links. And good luck. (That dead animal on his head looks ready to take off.)

I get the distinct impression you don't care much for Mr Trump :-) you're in good company, most of Scotland can't stand him either

Showing the film in The Hamptons NY is an excellent move. The Hamptons are the seaside playground for the super wealthy from the NY area, Long Island, NY. Since this story is getting no coverage in the US, perhaps some word of mouth will get the film in theaters.

delete reply mitchylr wrote on Oct 16, '11 Yes, I had heard about it. I agree with the first articles' summation that Trump is nothing but a hypocrite. He has no objection to ruining the Scottish coastline for his own ends.
