Yahoo Finance Trump takes his campaign to...Scotland
Trump rocked the ugly American look at the Women’s British Open in Turnberry, Scotland earlier today. His “Make America Great Again” trucker hat screamed, “I am qualified to represent the American people.”
If elected, let’s hope he sports a similar uniform during all foreign tours, because, MURICA.
Though Trump owns the resort hosting the tournament, some worried that his presence might distract from the event. Trump’s response:
"Everyone's asked me to be here. The tour's asked me to be here. The world's asked me."
That’s nice. Should someone remind him that he only needs American votes?
Other notable things Trump told the UK press include, “I expect to be President,” and “Illegal immigration is a huge subject. I brought it to the fore and everybody is thanking me for it.”
On another note, props to Trump for keeping his cool (so far) on a Scottish golf course, he hasn’t always in the past.
In 2007, his plans to develop a luxury golf course and resort in another Scottish town – Balmedie – were stalled by a local farmer by the name of Michael Forbes who refused to sell his land to the Trumpster.
Forbes declined a £450,000 offer and later told BBC that Trump can “shove his money up his arse.” Their feud was profiled in a 2011 documentary, "You’ve Been Trumped."
Though Trump built the resort anyways (surrounding Forbes’ 23 acres), the local farmer did win the Top Scot award in 2012 for standing up to Trump (J.K. Rowling is another past winner).
Maybe one of the presidential hopefuls should hire Forbes as a Trump feud consultant?
